Garden Parasols have always been a popular item in the UK but quite often they have to be bought as part of a patio set.
However, the free-standing Cantilever Parasol is growing in popularity and fast in 2020…
These adjustable free standing garden umbrellas ensure that being in the shade is a real possibility when the sun is blazing down.
We all know the risks of high exposure to the sun on our skin.
You can place them anywhere in the garden, take them on holiday or camping with you and also use them beside the pool.

Overall rating : 4 / 5
It is Jarder’s most expensive model but has some great features that similar types of garden parasol don’t.
For me, one of the best features is that once you’ve bought this item there is nothing else to buy (unlike other brands).
This makes things much easier and to be honest its a good feeling knowing that there are no hidden costs after buying it.

The highest quality parasol is our first pick on this list. To be honest, it ticked all of our boxes - decent max height, study base and thick canvas parasol cover.
This is what we look for in a cantilever parasol. The added bonus for this one is that it packs away - making it ultra portable.

Overall rating : 3 / 5
If you’re in a rush and on a strict budget, we recommend this one.
Also, while it’s not built for high winds we took one of our garden planters and placed it on the base.
This weighed it down perfectly for medium winds!
