Keep yourself shaded wherever the summer takes you with this Striped Beach Parasol from Christow. Collapsible into a compact size with a bag to easily carry, it’s a stylish way to shade you from the sunshine on beach trips, picnics, or when you’re chillaxing in your garden. 2-Metre UV Canopy Durable 180g polyester canopy is rated UV 50+ to protect you from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. It has an outer diameter of 2-metres and provides 1.8-metres of shade. Tilting Function The beach parasol has a tilt function, so you can easily tilt the canopy and block out glare from the low-lying sun. Simply push the button on the side of the poles to tilt it left or right. Air Vent A vent at the top of the canopy allow air to circulate more freely to prevent you getting hot and stuffy. It also protects the parasol from being pulled upwards if there’s a sudden gust of wind. Steel Pole The parasol has a strong steel pole which is powder-coated for enhanced rust-resistance. The pole comes in 2 parts with a durable plastic connection knob to easily screw them together. Fibreglass Ribs The ribs that hold the canopy in place have a durable fibreglass construction. Because fibreglass is flexible, there’s no danger of them bending and breaking when the wind picks up. Ground Spike Because the pole has a spiked end, you can easily plant it in the sand if you’re using it down the beach. However, we suggest using an anchor screw or parasol base for greater stability. Carry Bag The parasol includes a travel bag with a handle to easily store the 2-part pole and canopy. With a weight of 1.8kg when stored away, it’s extremely light to easily carry on summer adventures.
