Make more of the space beneath your parasol. The Levante Side Wind’s cantilever design positions the supporting post to one side, leaving room to arrange your table, pull out chairs or move a lounger into the shade.

With no centre pole to work around, you have greater freedom to position your outdoor furniture. In simple words, you place your furniture where it works, not where the pole allows.

Shade for gardens and hospitality spaces

At home, this large bamboo cantilever parasol provides shade for dining patios, outdoor lounge areas and poolside seating. Its natural bamboo frame complements timber furniture and surrounding plants, while the open space beneath the canopy gives you room to sit, dine and relax.

For hotels, restaurants, cafés and pubs, the Levante Side Wind combines generous shade with a distinctive natural and warm finish. The side-post design keeps the area beneath the canopy clear for guest seating. Custom canopy colours, bespoke valances and logo printing are available to complement your venue’s branding and aesthetics.

For hospitality pricing, site surveys and bulk orders, explore our dedicated commercial parasols service. You can still use the sizing, materials and base guidance tabs on this page to help choose the right configuration for your space.

Choosing your Levante Side Wind size and shape

The Levante Side Wind comes in five configurations to suit different furniture layouts.

Shade for dining tables

Start by measuring the area you want to shade, including the chairs around your table. A canopy that only covers the tabletop can leave people sitting in direct sunlight.

Our golden rule is to allow at least 1m of canopy beyond each table edge to help shade the surrounding seating. The guide below assumes your table is centred beneath the canopy.

Parasol shapeCanopy sizeMaximum table size allowing 1m on each side
Round3.5m diameterRound table: 150cm diameter
Square3.0 × 3.0mSquare table: 100 × 100cm
Square3.4 × 3.4mSquare table: 140 × 140cm
Rectangular2.5 × 3.5mRectangular table: 50cm wide × 150cm long
Rectangular3.0 × 4.0mRectangular table: 100cm wide × 200cm long

Shade for sun loungers

Position loungers side by side, with space between them for easy access. These examples assume each lounger measures approximately 70cm wide × 200cm long, with 40cm between loungers.

Parasol shape and size Suggested number of loungers Placement
Round · 3.5m 2 loungers Centre both loungers beneath the canopy, keeping their ends within its curved edge.
Square · 3.0 × 3.0m 2 loungers Place side by side, creating an arrangement approximately 180 × 200cm.
Square · 3.4 × 3.4m 3 loungers Place in a row approximately 290 × 200cm. Choose two for more room around the edges.
Rectangular · 2.5 × 3.5m 2 loungers Align the loungers’ length with the canopy’s 3.5m side.
Rectangular · 3.0 × 4.0m 3 loungers Arrange the row across the 4m side, with the loungers extending along the 3m side.

Shade for sofas and a coffee table

Keep the coffee table within comfortable reach and measure the whole arrangement, including the gap between the table and sofa.

Parasol shape and sizeExample seating arrangementPlacement
Round · 3.5mCompact two-seater sofa and coffee tableCentre the arrangement and check that the sofa’s outer corners sit beneath the curved canopy.
Square · 3.0 × 3.0mTwo-seater sofa and coffee tablePosition the sofa parallel to a canopy edge, with the table in front.
Square · 3.4 × 3.4mThree-seater sofa, one lounge armchair and coffee tablePlace the armchair beside the sofa at a right angle, facing the table.
Rectangular · 2.5 × 3.5mThree-seater sofa and coffee tableAlign the sofa with the canopy’s longer side.
Rectangular · 3.0 × 4.0mThree-seater sofa, two lounge armchairs and coffee tablePosition the sofa along the 4m side, with an armchair at each end facing inward.

Strong construction for outdoor use

The laminated bamboo frame and stainless-steel fittings give the Levante Side Wind a robust structure for garden and terrace use. Secure it with a suitable base or ground fixing, follow the manufacturer’s wind guidance and always close the canopy when unattended.

360° rotation and 45° tilt

Keep the shade where you need it as the sun moves. The 360° rotating base allows you to reposition the canopy around the side post, while the 45° tilt helps shade your seating from angled sunlight. Adjust the canopy over your dining table or lounge area without rearranging your furniture.

Operating the Levante Side Wind Bamboo Cantilever Parasol

Geared winch for easy opening and closing

The geared winch uses 304-grade stainless-steel wire to open and close the canopy. The geared winch reduces the effort needed to open and close the large canopy. Turn the crank handle to open the parasol and reverse the direction to close it, following the locking and release steps shown in the demonstration.

360° rotation for flexible shade

Position the shade around your seating without shifting the base or rearranging your furniture. Release the rotation locks near the base, turn the parasol side mast and the canopy should rotate to your preferred position, then secure the locks again. The full 360° rotation allows you to direct the canopy towards different areas throughout the day.

45° tilt for angled sunlight

Adjust the canopy’s angle to help shade your seating as the sun moves lower in the sky. The tilt controls on the main post allow you to angle the canopy by up to 45°. Secure it in position once you have the coverage you need.

Watch this video on how to open, close, rotate and tilt the Levante Side Wind.

Canopy Materials

Choose from Polyester, Bamcrylic® and Recasens® RECacril® to suit your budget, colour preference and outdoor setting. Each fabric offers a different balance of price, fade resistance and performance.

Polyester – an affordable choice

Polyester is the entry-level canopy option, offering a simple, neutral finish at a lower price. Available in Beige and Ecru, it complements bamboo frames and a wide range of garden furniture.

  • Affordable canopy option
  • Resistant to creasing and holds its shape well
  • Available in two neutral colours

Bamcrylic® – lasting colour and everyday practicality

Bamcrylic® is solution-dyed, which means colour is added during fibre production, before the yarn is woven into fabric. This helps the canopy resist fading and retain its colour through regular outdoor use.

Its water-repellent finish and stain resistance makes it a practical choice for garden seating and hospitality terraces.

  • Solution-dyed for improved colour retention
  • Resistant to fading from sunlight
  • Water-repellent and stain-resistant
  • UPF 50 or above for protection against UV passing through the fabric
  • Available in a wide choice of colours

Recasens® RECacril® – premium outdoor performance

RECacril® is a solution-dyed acrylic fabric designed for outdoor shade. It combines strong colour retention with a protective finish that repels water, oil and dirt and helps resist mould and mildew.

Choose it when fabric durability, ease of maintenance and resistance to fading are priorities.

  • Solution-dyed acrylic for lasting colour
  • High resistance to fading
  • Water, oil and dirt repellence
  • Mould and mildew resistance
  • Designed for outdoor sun protection

Understanding UV protection and rain resistance

UPF measures how much ultraviolet radiation passes through the fabric. A UPF rating of 50 means approximately 1/50th, or 2%, passes through under test conditions. This rating applies to the fabric; the shade beneath your parasol also depends on the sun’s position and canopy angle.

Water-repellent fabric helps shed light showers, but it does not make the parasol a waterproof shelter.

Material What it offers Consider it for
Polyester The entry-level fabric option Keeping the initial purchase cost lower
Bamcrylic® A solution-dyed option with improved fade resistance over standard polyester A balance between price and colour durability
Recasens® REcacril® Solution-dyed acrylic with a focus on durability and fade resistance Frequent outdoor use and a higher-specification fabric choice
