6 Great Reasons To Love Our Cantilever Parasols
A good friend of mine once said, “If the centre pole umbrellas are comparable to say Audi or BMW, then those side arms have to be Ferrari”! Now without going over the top, I think I have to agree. Next week I’ll be explaining all about our strong, reliable centre pole umbrellas, but this week it’s all about the star of the show – The Side Arm Garden Parasol.
1. Design If you’ve recently visited Florence there’s a good chance you’ve already seen one of our cantilever parasols. Designed and handmade by Poggesi in the heart of Tuscany, they are the very definition of Italian craftsmanship and luxury.
2. Strength A key feature of our cantilever umbrellas is that the arm sits underneath the canopy - This holds it in place and provides greater strength and stability. All of our umbrellas are strength tested, and have an excellent record in the UK and across the Mediterranean. Of course we always recommend closing the umbrella and covering with the storage bag when the weather decides to turn for the worse.
3. Operation Each of our side arm parasols are incredibly easy to use. Our fixed height model, the Toscana, features a winch system that opens the canopy and lowers the arm in a single action – Perfect for commercial settings. The larger Piazza is our adjustable height cantilever parasol, which allows you to lower/raise the arm and open/close the canopy separately. It is also possible to level and tilt the canopy for greater variation.
4. Canopies All of our Poggesi umbrellas and parasols come in a large choice of canopy colours. Each one is designed, cut and stitched by hand, and made from the finest Italian Acrylic fabric.
5. Easy Storage It’s so simple to store these parasols when they’re not being used. Once the canopy is closed and in an upright position, simply cover with the storage bag and tie off at the bottom – Easy.
6. Perfect In Any Setting Whether they’re standing poolside at a Spanish villa, or guarding the dining table in an English country garden, our side arm parasols are ideal in any setting. Not only for domestic use, they also provide a far more stylish alternative at restaurants, hotels, and bars.
Our side arm umbrellas are a product to enjoy and to be proud of. Gone are the days of the small wooden centre pole umbrellas that many people seem to think are the only option. It is possible to create a stunning outside space for relaxing, dining, and entertaining friends and family this year with a cantilever parasol from Wells Umbrellas.
