Stay cool this summer with garden parasols
Now that we’re fully into the swing of spring, we’re sure that the weather can only continue to improve as we head into the summer months. With that in mind, we realise that something we haven’t highlighted too often is the importance of quality garden parasols, so this blog article is designed to provide you with the information you need to select the right parasol for your outdoor space.
Parasols are extremely useful during the bright summer months, as they provide important shade while you’re dining al fresco with the family or simply relaxing under the sun with one of your favourite books. They are often overlooked, as people typically focus on choosing the garden table and chairs, but a garden parasol really does add the finishing touch to your garden furniture set.
They allow you to safely make the most of the time you spend relaxing or socialising outdoors, and a parasol over a garden or patio table, outdoor lounge chair, children’s play area or any other outdoor area is the best way to remain cool and protect yourself from the summer sun. With all that said, the parasol is only going to be as good as the quality with which it’s made. That’s why here at Barbed, we only stock stylish garden parasols of the highest quality from a range of designers including Cane-Line and Gandia Blasco.
Aberdeen Parasol with Crank
From Cane-Line, the Aberdeen Parasol with Crank is a classic Danish design that has been created and updated to complement modern outdoor spaces. The pole is made of quality wood and the parasol is 100% Olefin. The crank that comes with the parasol allows you to easily extend or retract it during use, so there’s no need to fumble around with difficulty when trying to open or close it. Available in black or white, this is a design that would look great in any contemporary garden space, and it’s one extremely stylish way to keep yourself in the shade.
Hyde Hanging Parasol
We also offer the large Hyde Hanging Parasol from Cane-Line, which combines practicality with effortless style. This parasol can provide an incredibly simple way to create shade in the garden during the upcoming sunny months, thanks to its handle which allows the parasol to be tilted to 6 different angles, along with the ability to be rotated a full 360 degrees. This means you can easily shade yourself from the sun no matter which direction its coming from at the turn of a handle. It’s available in taupe or grey colours, and its built with a sturdy aluminium frame and the fabric is 100% spun polyester fibres.
Ensombra Parasol
For something simple yet creative, look no further than the Ensombra parasol. Designed by Ramón Esteve for Gandia Blasco, this parasol is original in design, with functionality that has been thought through to the very last detail. It exhibits simple purism and can harmoniously adapt to any outdoor furnishing style. It’s a beautiful combination of both timeless and modern, and a slight breeze will create a fascinating display of light and shadow in the overhead lamellae. The pole is made of thermo-lacquered stainless steel and the strips are phenolic plate. It’s available in a range of different shades to easily match your personal taste.
