CHRISTOW Tilting Garden Parasol Umbrella UV Protective Polyester Canopy With Crank Handle

Quality product ....Easy to use . Great price ...Remember to order base sold seperate

Parasol is nice and large and gives plenty of shade. Would recommend

This is good value with a sturdy central support and winding gear . The fabric seems to be of good quality and gives a good amount of coverage.

I first purchased one of these (27/04/20) and was extremely impressed with the quality. I am 60 years old and have purchased many different ones over the years....this was the best!!! The parasol material was a cream colour and very strong canvas material. The crank handle was also been extremely sturdy. It has been in my garden (exposed and with no cover) for nearly 18 months and showed no sign of wear or discoloration. Last Sunday I had inadvertently left the parasol open and was upset to find a gust of wind had got under it, blown it over taking my glass table with it and completely snapping the main pole. No one at fault but myself. So I got straight online and pressed "Buy Again" I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED when it arrive today. NOTING LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONE. It is a lot lighter (in weight), the material of the parasol is much like plastic, it is very yellow in colour and the the crank is quite flimsy. UNFORTUNATELY I cannot return it because I have to use it today, but doubt that I will buy another one when needed🤔😔 UPDATE:- I received a call from this company within days of posting my review. They offered to collect BOTH parasols and replace them or refund me in full (even though the breakage of the first one was entirely my fault). The staff could not have been more helpful (Thank you Lucy). As I explained I had to use the second one, but they have assured me that if I am not happy with it I only have to get in touch with them. You can email this company or if you are like me and wish to speak in person, their response time on the phone is immediate. CUSTOMER SERVICE...OUTSTANDING! And because of this I retract my original statement and will DEFINITELY USE THIS COMPANY again for further purchases😊.

These parasols are lightweight, easy to remove and store daily and so far they appear to be sturdy on our windy beachside location . They do lift out of the bases when the wind gets beneath them, but that’s not the fault of the parasol, but our windy location so we have bolted them into their bases and they are doing really well in a challenging environment. It has been difficult to find parasols with a post that splits easily and tops that are lightweight enough for our staff to bring them inside daily and these have served our purpose perfectly. They look good . We started with 10 and we were so pleased with them we have ordered more. The delivery was really quick and they take minimal work to erect. Just remove packaging, slot parasol top onto the bottom pole and they are ready.

Love this, navy colour is beautiful, and stands up to winds. The tilt mechanism is ideal to follow the sun.

My last patio umbrella was a disaster. Rubbish stitching, weak spars, it soon broke. So, I bought this one with a sigh, but hoping it would be better. And so far, I have not been disappointed. The fabric seems to be totally waterproof, which is handy if you are leaving up in the rain. It has a parachute flap at the top which lets air out if there's a gust of wind, making it less likely to topple over or worse, take off. I should add that it is anchored to a very sturdy base that I bought seperately - don't stint on a good heavy base or you'll regret it - and that I do not leave it up when the weather turns too windy. That is asking for trouble, patio umbrellas are *not* storm proof. In bright sunlight you will not get 100% shade, some of the light does penetrate the fabric, but not enough to be bothersome. It is very easy to erect using the 'winder' handle, and the stitching on the fabric where the spars are held in place looks good. It does not have a 'tie' to hold the umbrella fabric in place when it is down, however, I have an old cover from my last umbrella which I slide on to protect it in foul weather. (worth getting one for the winter unless you put the umbrella in the shed) I'd say so far, so good, but as with all garden products the trick is to see how many seasons it lasts!

Fabulous Fabulous colour Sturdy Value for money Looks good in the garden
