Lastly, if you’re interested in having a parasol with an added ‘wow’ factor, you may want to look out for one with features like lights inside the canopy. This can create a really special ambiance and can be a great way to make use of your parasol even when night draws in. You can also put lights inside the parasol yourself.It’s advisable to place your parasol on firm, flat ground if you want it to be really secure. Cantilever parasols will work on grass, but the uneven ground will likely make them unsteady. Concrete is more appropriate terrain. Whether you’re having a family gathering in the daytime, or friends over for an evening soiree, the Greenbay Cantilever Parasol with Solar LED Lights is the perfect accompaniment to the party – just as useful in the night-time as it is in the day, its 3 x 3 m canopy is fitted with 32 LED lights. With four different colours to choose from, including beige and orange, there are options available for both the understated, modern garden and those with livelier themes. In fact, with colours like dark blue on offer as well, it’s even possible to tailor the canopy to match the colours of the flowers in the garden.

This double parasol uses a patented ‘One Move System’ that makes it very easy and simple to open or close the umbrella over the hight of a table by just one single vertical movement. One simple slide ensures your parasol opens and closes easily. Either coated or anodized, the strong aluminium frame and ultra-resistant canopies can be accessorised with infra-red heaters, rain gutters and LED lights.If your parasol comes with an empty plastic base, it can be filled with water or sand, depending on how heavy you want it to be. If you plan to relocate its position, water is recommended. Otherwise, for a better stability, it should be filled with sand, because sand it is heavier than water. Plastic parasol bases have the advantage of different weight possibilities, depending what you fill it with, better mobility and easier storage. Some of their cons ar that they coud be damaged easier and they have shorter life than the solid ones. Cantilever parasols tend to have a relatively secure stand and base (unless you’ve bought a wall-attaching parasol, of course!). That said, they will need to be secured if it is windy. These items can be bought separately, or, if you buy your parasol as part of a ‘set’, like the Jarder Libra Parasol Set, you’ll get them all together.
