Choosing the right parasol size is essential for optimal shade coverage and aesthetic appeal. At Sunny Parasol, we help you select the perfect size based on your space and needs.
1. Measure Your Outdoor Area
Before buying, measure the space where the parasol will be placed:
✔ Table diameter (for dining sets)
✔ Seating area dimensions (loungers, sofas)
✔ Available clearance (height & width)
📏 Pro Tip: Your parasol should extend at least 1-1.5 feet beyond your seating area for full coverage.
2. Match Parasol Size to Your Furniture
Small Spaces (Balcony/Bistro Sets)
✅ 2m Round or 2x2m Square
• Covers 2-4 person bistro sets
• Ideal for apartment balconies, small patios
Medium Areas (Dining Sets, Poolside)
✅ 2.5-3m Round or 2.5×2.5m Square
• Fits 6-8 person dining tables
• Great for backyard decks, poolside loungers
Large Commercial Spaces (Restaurants, Hotels)
✅ 3x3m+ Cantilever or 3.5m Round
• Covers extended seating areas

3. Consider Shape & Function
