What is a cantilever parasol?

Cantilever parasols too are regular garden parasols. They vary from the regular parasol in terms of structure. It is this structural difference that gives them the edge over regular garden parasols. If you look at a cantilever parasol it will give you the feeling of a sort of a lamp hanging at the end of an arm, facing downwards. The pole for this type of parasol is located at the outer edge of the covering unlike the regular ones where the pole is in the centre. An arm extends from the top edge of the pole at a right angle. The other end of the arm is attached to the midpoint of the parasol. This structure gives a cantilever parasol its uniqueness. Our luxury cantilever parasols at Poggesi and Glatz parasols.

The greatest advantages

The greatest advantage of cantilever parasols lie in the fact that they can be used just about anywhere in the outdoors. Their structure gives them versatility unlike other parasols. For example, these parasols are great when you need to use them over your garden furniture that does not have a hole in the centre. They are also great to use over an outdoor hot tub to keep out the rays of the sun and the glare. A cantilever parasol is especially useful in places where you do not want to have any masonry work done to provide shade.

Similarities with other parasols
