In the Shade of a Parasol at Christian's Outside Office
You're not alone— many people, just like you, feel frustrated with parasols that fail to deliver or are difficult to use.
Maybe you’ve had to toss out more than one parasol in your search for something that actually lasts. Or perhaps you’ve nearly given up on finding one that keeps its colour for more than a single season—without ending up with faded, zebra-like stripes or annoying creaking noises in the wind.
Then there are the common frustrations—cracked ribs, flimsy tilt mechanisms, and handles that break after a few uses. Every time, it feels like you’re paying a premium for poor quality.
And next summer? Another £150 on a new parasol because last season's just didn’t hold up.
Does this sound familiar?
If any of this sounds familiar, then you’re exactly who we had in mind when creating the Baser parasol and cantilever parasol.
Like you, I grew tired of seeing parasols that couldn’t survive a single season. Whether it was broken frames or faded fabric, the search for a durable, stylish, and reliable parasol felt endless.
With this frustration in mind, I set out to create a parasol that finally checks all the boxes:
- Built to Last: Baser parasols are designed to handle sun, wind, and rain without breaking or fading.
- Effortless Shade: Enjoy perfect shade that’s easy to adjust and simple to use.
- Timeless Design: A sleek, minimalist look that complements any outdoor space—all at a fair price.
So, if you’re looking for a parasol that can handle everything summer throws its way, with fabric that maintains its colour and quality season after season—look no further than a Baser parasol.

But I could get 3 of the cheap parasols
We’re always completely honest at Baser – so yes, a Baser parasol is more expensive than the cheap parasols and cantilever parasols out there.
And yes, all parasols may look a bit alike – so what’s the big difference? The difference is real.
Because you’ll end up with parasols that feel unstable, creak and squeak in the wind, with a level of quality that looks questionable from the start.
And you’ll quickly notice that the fabric fades in the sun and doesn’t offer the UV protection you or your family need.
Or the so-called "fantastic" crank breaks, and no matter how much you try turning the handle, the parasol simply won’t go up or down.
Until the cord snaps—and then you can’t return the parasol because the seller claims YOU BROKE IT. Completely ridiculous.
So yes, a Baser parasol or cantilever parasol may cost more – but you’ll actually be happy with it. Guaranteed.
And that’s because our parasols last.
Forget about rust, broken ribs or DIY patch jobs when the cheap parasol fails again.
Baser offers the best parasol for summer – at a great price and with the quality you expect.
Plus, we offer an unbelievable "we’ll buy it back if you’re not satisfied" guarantee!
Yes, we’ll buy back your Baser parasol—and yes, I’ll even cover the return shipping if you don’t feel the Baser parasol is right for you.
You can read the full guarantee below. And honestly, if there’s ever a problem, just email Christian(@)mybaser.co.uk and we’ll sort it out.
But I’m confident you’ll be genuinely pleased with your Baser parasol – it’s every bit as brilliant as our Baser parasol base, and our customers love it 😄

Is There Really Such a Big Difference?
Yes.
The cheap parasol loses its colour after just one season, fading from its beautiful charcoal to a dull, striped look.
The crank creaks and struggles to open fully, often getting stuck at three-quarters open.
And that "premium" cantilever parasol you bought three years ago? One rib, thin as a soft drink can, has snapped. After hours of trying to repair it, you realise it’s beyond saving.
That’s how most reviews of cheap parasols sound—and they’re everywhere:
The fabric on cheap parasols fades quickly, turning this charcoal parasol into a washed-out purple with stripes.
0.1 mm – THAT'S HOW THIN the ribs are on cheap parasols.
The thickness is comparable to that of a soft drink can.
This Is Exactly What We've Solved
Not by just covering up flaws but by building a high-quality parasol from the ground up. We've focused on premium aluminium frames and fabrics for lasting durability.
Whether you need a quality parasol for your garden or a sturdy beach parasol, we’ve got you covered.
So, It’s Really, Really Good.
A Baser parasol isn’t just heavy-duty against the wind; it’s built with solid 100% aluminium frames and thick ribs for unbeatable strength. No rust, no breakage, no worries.
Original Push & Original Crank parasols come with our strong Certus™ frame, featuring 8 ribs and extra-durable rib construction.
As for the fabric? Only the best parasol material, dyed throughout to hold its colour and provide UV protection. We avoid low-grade, surface-dyed fabrics typical on cheaper parasols. For the Original line, we use our ReSun™ fabric, a tough, 250 g/m² solution-dyed polyester made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.
If you want the ultimate parasol, check out our Supreme Push or Supreme Crank parasols. They feature our Certus+™ frame with 8 arms for enhanced durability and use the best Velius acrylic fabric at 260 g/m² solution-dyed—matching or even surpassing top brands like Sunbrella.
With easy adjustments for tilt and height or a smooth auto-tilt feature, finding the perfect shade is effortless with a Baser parasol.
Our Original Cantilever Parasol tilts and rotates 360 degrees, giving you shade exactly where you need it. Featuring the sturdy Ventus™ frame, it offers reinforced stability to stand firm against the wind.
Part of our Original line, it comes with ReSun™ fabric to deliver essential UV protection and colourfastness, perfect for most outdoor spaces.
If you’re looking for even more control and durability, our Supreme Cantilever Parasol offers left and right tilt, 360-degree rotation, and versatile shade adjustments throughout the day.
As the ultimate cantilever parasol, it boasts all our best features, so you can create just the right amount of shade. Built with the VentusMax+™ frame for unmatched strength and extra-thick materials, it ensures stability in any weather.
With Velius Acrylic™ fabric, this parasol provides the highest level of UV protection and colour retention, keeping its vibrant look for years.
All in all, our parasols are of extremely high quality and also at a fair price.
I would NEVER sell a parasol I wouldn’t use in my own garden.
And with a rating of 4.8 stars out of 5, our customers agree—quality, product, and service are top-notch. 😉

They deliver exactly what a parasol or cantilever parasol should, allowing you to enjoy a cosy summer lunch or a relaxed barbecue evening.
Baser parasols feature a thick, durable frame and the best outdoor fabric. Plus, they offer easy tilting, rotation, and adjustable height for maximum convenience.

Don’t waste money on another cheap parasol that lasts only one or two summers.
What Size Parasol Do I Need?
Choosing the Right Size for Optimal Shade
Choosing the right parasol size depends on the space you want to shade. For dining tables or lounge areas, a 2.7–3 metre parasol often provides enough coverage for tables seating 4–6 people. If you have a larger area or want maximum shade, consider a 3x3 metre cantilever parasol.
At Baser, we recommend selecting a smaller, well-designed parasol over an oversized one that may be awkward to open and unstable in the wind. Remember, a parasol with tilt and height adjustment allows you to get the most flexible shade all day without needing a larger size.
How Do I Keep My Parasol from Tipping Over?
Securing Your Parasol in Windy Conditions
To prevent tipping, it’s essential to choose a stable parasol base. For smaller parasols (2.5 metres or less), a 30 kg base may suffice. Larger parasols (3 metres or more) generally need a 40–50 kg base, especially in windy areas. In very exposed locations, such as rooftops or open spaces, consider a Baser parasol base with sandbags, which adds extra weight and stability.
Baser’s unique design, free from wobbly poles and rust-prone parts, provides a firm hold in all conditions. Our sandbags & bases are easy to move while offering the solid support needed to keep your parasol steady.
What to Look for in a Quality Parasol
Avoid Common Mistakes When Choosing Your Parasol
To ensure long-lasting shade, avoid parasols with flimsy frames, wobbly connections, and thin, fade-prone fabric. These common issues often result in a short lifespan and poor performance, especially in unpredictable British weather.
Look for parasols with sturdy frames and durable fabrics that can withstand the elements. High-quality materials and thoughtful design mean your parasol will stay functional and look stylish for years to come.
What Is the Best Material for a Parasol?
Materials That Last in British Weather
For the frame, aluminium or fibreglass are excellent options—they’re rust-resistant and sturdy, with fibreglass offering extra flexibility in windy conditions. For the canopy, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics, such as Sunbrella®, are ideal for colour retention and UV protection. Sunbrella is one of the most trusted fabric brands globally for parasols, known for its quality but often comes with a higher price tag.
At Baser, we’ve developed our own acrylic fabric called Velius™. It delivers the same exceptional quality at a more accessible price, making it a fantastic alternative.
Baser’s ReSun™ fabric, crafted from 100% GRS-certified recycled plastic bottles, offers superior durability, vibrant colours, and over 98% UV protection. With Baser’s eco-friendly materials, you can enjoy a parasol that’s both reliable and sustainable.
While some manufacturers promote steel frames, it’s important to note that steel is heavier and more susceptible to rust, especially in outdoor environments. Even worse, some parasols combine steel and aluminium, which can accelerate corrosion. For lasting durability, Baser recommends aluminium or fibreglass frames for their strength and rust-resistance.
How Do I Clean and Maintain a Parasol?
Keeping Your Parasol Looking Its Best
To keep your parasol in great condition, regular cleaning and proper protection are key. Start with mild soap and water, gently scrubbing away dirt with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, as these can weaken the fabric over time.
When your parasol isn’t in use, a protective cover is the best way to shield it from sun, rain, and dust. Baser’s double-layer parasol cover provides superior protection, guarding your parasol against UV rays and moisture to extend its life and keep it looking vibrant.
Our double-layer design promotes airflow while keeping moisture out, helping to prevent mould and mildew. During the off-season, store your parasol in a dry, covered area, ensuring it’s completely dry before covering to avoid mildew buildup. With Baser’s parasol cover and these easy maintenance steps, your parasol will stay in top shape season after season.

Exceptional Durability and Design
Crafted with premium materials like aluminium, fibreglass, and steel, all treated for durability, Baser parasols pair strength with timeless style. Our use of solution-dyed fabric ensures long-lasting performance and UV resistance.

Choosing Your Parasol: Quality Matters
When selecting a parasol, opt for quality materials like aluminium for rust resistance. Thick, solution-dyed fabric ensures superior UV protection. Check out our guide for more details on what to look for in a parasol.
Features for Shade Control
Tilt and height adjustments are must-haves for flexible shade. For cantilevers, seek 360-degree rotation and side tilts. Consider what size parasol suits your needs; large parasols aren’t always best in windy conditions.
Getting the Right Weight and Base
Stabilising your parasol with the proper base and weight ensures shade without interruption, even on gusty days. Baser’s sandbags for cantilevers provide stability. For centre-pole parasols, the Baser Original Parasol Base offers reliable support with optimal balance.
