About this product
The Horizon 3m Cantilever Banana Garden Parasol offers a stylish solution for creating shade over your outdoor dining or garden set. This cantilever design allows you to hang the parasol directly above your table without needing a central pole obstructing the space. It’s perfect for those who value both aesthetics and functionality in their patio furniture choices.
This Horizon parasol features a robust crank winding mechanism, enabling convenient adjustment of its open and closed positions. The inclination angle can also be adjusted to suit changing weather conditions or personal preference, ensuring optimal shade throughout the season. Constructed with high quality 180G polyester fabric, the canopy is designed to withstand exposure to the sun and light rain, providing reliable protection.
The parasol boasts a generous 3-metre diameter, offering ample coverage for a substantial dining area or larger seating arrangement. The colour scheme combines black, grey, green and natural tones, complementing various garden styles. It’s important to note that a heavy base is required to maintain stability in windy conditions, as this model does not include one – these are often sold separately.
The Horizon Banana Parasol represents a premium investment for serious gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts. Its durable polyester canopy and adjustable features ensure long-lasting performance, while the cantilever design provides flexibility and convenience. Remember to consider whether you require a separate heavy base to guarantee stability in exposed locations.
