The VonHaus 2.7M parasol has become a popular choice among shoppers seeking reliable outdoor shade, with more than 400 units sold on Amazon in the past month. Priced at £42.99 in burnt orange or £39.99 in dark green, the parasol has earned an average rating of 4.6 out of five stars from customer reviews.
Features and Design
The parasol features a 2.7-metre canopy made from 180gsm polyester, described by the brand as 'built for the British weather.' It includes a hand crank for easy opening and closing, air vents and ribs for stability in breezy conditions, and is both water and UV30+ resistant. The robust 38mm steel pole has a rust-resistant powder coating, and the umbrella can be tilted up to 30 degrees. The brand recommends using a compatible parasol base or weights for stability.
Customer Feedback
Shoppers have highlighted the parasol's ease of use and quality. One reviewer said: 'A great umbrella, not too big, sturdy and easy to put up.' Another commented: 'Fabric feels and looks good quality. Comes with a pole that fits perfectly and the spokes look very robust, so too does the crank handle. Haven't, as yet, put outside in garden but impressed with the size and quality and value for money.' A third added: 'Great parasol, love the colour, and easy winding mechanism. Great value for money.'
Some customers noted minor drawbacks. One reviewer stated: 'Looks good and sturdy. I would have given it a five-star review, but there is no strap to hold the umbrella when it is down and the white board inside the umbrella could have been in a darker colour so it wasn't so noticeable.' Another said: 'The umbrella was OK. Unfortunately too tall for my patio area, colour was good and it wound up well.'
