Parasol with Side Pole VidaXL 372 x 198 x 253 cm – sand-colored outdoor umbrella

The VidaXL sand-coloured side-pole parasol measures 372 x 198 x 253 cm and provides a large shaded area using a cantilever/offset design. The lateral support pole keeps the central space free of obstructions, making the umbrella suitable for shading seating, dining sets or loungers on patios, terraces and poolside areas. The neutral sand fabric integrates with many outdoor styles while the adjustable tilt and rotating canopy options allow targeting of shade throughout the day.

Advantages

The offset construction delivers unobstructed shade beneath the canopy while the robust side pole and frame offer stable support. The wide rectangular coverage provides sun protection for multiple seats or a dining table. The sand-coloured fabric is fade-resistant and blends with garden and terrace décor. The parasol’s tilt and rotation features increase versatility for changing sun angles and use cases.

Suitable for

• Shading patio seating areas and outdoor dining sets
• Covering loungers and poolside relaxation zones
• Providing shade in small commercial terraces or café seating
• Creating a shaded play area for children in a backyard

When it may not be suitable

This parasol is designed for outdoor leisure shading and is not a structural shelter against heavy rain or wind. It may not be suitable for extremely exposed locations without additional anchoring or a sheltered base, and in very strong winds it should be folded and secured to prevent damage.

How to use

Position the parasol on a flat, stable surface and secure the base according to the provided instructions or using a compatible weighted base. Open the canopy by operating the opening mechanism until the fabric is taut and engage the tilt or rotation to direct shade where required. When not in use or during adverse weather, close the canopy and lock or secure it to prevent movement. Regularly check fixings and fabric for wear and clean the canopy with mild soap and water as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm available floor or base space to accommodate the offset pole and canopy dimensions
• Decide on a compatible heavy base or anchoring solution suitable for local weather conditions
• Assess whether the sand colour matches existing outdoor furniture and surface materials
• Consider storage or a protective cover for winter or prolonged non-use

Usage recommendations

Use a dedicated weighted base designed for offset parasols and close the canopy in strong winds or storms. Clean the sand-coloured fabric periodically with a soft brush and mild detergent to maintain appearance and check mechanical parts annually for smooth operation.
