Do you want to enjoy the sun on a bright morning in your garden? With an outdoor parasol, you can enjoy the shade all summer. Parasols are relevant additions to the garden that help house inhabitants enjoy sunlight without getting sunburns. 

Here’s a list of the different types of parasols that you can choose from. 

What are the different types of parasols?

Upright parasol 

This is a classic form of parasol, either round or rectangular in shape, commonly found in many gardens. The canopy attached to the upright parasol is generally made of polyester. They are easy to install, and if you have a big garden, you can install more than one upright parasol. Perfect for enjoying lunch or eventing tea under.

Tilting parasol 

These parasols are similar to upright parasols with a tilted canopy and an adjustable pole. The best thing about this parasol is that it can be moved, shifted, and tilted according to the sun’s shifting position. With a quick adjustment, you can tilt it in the direction of the sun and remain in the shade without moving.

Cantilever parasol 

Cantilever parasols are a new addition to the parasol family. They are mounted either on the side of the table or in the centre with a sliding handle and a crank. You can adjust the position of this parasol by either tilting or swivelling them. These parasols are generally made of aluminium and are weather-resistant. 

Wall mounted parasol 

Do you need a shady place in the garden to relax? Then, fixing a wall-mounted parasol is the best choice. With no hassles of pole or base, this parasol is neatly mounted into the wall and provides shade to a good amount of floor space. These parasols are a perfect addition to small gardens; they do not take up much space and give protection from sun exposure.
