Summer is here, and it is the perfect season to spend and enjoy more time outdoors. The weather is nice for sunbathing, but sometimes the sun can destroy your skin. This is enough evidence for you to want to own a parasol. They are perfect for creating shade anywhere they stand.

They are just giant umbrellas meant to stay and provide shade in one area. This article will highlight the different types of parasols, how to choose them, and the additional accessories you will require when setting them up.

Types of Parasol(s)

The following are the different designs of parasols that exist:

Upright sunshades

This is the most popular model of parasol(s). It can have a round, rectangular, or square canopy erected on a fixed pole made from wood or aluminum.

Tilting parasol(s)

This model resembles the upright parasol but has an adjustable pole and a tilting canopy. This umbrella’s canopy can shift as the sun moves across the sky.

Cantilever parasol(s)

This is the newest design and is mounted on the side of the table instead of the center. Its canopy can span up to three to four meters up and is made from polyester. 

Telescopic (parasol)

This model is unique, having a centered mast made from two separate poles having two different diameters. One slides from the other to make its height adjustable. These parasol(s) can also be categorized according to their uses. For example, there are commercial, garden, and wall parasol(s).
