Collection: Parasols & Parasol Bases

Garden Parasols & Parasol Bases

Enjoy some shade from the sun with a Lazy Susan garden parasol and base.

Available in a range of vibrant colours, from stone to green or terracotta, our high quality parasols are made from quick-drying, water-resistant acrylic. Designed to withstand the temperamental UK weather, our parasols feature durable fibreglass inner ribs to provide flexibility and strength in strong gusts of wind. Pair with one of our strong, cast iron, parasol bases for an extra sturdy foundation. With an intricate lattice design, our parasol bases are available in a variety of finishes.

Our parasols are made of an easy care fabric which can simply be wiped clean to keep them looking as good as new.

Choosing the right parasol

A garden parasol is the perfect way to create comfortable shade while dining and relaxing outdoors. For maximum stability and safe everyday use, we recommend that all centre-pole parasols are used in conjunction with both a garden table and our parasol bases.

Combined with one of our cast iron parasol bases, you can create a practical and attractive outdoor dining area that is comfortable, stable and ready to enjoy throughout the summer months.

For added peace of mind, we also recommend closing your parasol during strong winds and when not in use.

What colour parasol is best for sun protection?

Darker colours like navy often block more UV rays, but lighter colours like stone or green reflect heat better.

How do you know what size parasol to buy?

Match the parasol size to your furniture. A 2.5 metre parasol suits a bistro set or smaller table, while 3 metres plus works best for larger dining tables and loungers.

How to pick a parasol?

Consider diameter, colour, whether you need it to tilt, ease of use (all our outdoor umbrellas have a wind-up handle) and base weight.

Can the sun get through a parasol?

Whilst a garden parasol can offer quite a bit of protection, it is possible for the sun to penetrate. It’s best to locate the table in partial shade if possible, wear UV sunscreen and limit exposure to the sun’s rays in the middle of the day.

Do parasols stop rain?

Our parasols are water-resistant (and quick-drying) but are not waterproof. They provide some rain protection but are not designed for that purpose. They are designed to provide shade from the sun.

Can I leave my parasol out in the rain?

It’s best to close and store parasols during rain or storms to prevent damage and discolouration.

Do parasol bases fit all parasols?

Yes, our parasol bases are compatible with all parasol sizes available on our website. Each base comes with a spacer, designed to provide added stability when used with 2.5m and 2.7m diameter parasols.
