About this product
Your garden's calling for shade that looks the part. This Habitat square parasol delivers cool grey style suited to modern outdoor spaces. It's big enough to shelter your table and chairs from bright sunshine. Picture lazy weekend lunches stretching into the afternoon without anyone squinting or shifting seats. The contemporary square canopy makes a statement on patios and decking. When the sun moves, reach for the crank handle and open it in seconds. No fuss, no wrestling with tricky mechanisms. Rain won't ruin plans, the water-repellent fabric shrugs off light showers so you can stay put.
The crank action means smooth, simple opening every time you use it. The steel pole gives you sturdy support through summer breezes. Water repellent fabric keeps you dry when clouds roll in unexpectedly. Cool grey colour blends beautifully with garden furniture and outdoor cushions. That square shape creates generous coverage without hogging space. It folds down neatly when you're done for the day. Built to handle British weather's mood swings. Manufacturer's 1 year guarantee included for peace of mind.

Customers Say
Stylish, sturdy square parasol with good shade coverage and easy crank mechanism. Lacks tilt function and tie for securing when closed. Quality varies; some find fabric and stability less durable.

A 50/50 purchase
I bought this parasol two weeks ago but have been disappointed with its performance in that it revolves when there is a breeze blowing. As the shape of the opened parasol is square, when it revolves it allows bright sunlight to shine down onto the table and chairs. However, the winding mechanism is very good and is clearly marked which way the handle should be turned to open and close, which is an excellent feature and avoids ovetturning and possibly breaking the handle.

Stability good. Would have welcomed a tilt function

Great Item
It’s stylish, good shade coverage and has a wind up mechanism to open and close the parasol. Great price and easy to set up/use.

Parasols for Piggies
I bought this Habitat Square garden parasol, Grey, this week, it was delivered to me on time, and I am very happy with it, it provides plenty of shade and is tall enough to stand under it while I feed the guinea pigs. Its easy to open up with a crank handle and looks the business. Sadly I will have to buy some more parasols because our eight guinea pigs need as much shade as possible in this heat wave and the one parasol will only shade half of their big run and hutch. I was contemplating a gazebo but they take longer and more effort to erect. My only complaint is that the parasol bases were all sold out on the website, I had to buy one from B&Q and that took longer to arrive than the parasol did. The large leaning parasol would have been better for my guinea pigs but I couldn't buy the base and weights to go with it and as it would have been useless without them, I didn't buy it. Generally this parasol is stable, even just leant across the hutch with end of pole weighted using a concrete slab. It looks cool, and shades very well.

Easy to use
I bought two of these parasols to shield my living room from the direct sun - as they are square they fit flat against my wall, just above my bi-folding doors. The crank mechanism makes them quick and easy to put up and down.

Gray Parasol
Its bigger that I thought it would be which gave great coverage The grey really gives good fade. Whined up down handle and poles are good mechanism. Sturdy and strong. Ive bought a cover as ine isnt provided to keep rain of it.

Hello Loza,
No, the Habitat 2m Square Garden Parasol - Cream does not come with an official UV protection rating (such as UPF 50+).
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello there,
Habitat 2m Square Garden Parasol - Cream:
Yes, the base should work with this parasol.
Base 7428805 fits parasol poles up to 4.5cm diameter.
Parasol 3449589 has a pole diameter of 3.8cm.
So, the parasol pole is within the base's supported size range.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hello Magda,
Yes, Habitat 2m Square Garden Parasol - Cream can be used free standing, but it does need a parasol base, and it isn't self-supporting. The product also doesn't come with a base, so that would need to be bought separately.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello there,
Thank you for your query regarding the Habitat 2m Square Garden Parasol - Cream.
Yes, it is recommended to secure the product with a suitable weighted base, especially in windy conditions, to prevent tipping or damage.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Nic,
The supplier has advised the following for the Habitat 2m Square Garden Parasol - Grey:
The parasol pole is 3.8 cm in diameter, so we would recommend choosing a parasol base that is compatible with a 3.8 cm pole. For example, Argos Home Decorative Parasol Base - Black (784/4719) and Argos Home Concrete Parasol Base - Black (742/8805) are both compatible.
Thanks for using Q&A

I can advise that this catalogue number is the parasol alone, the base is not included and this has to be purchased separately.
I hope this information helps, and thanks for using Q&A.
