Parasol cantilever VidaXL 294×200×254 cm Blue

The Parasol cantilever VidaXL 294×200×254 cm Blue is a side-pole outdoor umbrella designed to provide shade over terraces, patios and garden seating areas without a central pole. Its rectangular blue canopy measures approximately 294 × 200 cm and reaches a peak height near 254 cm, offering wide sun protection while keeping the seating area free of obstructions. The offset pole allows flexible placement of furniture beneath the canopy, and the parasol is intended for outdoor use where adjustable shade and a rotatable or tilting canopy are useful.

Advantages

This cantilever parasol delivers large, unobstructed shaded coverage with a side-mounted pole that keeps the center area clear for chairs, tables or lounge furniture. The blue canopy provides visual contrast in outdoor spaces while helping to reduce direct sunlight. Typical functional benefits include an adjustable canopy angle and the ability to rotate the shade to follow the sun, enabling targeted protection throughout the day. The design is suitable for integration with a separate heavy base or mounting system to ensure stability in exposed conditions.

Suitable for

• Shading outdoor dining sets on terraces and patios
• Covering lounge furniture in gardens and poolside areas
• Providing adjustable sun protection for cafés or small outdoor hospitality areas
• Places where a central pole would obstruct seating or table arrangements

When it may not be suitable

This cantilever umbrella requires a stable, compatible base or mounting solution that is not included; without an appropriate base it will not be safe for use in windy or exposed locations. It may not be suitable for very small balconies or spaces where the offset pole and canopy footprint cannot be accommodated. For permanent, high-wind installations a more robust, fixed canopy or professional installation may be preferable.

How to use

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have or plan for a compatible heavy base or mounting solution; base is not included
• Measure available outdoor space to confirm the offset pole and canopy footprint will fit
• Consider typical local wind and weather conditions and whether additional anchoring or a fixed solution is needed
• Check that the blue canopy colour and rectangular shape suit your outdoor layout and furniture arrangement

Usage recommendations

To extend product life and maintain safe use, close and secure the canopy in strong winds, during storms or when not in use for long periods. Use a base with adequate weight and follow manufacturer guidance for assembly and anchoring. Regularly inspect the frame, joints and canopy fabric for wear and repair or replace parts as needed.
