Before you choose
Measure your table. Check the hole diameter and base. Think about when you want shade and how much room there is for the canopy to open.
Our buyer’s guide for wooden garden parasols
A good fit starts with three things: the shade you need, the support beneath the pole and a place to store your parasol when the weather changes. Here is where to begin.
1) Size it for people
A wooden garden parasol should comfortably shade shoulders and seating space. Measure the table and seating area, then consider where the shade falls at the time of day you use it.
2) Check the support
Check the pole diameter, table opening and base together. We recommend a suitable base and support through a suitable table. If you are unsure about compatibility, ask us before ordering.
3) Look after it between summers
Timber frames are easily maintainable and beautifully timeless. Built to last, store somewhere sensible if you can and you will have a parasol that will be with you for years to come.
Made to be looked after
Timber character, season after season
Wood is one of the most naturally renewable materials available when it’s sourced responsibly. That matters to us all. Purchasing something that is going to be a little more eco is something we all love to do.
A well-made wooden garden parasol can be maintained season after season. Timber can be cared for, refreshed, and kept looking its best. Lasting for many years helps to reduce the need to constantly replace such items helping to cut down on unnecessary waste. Keeping your outdoor area loved and cherished.
We focus on sustainable choices that don’t compromise on style: premium timber frames, practical care advice, and a product range built around performance rather than trends. This is shade that earns its place in the garden.
Small habits. More summers.
- Renewable material: wood is renewable when responsibly sourced.
- Longevity: designed for years of outdoor use, not just one summer.
- Maintainable: timber can be cared for and refreshed over time.
- Less waste: looking after what you own helps avoid early replacement.
Why Choose a Wooden Garden Parasol?
A wooden garden parasol brings natural warmth to an outdoor space. The solid timber frame sits comfortably alongside teak furniture, stone patios and planted borders, while the choice of canopy sizes lets you find shade suited to your setting.
Wood is a renewable material when it is responsibly sourced. Looking after the frame, keeping the canopy clean and storing the parasol dry are practical ways to help it stay in use for longer.
Choosing a timber garden parasol means choosing something that will last for a long time not a short time. Properly cared for hardwood can last for many years outdoors. That durability and strength helps to reduce unnecessary waste and ensure that your outdoor area is kept in the shade you so rightly deserve.
