Parasol VidaXL Roma offset black 286×285×265 cm aluminium frame

The VidaXL Roma offset parasol in black features a cantilever design with an aluminium frame and a large rectangular canopy measuring approximately 286×285×265 cm. Designed to provide shade for patios, gardens or outdoor seating areas, the parasol allows flexible placement beside tables, loungers or seating sets without a central pole getting in the way. Its aluminium frame offers a corrosion-resistant structure suitable for regular outdoor use under sun and light rain.

Advantages

The offset construction permits unobstructed coverage and easy positioning of the canopy over dining sets or lounge areas. The aluminium frame combines a lightweight feel with sufficient rigidity for stable support and reduced maintenance compared with untreated steel. The black canopy offers neutral aesthetics that integrate with various outdoor styles, while the large canopy area provides broad shade coverage for multiple seating configurations.

Suitable for

• Patios and terraces where side-mounted shade is preferred
• Garden seating areas and outdoor dining setups
• Poolside loungers where a clear central area is needed
• Commercial outdoor spaces with modular furniture arrangements

When it may not be suitable

This parasol is intended for sun protection and light rain; it is not designed as a waterproof shelter in heavy downpours or prolonged wet conditions. In very strong winds or storm conditions the cantilever design can be vulnerable unless the base is adequately weighted or the parasol is closed and secured. It may also require a compatible weighted base or anchoring system not included with the parasol.

Key specifications

• Canopy color: black
• Canopy shape and dimensions: offset rectangular canopy approximately 286×285×265 cm
• Frame material: aluminium
• Design type: cantilever / offset parasol
• Primary use: outdoor sun shading for patios, terraces and gardens

How to use

Position the parasol so the offset pole and base are located where they do not obstruct walkways or seating. Assemble the aluminium frame and canopy following the included instructions, making sure all joints and fastenings are tightened. If the parasol requires a separate base, choose a suitably rated weighted base or anchoring solution and install it per the base manufacturer’s guidelines. Adjust the canopy angle and height as needed to achieve the desired shade coverage, and always close and secure the canopy in strong wind or when the parasol is not in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Check available space and measurements to ensure the canopy covers the intended area without obstructing movement
• Plan for a compatible weighted base or anchoring solution; base may be sold separately
• Consider local weather conditions—protect or store the parasol during storms or prolonged rain
• Verify assembly requirements and whether help or tools are needed for installation

Usage recommendations

To prolong the life of the parasol, close it during heavy wind, remove any standing water from the canopy, and store the parasol or use a protective cover when not in use for extended periods. Regularly inspect frame fittings for looseness and clean the aluminium frame and canopy with mild soap and water.
