Christow Garden Parasol Umbrella Polyester Canopy Steel Sunshade With Crank Handle

Product Information

You’ll want to look for a model with UV protection, with a rating of at least UPF 30+. Consider a parasol that offers UPF 50+ if you want increased protection for your family . Most parasol canopies are made from heavyweight polyester, and you should aim for a polyester that is minimum 180 g/m ² .

If you’re working from home, a cantilever parasol will let you take the office outside during summertime. The best cantilever parasols have adjustable angle mechanisms, offering shade from the sun no matter its position in the sky. These parasols will also keep you covered during weekend lunches, and protect the kids as they play outside.I have to be a little bit clear here though, and explain that some cantilever parasols are wall mounted, and so the range of motion might be less than a full 360 degrees. However, this type of parasol tends to be sturdier because of the fixed point on the wall, rather than relying on a weighted base. The parasol features a crank mechanism to effortlessly raise and lower the canopy. Simply wind the handle one way to open the canopy or turn it the other way to close it. This parasol doesn't disappoint in the daytime either, with a 2.7m canopy that offers UV50+ sun protection alongside a tilt mechanism to angle your shade and a crank handle for easy lifting and lowering of the parasol. We also like the addition of a sewn-on velcro fastening tie to keep the canopy neat when it's not in use.

Best budget cantilever parasol: Vounot 3m parasol– a real bargain at this price [personally tested and proven] When a parasol’s canopy does not have UV protection, the sun’s rays could still be harming your skin through the umbrella. There are a lot of solar powered LED parasols on the market these days, but more often than not, the lights have been thrown on there as almost an afterthought, and this leads to quality issues and problems arising after a short while.

Rinse the components, and shake off excess water. Dust the surface with baking soda, ensuring all rusty areas are well coated. After an hour or two, gently scrub the rust with wire wool. Rinse off, and dab dry with a paper towel. Making sure that the cantilever parasol you are thinking about buying has UPF protection is important. It’s something to look out for especially if you sit outside a lot or have young children. The parasol is simple to assemble with two pole sections that screw together. Assembly instructions are included, complete with information on caring for your parasol.

Operating the Jarder Libra is fairly simple. The canopy opening and closing is easy to work out and you won’t need instructions (thank God, as they aren’t exactly great!) and changing the angle of the tilt is no problem either. Rotating the canopy on its central axis does take a little more time, as you have to loosen screws, but it only takes minutes with a bit of practice. Plus, it can sometimes be difficult to find complimentary items of the right size when sold separately, so it’s reassuring to know that the weights and cover will fit together from the get go, without wasting time shopping around. It might seem as though a crank mechanism is a complicated piece of equipment with many parts, but it has its basis in simple engineering principles. As such, there are a couple of main components that do the heavy lifting — the crank, the spring, the spool — and these can occasionally go wrong. Fixing and replacing them is a simple process as long as you take a methodical and patient approach. With a couple of tools and new parts, you’re fully capable of keeping your patio umbrella a functional and attractive aspect of your garden set-up.
