Christow 2m Tilting Beach Parasol UV50+ Sage Green

Whether you're setting up on the beach or relaxing in the garden, this Christow parasol makes it easy to stay shaded wherever the day takes you. The 2-metre sage green canopy with its fringed edges and white trim gives it a charming retro look, while the UV 50+ rated polyester fabric means you're getting genuine sun protection rather than just shade. At just 1.8kg, it's light enough to carry without any fuss.

One of its most practical features is the push-button tilt mechanism, which lets you angle the canopy left or right to follow the sun as it moves throughout the day. This means you're not constantly repositioning the whole parasol just to avoid glare from a low afternoon sun. The included ground spike is handy for pushing straight into sand or soft ground, though for windier conditions or harder surfaces, pairing it with a weighted base will give you much more stability.

Packing away is straightforward thanks to the two-part steel pole with a simple screw connector. Once dismantled, everything fits neatly into the included travel bag, making it easy to take along on holidays, day trips, or just to stow away at the end of summer. It's a solid, versatile parasol that covers the essentials without overcomplicating things. Available on Amazon.
