About this product
The Harrier 3m Cantilever Parasol from Harrier offers generous shade coverage for patios, decking, lawns and garden furniture sets. This large cantilever parasol boasts a 3-metre wide canopy diameter, providing expansive protection from direct sunlight, while its side-post design ensures the centre area remains clear for tables and chairs.
Constructed with a heavy-duty steel frame featuring electro zinc plating and polyester powder coating, this parasol is built to withstand regular summer use. The 180gsm polyester canopy is water resistant and UV treated, helping maintain colour and durability. Featuring a smooth crank mechanism for easy opening and closing, and a hand latch system for secure height adjustment and locking, it’s designed for everyday convenience.
The Harrier 3m Cantilever Parasol offers a modern style with a solid pattern and a half-round item shape. It comes included with a cover and weighs 14 kilograms. This parasol is suitable for adult use and intended for patio settings.
Consider that a heavy base is required separately to ensure stability in windy conditions, and is sold as an optional extra. Available as a standalone parasol or alongside a weatherproof cover and four heavy base weights, you can customise your setup to suit your needs and enjoy year-round protection when not in use.

FAQ
What is this parasol best suited for?
The Harrier 3m Cantilever Parasol offers generous shade coverage, making it ideal for patios, decking areas and lawns. Its design allows you to comfortably position tables and chairs underneath the canopy while protecting from direct sunlight.
What materials are used in the construction of this parasol?
The parasol features a heavy-duty steel frame with electro zinc plating and polyester powder coating for rust resistance, alongside an 180gsm polyester canopy. The crank handle and locking mechanism utilise alloy steel.
How do I care for and clean the canopy?
To maintain the appearance of the polyester canopy, simply wipe it down with a dry cloth. Regular cleaning will help preserve its colour and durability against UV exposure and weather conditions.
What size is the canopy diameter?
The canopy diameter is 300 centimetres, providing ample shade coverage across a wide area. This makes it suitable for larger patio dining sets.
How does this parasol compare to other £100 umbrellas?
This cantilever design offers a significant advantage over standard umbrellas by freeing up space under the canopy, which is particularly useful for dining furniture. The robust construction and weather-resistant materials also provide better durability compared to cheaper alternatives.
What comes included with this parasol purchase?
The purchase includes the parasol itself and a cover. Additional accessories like base weights or LED lighting are sold separately, depending on the chosen product variation.
Is it easy to adjust the position of the umbrella?
Yes, the smooth crank mechanism allows for easy opening and closing of the umbrella, while the hand latch system provides secure height adjustment and locking capabilities.
Does this parasol require any special maintenance?
The frame is designed to be weather-resistant with electro zinc plating and powder coating. Regular wiping down of the polyester canopy with a dry cloth will help maintain its appearance.
What should I do if the parasol becomes unstable in windy conditions?
For enhanced stability, we recommend purchasing heavy base weights separately (sold separately) to provide additional resistance against wind gusts. The product description highlights this requirement.
Are there any safety considerations when using this parasol?
Always ensure the locking system is engaged before adjusting the umbrella's height or tilt to prevent accidental movement and potential injury. Keep children away from the crank mechanism during operation.
