Original vs. Supreme Garden Parasols
Baser – Choosing Between Good and the Best
The Original Garden Parasol, available with SmoothPush™ or crank, features ReSun™ Fabric for reliable UV protection and a sturdy Certus™ Frame with 8 ribs – all designed with a practical push tilt function.
The Supreme Garden Parasol delivers enhanced durability with Velius Acrylic™ Fabric and a reinforced Certus+™ Frame with 8 ribs. You can choose between the PushLock™ system or the advanced VersoCrank™ system for added convenience.
Both models offer height adjustment and tilt options, but the Supreme includes AutoTilt™ for seamless sun tracking. Go with the Original for dependable quality—or the Supreme if you want top-tier performance and long-lasting value.
What to Look for in a Centre Pole Parasol?
Aluminium Frame & Solution-Dyed Fabrics
When choosing a centre pole parasol, prioritise a frame made entirely of aluminium, which resists rust and offers greater flexibility than steel. Pay close attention to rib thickness—anything from 1 mm and up signals strong build quality and durability.
For the canopy, solution-dyed fabrics are key. They resist fading and offer vital UV protection, helping your parasol stay vibrant and effective. Acrylic outperforms polyester and olefin—it's stronger, keeps its colour better, and feels softer to the touch, offering a premium look and feel over cheaper, plastic-like materials.
What Makes the Best Garden Parasol
Tilt and Height Adjustment
Choosing the best parasol is about more than just materials—it’s also about functionality and ease of use.
The real benefit comes from flexible tilt and height adjustments, allowing you to maintain optimal shade as the sun moves across the sky. Adjust the height for better coverage when the sun is low, and tilt effortlessly for protection throughout the day.
If manual adjustments aren’t for you, a reliable crank system with auto-tilt offers smooth and simple control. It’s ideal for anyone looking for easy, accessible shade management—without the hassle.
What Size Should My Garden Parasol Be?
Why 3m & 250x250 cm Are Ideal Choices
When choosing the size of your parasol, remember that larger models tend to be more affected by wind. The 3-metre and 250x250 cm sizes are particularly popular for gardens and patios, providing generous shade for dining or lounging without compromising stability.
For larger areas such as poolsides or wide terraces, prioritise features like tilt and height adjustment over sheer size. A well-designed 3-metre parasol with functional adjustments can offer better all-day shade than a 4-metre option without them.
Wind conditions matter—it's often wiser to opt for a smaller, sturdier parasol that offers more flexibility. For better coverage and wind resistance, two smaller parasols may outperform one oversized model.
How Heavy Should Your Parasol Base Be?
Choosing the Right Weight and Base Design
Stability is essential for any parasol—preventing wobble or, worse, being blown over. While weight is important, the overall design of the base is equally critical to long-term performance.
As a general rule, a 40 kg base is ideal for 3-metre or 250x250 cm parasols, while a 50 kg base is recommended for windier areas. For smaller parasols (between 2 and 2.7 metres) used in more sheltered spaces, a 30 kg base will typically be sufficient.
The base must grip the pole securely—loose fittings or rust can cause instability. The Baser patented parasol base provides a firm, rust-resistant hold, built to perform in all types of UK weather.

Baser Centre Pole Garden Parasol
Hey there, shade lovers! Welcome to the world of Baser Centre Pole Parasols, where we're all about blending durability, quality, and a dash of style into your summer days. At Baser, we’re passionate about elevating your outdoor spaces, offering not just relief from the sun, but a stylish touch to your garden or terrace.
Why Choose a Baser Centre Pole Parasol?
The secret to long-lasting shade lies in the materials. Each Baser centre pole parasol features an aluminium frame—chosen for its rust resistance and flexibility compared to steel. Our frames are robust, with a minimum 1 mm rib thickness to ensure they withstand time and British weather.
But it’s not just the frame. The canopy fabric matters too. Baser uses solution-dyed acrylic, known for superior UV protection and colour retention. This material keeps your parasol looking vibrant and performing well, with a softer texture that outlasts plastic-like alternatives found in cheaper models.
Functionality Meets Style
A top-quality parasol should be functional as well as attractive. Baser’s Push parasols feature simple tilt and height adjustments, helping you track the sun and keep your seating area shaded all day. It's ideal for long afternoons outside without constantly moving your parasol.
Our Baser Supreme Crank is a game-changer—especially for older users or anyone who wants a no-fuss solution. Its strong crank system and convenient auto-tilt make adjusting your parasol effortless, ensuring shade and comfort are always close at hand.
Choosing the Right Size
Bigger isn’t always better. The most popular sizes for UK gardens and patios are 3 metres or 2.5x2.5 metres. These offer generous shade for outdoor dining and lounging, without being too vulnerable to wind.
For larger spaces like terraces or poolside areas, it's often wiser to choose a parasol with smart features rather than just size. A 3-metre parasol with tilt and height adjustment offers more usable shade than a less flexible 4-metre model.
Stability is Key
The right parasol base is essential. At Baser, we recommend a 40 kg base for a standard 3-metre parasol and a 50 kg base for windier conditions. For smaller sizes or sheltered areas, 30 kg is usually sufficient.
What sets Baser apart is our patented base design. Unlike traditional parasols that suffer from loose fittings or rust, our bases offer a secure and lasting hold—even when the wind picks up.
