Create a dramatic, luxury-resort canopy over your patio lounge setup with our Grand 3.5M Cantilever Parasol. Engineered with a side-mounted overhead suspension arm, this premium freestanding umbrella provides an expansive zone of unobstructed shade without a central pole breaking up your seating configuration—making it the ultimate cooling solution for large modular corner sofas, dining sets, and poolside loungers. High-Performance Features Expansive Obstruction-Free Coverage: Spans a massive 3.5 meters to maximize usable floor space below, allowing you to position dining tables and deep-seating sectionals perfectly without pole constraints. Heavy-Duty Weather Shell: Crafted from premium, ultra-thick polyester canvas in a sophisticated charcoal/dark grey tone that delivers superior UV defense and excellent showerproof performance. Ergonomic Crank & Tilt Function: Outfitted with a heavy-duty mechanical hand crank and an intuitive glide-handle tracking system, letting you open, close, or tilt the angle of the canopy effortlessly to block the sun as it moves throughout the afternoon. Robust Architectural Frame: Supported by a resilient, rust-proof powder-coated aluminum mast and high-tensile ribs, providing structural integrity against twisting and wind stress. Product Specifications Size Span: 3.5 Meter Diameter (Extra Large Overhanging Canopy) Canopy Color: Premium Dark Grey / Charcoal Anthracite Mechanism Profile: Side-Post Cantilever System with Smooth-Glide Hand Crank Ventilation: Integrated double-tiered wind vent at the apex to diffuse uplifting drafts Safety & Structural Base Advice Crucial Base Weight Requirement: Due to the substantial, overhanging scale of a 3.5m cantilever parasol, the standard cross-metal foot frame must be securely anchored using heavy slab weights, water/sand-filled cantilever base modules, or bolted directly into solid decking. Never attempt to expand the canopy without adequate foundational counterweights in place. Wind & Longevity Protocol: Always collapse and safely secure the umbrella canopy down against the main mast during windy days, stiff summer gusts, or stormy downpours. Protect the dark grey textile fibers from winter frost by zipping a waterproof protective parasol cover over the unit when not in use.
