Discover the benefits of our cantilever coconut fiber parasol
Natural, durable sun protection with authentic style
Add a touch of the exotic and refreshing shade to your outdoor spaces with our cantilever parasol made from natural coconut fiber, mounted on a reinforced aluminum pole. Ideal for terraces, beaches, pool areas, or gardens, this parasol combines rustic elegance with technical performance. The coconut fibers naturally filter UV rays while allowing air to circulate, creating an airy, pleasant, and visually unique shaded area. Its natural, bohemian look makes it a standout decorative feature while ensuring optimal thermal comfort. Explore our full range in the coconut parasols category.
Structural strength and weather resistance
Built to last, our parasol features a reinforced aluminum pole and ribs, ensuring maximum resistance to wind, impact, and corrosion. Unlike untreated wood or steel structures, the powder-coated aluminum used does not rust, even in salty environments. The coconut fiber is resistant to UV rays, moisture, and changing weather conditions, allowing for year-round use—even in challenging conditions such as the Mistral, Tramontane, or strong sea breezes.
Easy installation and versatility for any setting
Available in various diameters, our cantilever parasol is suitable for both private spaces and professional environments (hotels, restaurants, seaside resorts). Depending on your space layout, you can choose a round center-pole parasol—perfect for shading a lounge area or a round table—or a rectangular center-pole parasol, which is better suited for long dining tables and elongated terraces. It can be installed directly on a terrace using a suitable weighted base. Assembly is straightforward, thanks to a design that allows for quick setup by two people without the need for complex tools.
A natural, customizable parasol with a warranty
We offer several standard sizes as well as custom manufacturing to meet the specific needs of each project. Whether you wish to cover a relaxation area, a dining spot, or a large terrace, we will help you select the right model and dimensions. Each parasol comes with a 2-year warranty and a comprehensive installation guide. To extend its lifespan, we recommend storing it away during long periods of non-use. It is also possible to replace the canopy fabric on your parasols. For more information, please refer to the custom parasols section.

Rectangular center-pole parasol: covering a long table without overkill
Why a rectangle instead of a round shape?
It is not a question of aesthetics, but of arithmetic. To keep the ends of a two-by-one-meter table shaded, a round parasol would need a three-meter diameter—meaning most of that shaded area would fall beside the table, into empty space. A rectangular parasol follows the shape of what it protects: less fabric, less wind resistance, and a smaller footprint, all while providing more complete shade. It is therefore the ideal choice for large dining setups, long terraces, rows of sun loungers, and covered walkways. For a garden lounge set, a round table, or a square space, the round center-pole parasol remains the right choice.
The center pole: greater stability, less ballast
This is the technical difference compared to a cantilever model, and it works in favor of the center-pole design. The load travels vertically down the axis of the pole without creating leverage; consequently, the required ballast is significantly lower for the same amount of shade, the structure withstands gusts better, and the footprint is limited to the base itself. The powder-coated aluminum pole and ribs do not rust—even in salty air—and withstand repeated opening cycles without developing looseness. There is, of course, a trade-off: the pole passes through the shaded area. If you have a table with a central hole, this is a non-issue; if your furniture cannot accommodate a pole, the offset rectangular sunshade leaves the entire area underneath clear, though it requires a heavier base.
Coconut fiber: what to know before buying
The natural weave filters light rather than blocking it and allows air to pass through the canopy, preventing the stifling heat often felt under a standard parasol in the late afternoon. It is also a living material: the color evolves from season to season, darkening slightly—part of the appeal for those who prefer it over the uniform look of synthetic fabrics. Maintenance is minimal, requiring only a dry brushing at the start of the season. However, the material does not fare well if left damp inside a closed cover; the parasol should be folded when dry and stored indoors during winter. Other versions of this product are available in the coconut fiber parasols category.
Dimensions, custom manufacturing, and re-covering
The key factor is not the size of the parasol itself, but the size of the area requiring shade during your intended hours of use: a table seating eight people requires a different amount of overhang at noon compared to 6 PM. Several standard sizes are available, with custom manufacturing options for cases where standard sizes don’t fit—such as for professional use, restaurant terraces, or specific installation constraints. Comes with a 2-year warranty and instructions; assembly requires two people and no special tools. Since the canopy is the part that shows wear first, it can be replaced independently without changing the structure: see the custom parasols section.

Round center-pole parasol: the most versatile shape
Symmetry: an underrated advantage
A round parasol casts the same shadow in all directions, regardless of the time of day. As the sun moves, the shaded area remains centered on the pole; there is no need to reorient or shift the parasol between lunch and drinks. This makes it the go-to choice for round or square tables, garden lounge sets, reading nooks, or relaxation areas with no specific geometric layout. It is also forgiving regarding placement—a poorly oriented rectangular parasol might leave a corner exposed to the sun, whereas a round one has no specific orientation. Conversely, if your space is distinctly elongated, the rectangular center-pole parasol will cover the same usable area with less canopy fabric.
Ease of setup
It is the simplest model to install: a weighted base on the patio, a pole, and the job is done. The load is distributed vertically without leverage, minimizing the required ballast and footprint compared to a cantilever model. The powder-coated aluminum pole and ribs are rust-proof—even in seaside locations—and withstand repeated opening cycles without becoming loose or wobbly. It can be opened and closed by one person in seconds—a feature that matters more than you might think for a parasol used daily. However, the pole does occupy space within the shaded area; if your furniture cannot accommodate this, the Offset rectangular sunshade leaves the entire area unobstructed.
The benefits and requirements of coconut fiber
The natural weave filters light rather than blocking it and allows air to pass through the canopy, avoiding the stifling, trapped-heat effect often felt under a standard parasol in the late afternoon. It is a living material; its color deepens slightly over the seasons—a transformation that is part of its unique appeal. Maintenance simply requires a dry brushing at the start of the season. The only thing to watch out for is leaving it damp inside a closed cover. Fold the parasol when dry and store it indoors for the winter, and it will last for years. Other versions of this material can be found in the coconut fiber parasols category.
Choosing the diameter, custom options, and canopy replacement
The key factor isn’t just the listed diameter, but the desired overhang around the table: allow for about fifty centimeters of canopy extending beyond the table edge so guests stay shaded as the sun lowers. A table for four requires a different model than a table for eight; we are happy to help you decide based on your specific dimensions. Several standard diameters are available, with custom manufacturing options for professional use or specific installation requirements. Comes with a 2-year warranty, instructions, and is designed for two-person assembly without special tools. Since the canopy is the part that ages first, it can be replaced independently without altering the structure—see the custom parasols section.
