CHRISTOW Tilting Garden Parasol Umbrella

Fabulous Fabulous colour Sturdy Value for money Looks good in the garden

Love this, navy colour is beautiful, and stands up to winds. The tilt mechanism is ideal to follow the sun.

This is good value with a sturdy central support and winding gear . The fabric seems to be of good quality and gives a good amount of coverage.

I first purchased one of these (27/04/20) and was extremely impressed with the quality. I am 60 years old and have purchased many different ones over the years....this was the best!!! The parasol material was a cream colour and very strong canvas material. The crank handle was also been extremely sturdy. It has been in my garden (exposed and with no cover) for nearly 18 months and showed no sign of wear or discoloration. Last Sunday I had inadvertently left the parasol open and was upset to find a gust of wind had got under it, blown it over taking my glass table with it and completely snapping the main pole. No one at fault but myself. So I got straight online and pressed "Buy Again" I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED when it arrive today. NOTING LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONE. It is a lot lighter (in weight), the material of the parasol is much like plastic, it is very yellow in colour and the the crank is quite flimsy. UNFORTUNATELY I cannot return it because I have to use it today, but doubt that I will buy another one when needed🤔😔 UPDATE:- I received a call from this company within days of posting my review. They offered to collect BOTH parasols and replace them or refund me in full (even though the breakage of the first one was entirely my fault). The staff could not have been more helpful (Thank you Lucy). As I explained I had to use the second one, but they have assured me that if I am not happy with it I only have to get in touch with them. You can email this company or if you are like me and wish to speak in person, their response time on the phone is immediate. CUSTOMER SERVICE...OUTSTANDING! And because of this I retract my original statement and will DEFINITELY USE THIS COMPANY again for further purchases😊.

This is a beast of an umbrella in the best meaning of the word! We bought their largest version (2.7m spread), which was a good thing as it means we don't have to keep repositioning the umbrella as the sun moves across the sky. It feels solid and well made, but it is easy to open up (using the handle) and to tilt. We bought (separately) a 25K base, which is what they recommend if using the umbrella without the support of a patio table, and you would be unwise to rely on a lighter base given the weight of the umbrella. Too early to know how long the umbrella will last, but we are very pleased so far.

These parasols are lightweight, easy to remove and store daily and so far they appear to be sturdy on our windy beachside location . They do lift out of the bases when the wind gets beneath them, but that’s not the fault of the parasol, but our windy location so we have bolted them into their bases and they are doing really well in a challenging environment. It has been difficult to find parasols with a post that splits easily and tops that are lightweight enough for our staff to bring them inside daily and these have served our purpose perfectly. They look good . We started with 10 and we were so pleased with them we have ordered more. The delivery was really quick and they take minimal work to erect. Just remove packaging, slot parasol top onto the bottom pole and they are ready.

I’ve knocked one star off as the parasol material wasn’t very well finished, quite a lot of loose threads at the ends where it was sewn, which I had to cut off to tidy it. But other than that it’s a good parasol and we like that it tilts if needed. It’s grey what more can I say it was the colour I wanted. Good winding mechanism seems quite robust, but we will see how it performs over the summer. Good value for money overall.

What an amazing product. It was delivered well packed and secure no damage. But what a product sturdy well made easy to put together and the one action tilt easy to use by pushing the button inwards it allows you more coverage and you can follow the sun to get thr maximum use of thr shade. And finally easy do put away and store, a five star product with a fantastic price point.
