A parasol for every need 

Parasols come in various sizes, shapes and types and include different functional and visual properties that make each design stand out. At vidaXL, we offer a wide range of designs to suit every outdoor space and lifestyle. Take a look at some of our popular options right here and find the right parasol for you: 

Garden parasols

If you’re looking for a traditional and versatile option, a classic parasol is a fantastic choice. Designed with a central pole, these parasols are perfect for shading outdoor dining tables, seating areas or sun loungers. Their simple design makes them easy to move and adjust, providing reliable shade throughout the day.

Cantilever parasols

For a more modern and flexible solution, a cantilever parasol is ideal. With a side pole and an overhanging canopy, it offers unobstructed space underneath — no centre pole getting in the way. This makes it a particularly good choice for larger seating areas, outdoor sofas or hot tubs. Many of our cantilever parasols feature adjustable angles and 360-degree rotation, so you can easily move the shade as the sun shifts. 

3-tier and 4-tier parasols

Looking for something stylish and functional? Our 3-tier and 4-tier parasols not only provide excellent shade but also allow for better air circulation. The multi-layered design helps release heat and wind, keeping you cool and preventing the parasol from tipping over. These are perfect for hot summer days when you need a breathable and comfortable shaded area.

Complete parasol sets with extra base

For a hassle-free setup, check out our complete parasol sets that include an extra parasol base. These sets are designed to keep your parasol stable and secure while saving you time and effort. No need to shop for a separate outdoor umbrella base — everything you need is included.

Parasols with integrated LED lights

Extend your outdoor enjoyment into the evening with our parasols with built-in LED lights. These are perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during late-night dinners or garden parties. The discreet, solar-powered LEDs are energy-efficient and add a soft glow to your outdoor space. It’s simply a genius design. 

Explore garden umbrellas in various styles 

Your outdoor space should feel like an extension of your home — a place to relax, unwind and enjoy sunny days without feeling like you’re melting. Choosing the right parasol is the perfect way to add both comfort and style to your garden or patio. At vidaXL, we’ve got a stunning range of shapes, colours and designs to help you create the outdoor vibe you’ve been dreaming of.

Find the parasol shape that suits your space

The shape of your parasol can make a big difference in how your space looks and feels. Not sure which one to pick? Let’s break it down:

• Square parasols – Sleek, modern and perfect for clean-lined gardens or minimalist patios. They offer even coverage, making them great for shading outdoor dining sets.

• Rectangular parasols – Need to cover a big garden table or a long lounge set? A rectangular parasol has you covered—literally. It’s ideal for large seating areas and extended spaces.

• Hexagonal parasols – Want something a little softer and more decorative? Hexagonal designs offer a more classic, elegant look that feels relaxed and inviting.

• Octagonal parasols – A timeless favourite. Octagonal parasols blend beautifully into any setting, from cosy corners to open gardens, offering a balanced and stylish touch.

Garden parasols in a world of wonderful nuances 

Colour is where your personality can really shine. Whether you want something calm and neutral or bold and bright, we’ve got a parasol style for you:

• Neutral tones like grey, anthracite, black and white are super versatile and give a modern, sophisticated look. Perfect for sleek, contemporary spaces.

• Warm earthy colours like beige, taupe and brown create a cosy, natural vibe. They pair beautifully with wooden furniture and greenery for that rustic, laid-back feel.

• Bold and lively colours like green, blue, red and orange bring energy and fun to your space. Perfect for summer parties or adding a cheerful pop of colour to your garden.

Are you looking for something extra special? Our garden umbrellas and sunshades with a striped design are a great way to spice up your outdoor area a little extra. 

Pick the perfect parasol size for your outdoor space

Choosing the right parasol size is key to creating a comfortable and stylish outdoor area. Too small, and you won’t get enough shade; too large, and it might overwhelm your space. At vidaXL Ireland, you can find parasols in a variety of sizes to suit your outdoor space.

For cosy spaces like balconies or small patios, a compact classic parasol or a half parasol fits perfectly without taking up too much room. If you’re shading a garden table or lounge set, a larger cantilever parasol provides wide coverage without a central pole getting in the way. Need to cover a big seating area or multiple sun loungers? Go for one of our extra-large parasols or even a rectangular parasol for maximum coverage.

Garden parasols made from reliable materials

Your parasol should do more than just look good — it should be built to last and keep you comfortable all summer long. Our parasols combine stylish designs with durable materials to ensure you’ll get to enjoy and use yours for many seasons to come. 

For the fabric, our parasols primarily consist of UV-protective, anti-fade polyester. The material effectively stops the sun’s rays from reaching through while ensuring your parasol maintains its colour and appearance, even after long days in the sun.

For the parasol frames, you can choose between steel, aluminium and wood: 

• Our steel frames are tough and durable, making sure your parasol stays stable even on windy days. Steel is perfect for larger parasols and open garden spaces where strength really matters. 

• Our aluminium parasols are lightweight, rust-resistant and super stylish. They’re ideal for modern patios and are easy to adjust whenever you want to move your shade. 

• Our wooden parasols bring warmth and charm to any outdoor space. Made from durable woods like eucalyptus or bamboo, they’re perfect for blending into natural surroundings.

Which material you pick for the parasol frame depends on your personal preference in terms of practicality and aesthetics. 

Tips for keeping your garden parasol looking as neat as ever

A little care goes a long way in keeping your parasol looking fresh and lasting for years. Start by regularly wiping down the frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For the canopy, use mild soap and water to gently clean off stains or bird droppings—this keeps the fabric bright and clean.

If your parasol is often exposed to heavy rainfall, we recommend treating the fabric with a waterproofing spray to give it extra protection. This helps prevent water damage and keeps the material strong and durable.

On windy or stormy days, always close and secure your parasol to avoid damage. When not in use, use a protective parasol cover — if possible — or store it indoors during the off-season to protect it from the elements.
