If your outdoor space could benefit from additional shade, Dunelm has a stylish parasol available for under £60. The 2.7M Tilt and Crank Parasol with Wooden Effect Pole features a freestanding wood grain effect pole complemented by a black and white striped canopy.
Equipped with a crank for straightforward opening, the parasol includes a tilt function for flexible coverage, enabling you to maintain shade as the sun travels across the sky. The retailer states that ‘eight sturdy ribs provide reliable support’, though it’s important to note that a weight is necessary for stability.
The parasol’s dimensions are: H 246cm x W 261cm x D 261cm, making it appropriate for covering compact bistro sets and sun loungers. It arrives partially assembled, with certain components requiring fitting together.

One satisfied customer commented: ” Very sturdy product . Attractive design and good quality fabric!”
Another purchaser remarked: ” Cool striped parasol , good size”, reports the Liverpool Echo.
However, they did observe: “Deducted one star as it was poorly finished with lots of loose threads, hoping it doesn’t fray.” This may be worth keeping in mind.
As an alternative, Argos stocks the Habitat 2.5m Overhanging Garden Parasol – Black , which is generously sized and can be positioned over various items from a table to sun loungers or even a hot tub.
The parasol retails at £100, though customers will require a separate base for stability. Argos has this quarter for £25 .
For those seeking a complete outdoor dining solution, Argos is offering the Sicily 4 Seater Metal Patio Set – Grey, which includes four stackable chairs, a round glass-topped table, and a coordinating parasol.

Originally retailing at £180, it’s currently on offer for £90, delivering a 50% discount. Topping the best-seller list on the Argos website, the Sicily patio set has received positive feedback for its comfort and practicality, though buyers should be aware that a parasol base isn’t part of the package.
Constructed from steel and fabric, the set is designed to withstand the weather outdoors, although it’s recommended to store it away when not being used during winter. Assembly required is minimal, involving a simple fitting together of the parasol.
