One of the coolest new umbrella products these days is the offset or cantilever umbrella. This one differs from others in that, despite having a pole in the middle, it is held up by a strong pole on the side and a rotating arm attached to the “skin” of the umbrella. This allows you to enjoy the entire shaded area of the screen without any problems. Also, users can easily rotate the shade as the sun moves to continue providing shade without having to move a heavy base.
Advantage
Some models also have a tilt and lock function, so the possibilities for creating shade are almost limitless.
It is a must for the pool area. You can also use them in the water. Another benefit is that it can be used to shade a patio table without the need for a hole in the center of the table. Then everyone sitting at the table has a clear view of everyone else.
Factors to consider
If you are planning to buy a parasol or cantilever parasol, you need to pay attention to the following things
Most of the time, manufacturers do not recommend these large umbrellas (10ft – 11ft diameter) for use in windy situations. While they are usually well constructed, their construction makes them susceptible to swaying in strong winds.
Heavy bases are required for sufficient stability.
The third consideration is price. A good 11 feet. A cantilever umbrella can cost three times as much as a similar sized crank and tilt market umbrella.
