Compared with the GardenCo 3m, the SONGMICS cantilever parasol offers a different set of features that may make it a better choice for some buyers.

These features make the GardenCo 3m a good option for those looking for a durable and convenient cantilever parasol for their patio or garden. UV protection is another aspect to consider. With children playing, senior citizens, and families using the parasol, it is crucial to consider the safety aspect of the parasol. After all, the canopy is meant for protection, not to make you ill.

The parasol also has a swivel joint that allows it to rotate 360°, providing convenient and easy adjustment of the sunshade.Keep in mind that the cantilever style of parasol requires a heavier base to counterbalance the canopy while open. Smaller parasols (2-3m) can be held securely with a 50kg base if free-standing, while larger ones (3-4m+) will require a minimum of 50-70kg. 3. Are cantilever parasols good in wind?
