The 3m Cantilever Garden Parasol can be used to create a large spot of cooling shade over your corner lounging sets or dining table, providing you use a weighted base (not included) to keep the parasol in place. This product features a free-standing design which removes the need of a central pole and allows for versatile use. An easy to operate crank and tilt system will help you to adjust the canopy position when required. The parasol can be fully closed.
