Parasols

Want to make the most of your time in the garden? Then a parasol is essential. At Boender Outdoor you'll find an extensive range of parasols for every garden, terrace and budget. Whether you're looking for a compact pole parasol for the balcony or a large cantilever parasol above your lounge set — we have the perfect parasol to combine shade and atmosphere.

Why a parasol is essential

A parasol not only protects you from the sun, but also turns your outdoor space into a place where you can relax all day. Modern parasols offer excellent UV protection, are easy to operate and give your garden a stylish appearance. Whether you're enjoying lunch at your garden set, relaxing in your lounge set or reading a book on your sun lounger — with the right parasol you can enjoy the sun comfortably and safely.

• Protection against harmful UV radiation (up to UPF 50+)
• Create a cool, shaded spot in your garden
• Enhance the atmosphere and look of your outdoor space
• Many operating options: tilting, rotating and adjustable height
• Durable materials that last for years

Types of parasols at Boender Outdoor

We offer parasols in different types, sizes and materials from top brands such as Platinum, Garden Impressions, Madison and our own brand Boender Outdoor.

Pole parasol

The classic pole parasol is the most well-known parasol design. The mast is in the centre and on many models passes through the hole in the table. Pole parasols are compact, lightweight and often come with a tilting function for optimal shade. Ideal for smaller terraces, balconies and next to the sun lounger.

Cantilever parasol

A cantilever parasol has the arm on the side, giving you complete freedom of movement under the canopy. No central pole in the way — perfect to hang above a dining table or dining lounge set. Many models are 360° rotatable and tiltable. View our full range of cantilever parasols in various sizes.

Commercial parasols

Sturdy and large, ideal for terraces and professional use. Commercial parasols are designed for intensive daily use and are available in extra-large sizes.

Balcony parasols

Specially designed for small outdoor spaces. These compact parasols take up little room but still provide plenty of shade. Perfect combined with a bistro or balcony set.

Parasols by size

The size of your parasol depends on the area you want to shade. Choose the right size for your situation:

• Up to 3 metres — suitable for a 2 to 4-person table or a sun lounger
• 3 to 3.5 metres — ideal for a 4-person garden set or compact lounge set
• 3.5 metres or larger — perfect for a 6-person or 8-person garden set
• Large parasols — for those who want maximum shade

View our cantilever parasols in specific sizes: 300x300 cm, 350x350 cm, 400x400 cm or round Ø300 cm and Ø400 cm.

Parasols by colour

The colour of your parasol sets the mood on your terrace. At Boender Outdoor you'll find parasols in popular colours:

• Anthracite parasols — modern and versatile
• Black parasols — bold and elegant
• Grey parasols — calm and stylish
• White parasols — fresh and light, perfect for an Ibiza-style garden
• Beige parasols — warm and natural, matches teak garden furniture

Parasol canopy materials

The canopy is crucial for the lifespan, UV protection and appearance of your parasol. There are three commonly used canopy types:

• Polyester — affordable, wrinkle-free and with a UPF of 15–50. Ideal as an entry-level model
• Solefin — colour-fast, stain-resistant and UPF 40–50. Maintains its appearance for years
• Spuncrylic — the premium material: water-repellent, UPF 50+, extremely colour-fast and luxurious in appearance

Always protect your canopy with a parasol cover when you're not using the parasol for a long time. View all our protective covers for parasols and garden furniture.

Choosing the right parasol base

A good parasol base is essential for safety and stability. The rules of thumb:

• Pole parasol: 10–15 kg per metre of canopy diameter. A 3-metre parasol therefore requires at least 30–45 kg
• Cantilever parasol: minimum 60–80 kg, for models larger than 3.5 metres even 100+ kg
• Want flexibility? Choose a mobile parasol base on wheels
• A ground-mounted parasol base provides the strongest anchoring and keeps your terrace clear
• A cross base is ideal for cantilever parasols and easy to move

Also check out our parasols including base if you want to order a complete set, or choose a parasol without base if you already have a base.
