Discover Your Perfect Cantilever Parasol
At Baser, we understand how difficult it can be to find a cantilever parasol that combines durability, style, and performance. Many options on the market fade, break, or simply can't handle the ever-changing British weather. That’s where our Original and Supreme Cantilever models truly shine.
Baser Cantilever Parasols are available in two outstanding versions. The Original offers reliable shade and strength, with high-quality fabric and a stable frame ideal for most garden spaces. For those seeking the very best, the Supreme Cantilever delivers superior durability and timeless design.

Choosing Between Good and the Best
Differences in Fabric, Frame, and Functionality
The Original Cantilever Parasol is designed for those who value a dependable and sturdy cantilever. Featuring ReSun™ Fabric, it offers excellent UV protection and durability—an ideal choice for most garden settings. With our Ventus™ Frame, it provides stability and ease of use, and is available in a practical 3-metre size.
For those who place a premium on durability and design, the Supreme Cantilever Parasol sets the benchmark. Made with Velius Acrylic™ Fabric, it delivers outstanding colour retention and weather resistance, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy and protection. The VentusMax+™ Frame offers even greater strength and supports a larger 3x3-metre canopy—perfect for those who demand top-tier quality and performance.
The Supreme Cantilever also weighs considerably more at 36 kg, compared to the Original’s 20 kg, reflecting its superior materials and durability. Whether you choose the Original for its reliable, well-balanced design or the Supreme for its unmatched quality, both are expertly crafted to offer lasting comfort and timeless style.
Where Should a Cantilever Parasol Be Placed? And What Size Is Best?
Finding the Balance Between Function and Size
The ideal placement for your cantilever parasol is where the side pole faces the sun during the peak hours of the day. Cantilevers are perfect for providing shade over outdoor dining tables or lounge areas—especially where traditional centre pole models might not fit due to limited space.
For optimal comfort, choose a sturdy cantilever parasol with dimensions around 3 metres or 3x3 metres. This size can comfortably shade up to six people. Features such as backward tilt and full 360-degree rotation give you flexible shade control throughout the day.
Some models also offer left and right tilt functions, letting you fine-tune the position of your parasol as the sun moves—ensuring continuous shade and maximum comfort.
What to Look for in a Cantilever Parasol
Stable Frame & Solution-Dyed Fabrics
Choosing the right cantilever parasol starts with a strong and stable frame. Cantilever models are generally more exposed to wind than centre pole parasols, so look for a side arm with a minimum thickness of 2 mm for wind resistance. Also ensure the ribs are at least 10 mm thick for added durability. Aluminium frames are an excellent option as they resist rust and offer long-term stability.
If the cross base or lower tube is made from steel, make sure it has a powder-coated finish both inside and out to help prevent rust and corrosion over time.
Don’t overlook the importance of canopy fabric. A sturdy frame needs equally high-quality fabric. Choose a solution-dyed fabric with a minimum of 220 g/m²—acrylic is the premium choice thanks to its superior durability, excellent UV protection, and vibrant colour retention.
Optimal Weight for Cantilever Parasol Stability
Choosing the Right Weight Is Key to Keeping It Stable in the Wind
Keeping your cantilever parasol stable—especially in windy conditions—is essential to prevent wobbling or tipping. Getting the right balance between overall weight and the type of weight used is crucial for long-term stability.
For cantilevers up to 3 metres or 3x3 metres, we recommend a parasol base weighing around 100 kg. For larger parasols, consider increasing this to 150 kg or even 200 kg to keep everything securely anchored.
It’s not only about how much it weighs—the type of weight matters too. Traditional paving slabs or plastic blocks filled with water or sand often fall short compared to weight bags or integrated base systems. These modern options provide a secure hold, helping your parasol stay firmly in place and giving you peace of mind, even when the wind picks up.
What Makes the Best Cantilever Parasol?
Frame, Functions, and Fabric
Finding the best cantilever parasol means striking the right balance between frame strength, functional design, and canopy quality. A sturdy, rust-resistant frame with a thick side pole ensures stability—even in windy conditions. Combine it with a reliable base, ideally weighing around 100 kg, to keep your parasol securely in place.
For effortless shade control throughout the day, look for features such as backward tilt and 360-degree rotation. For added flexibility, consider a model with side tilt functionality to keep you covered as the sun shifts position.
As for the canopy, high-quality solution-dyed acrylic is the premium choice. Its exceptional fade resistance, UV protection, and vibrant colour retention make it ideal for long-term use—perfectly complementing a strong frame for a cantilever parasol that’s built to last.

Let’s explore what makes Baser cantilevers exceptional and take a closer look at our versatile parasol range.
The Essence of a Superior Cantilever Parasol
Structural Integrity and Material Excellence: A Baser cantilever parasol is defined by its sturdy frame and premium canopy.

Rust-resistant aluminium frames and powder-coated steel components ensure long-term performance in British weather.
Material Excellence: Fabric quality is key. We use at least 240 g/m² solution-dyed fabric, with acrylic being our preferred choice due to its vibrant colour retention, UV protection, and overall durability.
Functional Design and Ideal Placement: Our cantilever parasols are designed for flexible shading. When positioned with the side pole facing the sun, they provide excellent coverage for outdoor dining or lounge areas. Most models are sized at 3 metres or 2.5x2.5 metres—enough to shade up to six people.

Weight Matters: Ensuring Your Cantilever’s Stability
Getting the right weight is essential for cantilever stability. We recommend a 100 kg parasol base for most models, and 150–200 kg for larger parasols. For best results, opt for heavy-duty weight bags or integrated base systems instead of water- or sand-filled plastic blocks.
