PURPLE LEAF 2.7 X 3.65 M Garden Cantilever Parasol, Large Rectangular Overhanging Patio Umbrella with Crank Handle and Tilt for Balcony and Outdoor, Gray

Product Information

Whether it’s raining or 35°C blazing sun outside, Purple Leaf have created a garden parasol that will protect from both extremes. The 240 g polyester canopy is water repellent as well as UV resistant – water will run off instead of seeping through and the colour won’t fade over time. Fancy going in depth and full nerd when it comes to how rust resistant aluminium is? Well, here’s video for you- So, that’s the pros and cons of owning this kind of cantilever parasol, but if you decide you’d prefer this type, then you could do a lot worse than this product. The aluminum alloy frame is very good quality for the price, and will not rust which is important for a semi-permanent structure. Everything about this cantilever parasol shouts quality, right down to the crank handle you use to open and close the canopy. This is an area where a lot of companies cut corners to keep the price low, but it ends up being one of the things that breaks easily. From the time we spent with this model, I can’t see there being any issue in that department for years to come, nor with the height adjustment, which is just as well done. Durability of materials. The pole of the umbrella should be strong and sturdy. The most common materials used for this type of outdoor furniture are aluminum and steel. Not only are these materials hard enough to carry the weight of the canopy, but they are also rustproof.

Sitting under a garden parasol doesn’t guarantee sun protection unless it has a specific UPF rating like the CHRISTOW 3m Cantilever Umbrella. One other thing to be aware of is how much space the base with weights attached will take up – it measures over 1 m across, so it’s worth being sure that you have the room to accommodate this.Words are not enough to express the efficacy of the Divine Style Royal Purple Garden Cantilever Parasol. Due to its waterproof cover, you can use the parasol under the rain without any hassles. Besides, the waterproof cover is coated with anti-UV materials to ensure you are safe from harmful sun rays while keeping you safe from moistures. Interestingly, the UV-coating prevent the cover from fade and thus enhancing long time use. There’s always something to complain about though, I mean, I am British after all! With the Purple Leaf cantilever parasol, it’s more to do with what isn’t there as to any flaw with the design. You see, the fillable base you see in the advertising photos doesn’t come with the product and has to be bought separately, and it’s not the cheapest thing out there. You could always buy a cheaper base to use of course, but then it might not be up to the same standard as the rest of the parasol. UV protection is another aspect to consider. With children playing, senior citizens, and families using the parasol, it is crucial to consider the safety aspect of the parasol. After all, the canopy is meant for protection, not to make you ill. A good quality sun umbrella shade should protect you from prolonged exposure to the harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun to avoid severe skin and health concerns.

So, why is this product so much cheaper? Well, just like with both of the Purple Leaf parasols that are featured in this list, this one comes without a weighted base, and as it only weighs 11.5kg, you definitely need one. Thanks to the crank system, it can be put up and down without too much fuss and is easy to adjust depending on the current weather.Made from hardwearing steel, the frame can stand up well to the varying challenges of the UK summer. Plus, the 3 x 3 m canopy is 180 g polyester, so even if there’s a passing shower you don’t have to go scrambling inside. Of course, if there’s any more extreme weather, the parasol should be taken down to protect both itself and anyone nearby. Another thing to think about when choosing a cantilever umbrella is the height of the pole. The standard length of the central pole is about 2.5M. However, there are some that can go higher. Take note of regulations in your residential area when choosing the height of the pole. Some communities have restrictions on the height of outdoor structures. Those who live in windy areas should also think about getting poles that are on the short side for more stability. The benefit of buying a set is that these items can be quite expensive when bought separately. Therefore, a set can help keep costs low. Furthermore, if you buy these items separately, you have to go to the extra effort of making sure they all fit your parasol correctly. In a set, compatibility is ensured.

To give you some more info before we get buying, and some of the tips will literally tested these to the max 😀 It was such a tough job laying under a cantilever parasol with a G and T.
