Transform your outdoor spaces into a shaded sanctuary with our exclusive selection of shade parasols. At Wowcher UK, discover deals on a wide range of outdoor umbrellas, patio canopies, and sun protection solutions designed to keep you cool and comfortable from terrace to beach. Whether you’re after a compact balcony parasol or a large cantilever umbrella for the garden, you’ll find options featuring UV protection, durable frames, and stylish fabrics that suit every style and budget.


Imagine stepping outside to a perfectly shaded seating area, protected from the sun’s glare while still enjoying the breeze. Our shade parasols come in sizes from small 1.5m models ideal for bistros and balconies to expansive 3m or larger cantilever umbrellas perfect for outdoor kitchens, dining spaces, and poolside relaxation. With vibrant colours, neutral tones, and weather-resistant fabrics, there’s a parasol for every outdoor aesthetic.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shade parasol and why would you choose one?


A shade parasol, or outdoor umbrella, is a sun-protective canopy mounted on a pole that can be adjusted to block direct sunlight. Unlike regular indoor umbrellas, shade parasols are built to withstand outdoor conditions, with UV-protective canopies, rust-resistant frames, and sometimes tilt or crank mechanisms for easy sun tracking. They’re ideal for creating shade on patios, balconies, gardens, beaches, and pool decks, turning sunny spaces into comfortable corners for dining, lounging, and entertaining.


Key features to look for include UV50+ or higher protection, solution-dyed fabrics for colorfastness, rust-resistant aluminum or steel frames, and a robust base (or weighted base) to keep the parasol stable in breezy conditions. Whether you need a parasol for a tiny balcony or a large outdoor dining area, a shade parasol helps you enjoy al fresco living while protecting skin and furniture from sun damage.


What are the most popular types of shade parasols?


Cantilever shade parasols: These offer a free-standing, offset design that creates uninterrupted shade for seating and dining areas. They’re perfect for larger outdoor spaces and poolside setups, often featuring tilting heads and vented canopies for wind resistance.


Round and square patio umbrellas: Classic shapes that fit patios, decks, or garden seating areas. They’re typically easy to deploy with a crank mechanism and are available with various fabric patterns and colors to match your outdoor décor.


Beach and balcony parasols: Lightweight, portable options designed for sun protection near beaches or on small balconies. They prioritize compact storage and easy carry handles while still offering reliable UV coverage.


Tilting and adjustable parasols: Allow you to angle the canopy as the sun moves through the day, maximizing shade without repositioning the entire unit. Great for dining tables and side lounges.


Materials and fabrics: Look for weather-resistant polyester or acrylic canopies with UV protection, along with rust-proof aluminum poles or sturdy steel frames. Some models feature wind vents to reduce pressure during gusts and extend their life.


How to choose the right shade parasol for your space and climate?


Size matters. Measure your seating area and choose a parasol diameter that adequately covers the table and chairs, or the lounge set. For balcony spaces, a compact 1.5–2.0m parasol can provide shade without overwhelming the area.


Base and stability: A heavy base, or a weighted base option, is essential for windy conditions. Some models are designed to anchor into the ground or decking using bolted bases for added stability.


Frame and canopy quality: Opt for rust-resistant aluminum frames for lighter weight and longevity, and choose fabrics with high UV resistance (UPF 50+ or similar). Check fabric density and colorfastness to prevent fading from sun exposure.


Operation and features: A crank, push-up, tilt, or auto-tilt mechanism can affect ease of use. Cantilever designs may require more assembly but provide larger shaded areas once set up. Consider UV protection, water resistance, and easy cleaning when selecting a shade parasol for a busy outdoor space.


How to maintain shade parasols to extend their life?


Routinely wipe down the canopy with mild soap and water to remove dirt, avoiding harsh cleaners that could degrade fabrics. When not in use, store the parasol in a dry, shaded place or use a protective cover to guard against prolonged sun exposure and moisture. If you live in a windy area, close and secure the parasol during storms or strong gusts to prevent damage to the canopy and frame.


Inspect the joints, crank, and tilt mechanism regularly. Lubricate moving parts if needed and check for rust on metal components. For the best longevity, invest in a parasol with a removable canopy that’s easy to clean or replace when wear becomes evident.


Discover great offers on shade parasols, outdoor umbrellas, and garden canopies at Wowcher UK. Our deals cover a wide range of sizes, colours, and styles to suit every garden, balcony, or pool area, helping you stay cool and comfortable throughout the seasons.


What are the most common questions about shade parasols?


How big should a shade parasol be for a dining table? For a standard 4-person dining table, a parasol with a diameter of 2.0–2.5 metres typically provides ample shade for the table and chairs, though larger tables may benefit from a 2.5–3.0 metre parasol or a cantilever model to avoid shading the seating unnecessarily.


Are shade parasols weatherproof? Many parasols are designed with water-repellent canopies and UV protective coatings, but most are not fully waterproof. If you expect heavy rain, consider additional rain protection or store the parasol during downpours to prevent canopy damage.


Do shade parasols require a heavy base? Yes, to ensure stability in windy conditions, especially for larger models or cantilever umbrellas. Look for base weights or secure mounting solutions suitable for your deck, patio, or garden surface.


Can a shade parasol be used on a balcony? Absolutely. Choose a compact, lightweight model with a small footprint and a tilt function to maximize shade in limited spaces. Many balcony parasols come with foldable designs or wall-mounted options for easy storage.


What maintenance tips help prolong shade parasol life? Clean regularly, protect from harsh weather, and inspect hardware for rust or wear. Replace worn canopies if needed, and store the parasol in a dry place when not in use to maintain shape and color.


Can I find good shade parasol deals on Wowcher UK? Yes. Wowcher UK offers frequent discounts on outdoor umbrellas, patio shade solutions, and garden canopies, with a range of sizes, colours, and styles to fit your budget while keeping you shaded all summer long.
