I want to use an umbrella, but without a table. How do I ensure it won't tip over?

It is impossible to guarantee due to extreme weather. However, if you plan to use an umbrella without a table, we recommend that the base is at least 50lbs in weight. For larger umbrellas, over 10ft, we recommend a 150lb base.

All of our parasols are recommended with specific weights for the bases.

Can I order on line?

No, not at this time. We believe in a more personal approach with our clients on email or over the telephone.

I want an umbrella, but what weight does the base need to be?

It depends whether or not you intend to use a table. Most of our parasols listed indicate which size base you need with or without a table.

Are there any additional costs to the prices shown?

Prices do not include delivery or local taxes that may apply.

Can you supply replacement  canvas for my umbrella?

Only for Tradewinds May and Shademakers

How can I pay?

We can take bank transfer (BACS) and we take most credit cards.

Where are your umbrellas manufactured?

Our Parasol range is comprehensive and each brand comes from differing countries; USA, Germany, South Africa and New Zealand. You may rest easy that all of the range is of the highest quality.

Which umbrella will suit my table?

Umbrellas can be placed in the middle of a table or freestanding offset to one side, dependant on shade requirements. An umbrella offset to one side usually offers more shade. Both the round and rectangular umbrellas complement round tables. Equally, an octagonal or rectangular umbrella can be just as effective with rectangular tables. If your garden is large with minimal natural shading, there is a good chance of the Sun lying low in the sky towards the end of the afternoon, a Mezzo umbrella is a nice option.
