Create the perfect work from home set up with this large three metre parasol that gives you enough shade from the sun to see your laptop screen – and it’s now almost 50% off
Although the lure of office air con might be calling, one of the benefits of working from home during the heatwave is being able to sit outside and enjoy the sun while you work. The downside, though? Trying to see your screen in the glare from the sun.
A parasol is the perfect work around, that lets you create a shady set up that keeps you out of the direct sun and lets you see your screen, whilst still being able to enjoy sitting outdoors. Luckily we’ve found the perfect parasol for the job with the Living and Home 3m Banana Cantilever Patio Parasol which is now on sale with almost 50% off.

The Patio Parasol is ordinarily priced at £186 on Yimbly, a marketplace owned by our parent company, Reach PLC, but shoppers can now snap it up for just £99, saving you £87. But the savings don’t stop there, because readers can get a further 10% off the sale price by using discount code SUMMER10 at the checkout, which brings it down to £89.10.
It’s a great size for most outdoor spaces, with the Banana Cantilever Patio Parasol measuring three metres across to provide plenty of shade. It can be tilted and adjusted to almost any angle so you can move it with the sun, and the base is on wheels to make it even easier to move around your outdoor space.
The canopy is both UV-resistant and waterproof, so it’ll even keep you protected from those pesky showers that can hit at any moment. Plus its cantilever design means there isn’t an annoying pole right down the middle, so you can set up your work space or garden furniture underneath it.
To keep it secure in your garden, the Banana Cantilever Patio Parasol has an air vent which reduces wind pressure and allows the air to circulate around to help keep you cool at the same time. A crank makes it quick and easy to open and close, and it’s made of rust-free material to give it a long life span.
On Yimbly it currently only has one review, which is a five star one that simply says “Excellent.” If the savings at Yimbly aren’t enough for you, there’s also some other great options you can shop instead.
At Dunelm, the 3m Cantilever Parasol now has a 30% discount that sees it slashed from £79 to £55.30. It comes in both cream and grey colourways, and has a similar cantilever design that makes it handy for your garden.
If you want something instantly, head to Argos where the Habitat 2.5m Overhanging Garden Parasol is £100, but can be ordered for collection as early as tomorrow. It is slightly smaller than both the Dunelm version and the one from Yimbly, which may be ideal if you have a smaller balcony or terrace.
