The VidaXL Parasol with Side Pole (model 42003380) in azure blue is a cantilever garden umbrella designed to provide adjustable shade for terraces, patios and poolside areas. Its side-mounted pole keeps the area beneath the canopy free from obstructions, while the crank and lock mechanism allow for controlled opening and fixing of the canopy position. The canopy fabric and frame are intended for outdoor use and offer practical protection from sun exposure during daytime activities.
Advantages
This parasol offers unobstructed shaded area thanks to its side pole design, making it suitable for positioning over dining sets, loungers or seating groups. The crank handle simplifies opening and closing the canopy, and the lock mechanism secures the canopy in the chosen position. The azure blue canopy adds a neutral-coloured option for outdoor décor and helps reduce direct sunlight on covered surfaces.
Suitable for
- Shading patio dining tables and chairs
- Providing cover for poolside loungers
- Creating shaded seating areas at cafes or small restaurants
- Residential garden terraces and outdoor entertaining spaces
When it may not be suitable
This parasol is designed for sun shading and light weather protection but is not a solution for severe weather, strong winds or heavy rain. If you need a permanent or windproof canopy structure, a fixed gazebo or a professionally rated windproof umbrella would be more appropriate.
Key specifications
- Canopy colour: azure blue
- Mounting: side-mounted (cantilever) pole for unobstructed coverage
- Operation: crank handle for opening and closing
- Locking: integrated lock mechanism to secure canopy position
- Typical use: outdoor terraces, patios and poolside areas
How to use
Place the parasol base or mounting plate on a level surface suitable for cantilever support and ensure it is securely fixed according to local conditions and the manufacturer’s instructions. Use the crank handle to open the canopy until it reaches the desired angle and engage the lock mechanism to hold the canopy in place. Adjust the orientation of the cantilever arm to provide optimal shade coverage. Close the canopy with the crank when not in use and engage the lock for storage or transport.
What to consider before purchase
- Available space and mounting requirements for a side-mounted (cantilever) pole
- Need for a suitable, stable base or mounting point to support the cantilever design
- Intended exposure to wind and weather at the installation site
- Colour preference and compatibility with existing outdoor décor
Usage recommendations
For longer product life, close and lock the canopy during strong winds or prolonged rain, and use an appropriate heavy base or secure mounting system to prevent tipping. Regularly inspect fittings and the crank mechanism for wear and tighten connections as needed.
