About this product
Imagine settling into your garden with a book and a cold drink, knowing you've got proper shade sorted without blocking the middle of your table. That's what the Habitat overhanging garden parasol does brilliantly. It hangs over from the side rather than planting itself centre-stage. Your garden table stays clear for lunches and drinks. Loungers get covered without awkward shuffling. Even your hot tub gets shade on scorching days. The cream colour keeps things fresh and bright.
The crank action means you'll open and close it without wrestling. Water repellent fabric handles summer showers while you dash inside. Metal frame gives you sturdy support through breezy afternoons. The overhanging design means flexibility - move it where you need coverage most. You'll need a base to keep it stable, which you can grab separately. It comes with a manufacturer's year guarantee for peace of mind.

Customers Say
Good quality and value parasol, easy to assemble with great coverage. Needs separate heavy bases for stability and lacks rotation and tilt features. Some find it cumbersome and base weights costly.

Great design
Beautiful and easy to assemble. Great delivery and service. No complaints whatsoever. It even tilts which is a major bonus in a South facing garden

Quite flimsy connection for such a heavy parasol I’ve the black though and a good size for our garden.

Enjoying the Sun in the Shade
Brought this over the weekend due to the impending heatwave and having young children. Easy to assemble, took just a few minutes. Great colour - will match with any garden. Great coverage.

Not worth the money
I bought this recently, without realising you have to spend another £100 to buy the bases for it, which are sold separately. This is what stops it falling over. Lady on customer service said it was my fault for not reading the description properly. The bases are also completely unavailable to buy either in store or online.

No UV protection
I bought this to for shade in the garden but it doesn’t provide any UV protection. I had to buy UV fabric protection spray separately.

Hello Katie,
Regarding your recent query about the Habitat 2.5m Overhanging Garden Parasol - Black.
I can confirm to stabilize this parasol, you require a minimum of 50 kg to 60 kg of total ballast weight distributed across its metal cross-base.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hey Suey,
Thanks for getting in touch with us, Please follow these steps.
First, unlock the parasol by releasing the locking handle on the side of the main pole. Then, slide the securing collar up to allow the support arm to move freely.
Next, wind the canopy closed by turning the crank handle in the opposite direction to the one used to open it. Finally, secure the parasol by pushing the locking handle back towards the pole, ensuring it's locked in place.
Thanks for using Q&A.

Hello there,
Habitat 2.5m Overhanging Garden Parasol - Black
To return the Parasol to an upright position, you'll need to reverse the actions taken to open it. First, unlock the parasol by releasing the locking handle on the side of the main pole. Then, slide the securing collar up to allow the support arm to move freely. Next, wind the canopy closed by turning the crank handle in the opposite direction to the one used to open it. Finally, secure the parasol by pushing the locking handle back towards the pole, ensuring it's locked in place.
Thanks for using Q&A
