The Purple Leaf 300 cm Cantilever Parasol delivers generous round shade with a sleek modern design. Its infinite tilt and 360-degree rotation let you track the sun throughout the day, while the durable Sunbrella-grade fabric ensures it won't fade through years of Costa Blanca summers.
Schneider Rhodos Grande 400x300 Cantilever Parasol
The Schneider Rhodos Grande Cantilever Parasol provides a massive 400 x 300 cm shade area — enough to cover a full dining set or lounge zone. Its cantilever arm keeps the base out of the way while the crank mechanism makes opening and tilting effortless, even in the intense Costa Blanca sun.
The Sekey Triangular Shade Sail covers a huge 5 × 5 × 5 m area at an unbeatable price, making it the most cost-effective way to create shade on your Costa Blanca terrace, patio, or garden. Its breathable HDPE fabric blocks up to 95% of UV rays while still allowing air to circulate.
What type of parasol is best for the Costa Blanca?
Cantilever (offset) parasols are the most versatile — they tilt and rotate to follow the sun without a centre pole blocking your table. Choose a model with a minimum 50 kg base for wind stability. For commercial or exposed terraces, we recommend wind-vented canopies that release pressure during gusts.
How big should my garden parasol be?
For a 4-person dining table, choose a 2.5-3m parasol. For a 6-8 person table or lounge area, go for 3.5-4m. Rectangular parasols cover more usable space than round ones. On the Costa Blanca, we recommend oversized parasols — the midday sun is almost directly overhead in summer.
Do parasols protect against UV on the Costa Blanca?
Quality parasols with UPF 50+ fabric block over 98% of UV radiation. This is essential on the Costa Blanca where the UV index reaches 9-10+ in summer. Look for solution-dyed acrylic fabric — it resists fading and maintains UV protection far longer than polyester.
How do I secure a parasol on a windy Costa Blanca terrace?
Use a weighted base of at least 50 kg (granite or water-filled). For cantilever parasols, 80-100 kg is safer. On tiled terraces, bolt-down plate adapters offer the most stability. Always close your parasol when not in use — sudden gusts are common along the coast.
