The size depends on the area you want to shade. A compact 2-metre parasol works well for small patios, while larger 4-metre gazebos are great for entertaining a group. Be sure to measure your space before selecting.
Use a heavy parasol base to secure it in place. For extra stability, you can add sandbags or weights. Some parasols also feature ground anchors for added security.
Look for UV-resistant and waterproof fabrics for the canopy to ensure they last through all kinds of weather. Frames made from powder-coated metals or treated wood offer excellent durability and resistance to rust or decay.
A centre-pole parasol has the pole in the middle and is designed to sit through a table or in a parasol base, making it a classic choice for garden dining sets. A cantilever parasol has a side-mounted pole, giving you more flexible shade without a central pole getting in the way - ideal for seating areas or loungers.
Many gazebos are designed for year-round use, but it’s best to remove soft covers during winter months to prevent damage from snow or heavy rain. Permanent setups made from metal or wood can often withstand harsher conditions but may need to be taken down and stored indoors or in the shed during stormy weather, for safety.
All our garden gazebos are designed to be straightforward to assemble, with clear instructions and simple fixings. Some styles are quick to put up for temporary use, while others are more sturdy and may take a little longer to set up, especially if they’re designed to stay in place for longer periods.
