MANUFACTURER 2 YEAR WARRANTY INCLUDED

CRANK MECHANISM: Features a robust crank mechanism for easy opening and closing as well as an air vent at the top - aids through flow of air and prevents wind pulling up the parasol.The Scelto 2.7M Garden Umbrella with Crank and Tilt is a table umbrella that has many of the features of other table models. Its 2.7m polyester canopy will throw shade on a 1.2m square table with four or six chairs. It’s easy to assemble; a crank handle and a push button make it also easy to use. Also known as the canopy, this is the part of the outside umbrella that actually keeps out the sun. The material the canopy is made of affects how much sun is kept out and how long the colour will last before fading. Some materials are more water-resistant than others. Material labelled as showerproof might let some of the heavy rain through in a storm though. The base and a storm cover are not included with this umbrella. You can probably do without the storm cover because there is a strap to hold the parasol to the frame when it’s not in use, however, we would really recommend investing in a separate cover and you do also need to buy a base. You do have to bend down low when closing the parasol, otherwise, it lands on your head. This problem may be true of garden umbrellas in general.

Another thing we love about this parasol is the level of customisation it offers. With a whopping 80+ different settings, it has a shape and size for every occasion. Parasols for garden umbrellas come in a variety of shapes – the round, square, hexagonal and octagonal are the popular choices. The number of spokes that hold the umbrella in its extended position varies with the shape. For example, a square parasol has four spokes and the hexagonal one has six spokes. The more spokes you have the sturdier the parasol structure.

Garden parasols to keep you cool and dry

A six-sided canopy is three metres in diameter so you can fit your family or friends comfortably underneath. The VonHaus 2.7 Metre Steel Powder Coated Parasol is a tabletop model that fits into the hole in the centre of your patio table for shade, particularly during meal times.

TILT MECHANISM: Convenient tilt mechanism allows you to angle and adjust the canopy, allowing you to create the perfect amount of shade at any time of the day. The metal parts of the frame are powder-coated in grey which offsets the colour of the canopy. The base is in four parts and is easy to assemble. It’s made of lightweight plastic and comes empty, as do all bases. When you’ve assembled it, fill the base with water (62kg) or with sand (80kg). When filled, this base is heavier than many other bases that are available. The VonHaus Cantilever Parasol Set is a high-quality outdoor umbrella that you can use on your patio or anywhere else in the garden. Its banana-shape frame lets you sit or lay away from the stand, keeping it out of the way of your chairs, table and sun lounger. The generous size of the beige hexagonal parasol (at 3m in diameter) fits most needs for escaping the hot and bright sun without having to move indoors. Cantilever parasols (aka overhanging parasols) have no central stem, making them ideal for shieldingWhile it’s useful to have a base that you fill yourself, the heaviness that makes for a sturdy foundation also makes it difficult to move when it’s filled. It may be worth anchoring the umbrella to the ground with bungee cords to increase its stability. Wall-mounted parasols do not require a base and take up less space, making them a great option for narrow balconies or patios. The parasol is adjustable and tilts in a wide arc. You won’t have to move this umbrella to follow the sun. A simple crank handle raises and lowers the parasol so anyone can use it. However, the height of the stand is not adjustable. Some reviewers have just sawn a piece off the bottom of the pole to make it the height they want, if you want to bring it down a little that is. No sun? No problem – the water-resistant polyester canopy provides shelter from showers, so you can stay dry as you wait it out. Forever the optimists, be prepared for scorching sun thanks to UV30+ protection. Enjoy hot days under the sun’s glow through the canopy rather than blinding beams! The shape and weight of the base add to the stability of your patio umbrella. You need a heavy enough base so the umbrella won’t tip over if it’s bumped or if there’s a strong wind when it’s up. Sometimes the umbrella comes with a base but you need to make sure that it’s heavy enough.

Along with the umbrella, the base and the assembly instructions comes a water-resistant storm cover that also protects this garden umbrella from UV rays. Pros
