My first time using Backdrop source and so far they have been a pleasure to work with. They have been extremely helpful throughout the process. Definitely give them a chance.

Wow! My banner added new life to my exhibition. The quality of the print was great and the cool bag that the pieces came in made it even more professional.

Which parasol size and shape suits my space?

Start with where the parasol will stand. Square patio umbrellas at 2m x 2m suit small café tables, pub terraces and tight forecourts where a larger canopy would crowd walkways. Tilting patio umbrellas at 2.7m x 2.7m let you angle the canopy as the sun moves, so customers stay shaded through lunch and into the evening without anyone shifting tables.

Market umbrellas are the largest option in the range at 3m x 3m, available in round or square shapes. Round market umbrellas give a classic look over circular tables and beer garden benches. Square market umbrellas cover more usable ground, line up neatly side by side and make a natural fit for market stalls, food pitches and festival trading spaces.

The tilting style comes in two frame versions. The Tilting Patio Umbrellas (Iron Frame) and the Tilting Patio Umbrellas With Valances (Iron Frame) use an iron frame, while the standard tilting models offer the same 2.7m canopy. If you are unsure which suits your site, compare the product pages side by side or ask the team before you commit.

How do I measure space for a printed parasol?

Ordering the wrong size is one of the most common worries with printed umbrellas, and it is easy to avoid. Measure the area you want to shade, then allow clear space around the canopy so it does not overhang pavements, doorways or neighbouring pitches. Check any limits your landlord, pavement licence or event organiser places on the footprint of outdoor furniture.

As a rough guide, the 2m x 2m Square Patio Umbrella suits a single small table. The 2.7m x 2.7m tilting models cover a larger table or a pair of small ones, and the 3m x 3m market umbrellas give the widest shade for longer tables, serving counters and stall fronts where staff and customers both need cover.

Think about visibility too. A bigger canopy gives a bigger print area, so your logo can be read from further down the street or across a busy festival field. For a run of matching custom parasols across a terrace, choosing one size and shape keeps the frontage tidy and makes your brand look consistent and professional.

Should I choose parasols with or without valances?

Every style in this collection is available with or without valances, the short fabric flaps that hang from the canopy edge. A valance adds a second branding surface closer to eye level, which is useful when the main canopy sits above head height and is mostly seen from a distance or from upstairs windows.

Personalised parasols with valances work well for hospitality venues, and promotional parasols at sponsored events benefit in the same way, because a name, web address or slogan on the valance can be read by people walking past at close range. The valance also gives the finished parasol a more traditional, tailored look that suits café terraces and pub gardens.

Without valances, the canopy has a cleaner, more modern outline and a simpler design area to fill. This can suit bold single-logo layouts or brand colours that speak for themselves. If you cannot decide, ask for a design proof of both versions and see which reads better with your artwork before you place the order.

Which base keeps a printed parasol stable?

Bases are listed separately in this collection, so check you have one for every parasol before your trading day. The Round Metal Base gives a solid footing for terraces and forecourts where the umbrella stays in place for the season. The Round Water Bag is light to carry when empty and is filled on site, which makes it practical for markets and events.

UK weather is the biggest test for any custom umbrella. Wind can catch a large canopy quickly, so weigh the base properly, close the umbrella when gusts pick up and never leave it open unattended overnight. A 3m market umbrella catches more wind than a 2m patio model, so plan your weighting with the canopy size in mind.

If you already own bases or weights that fit the pole, you can reuse them and simply order the printed parasols you need. Unused frames and accessories can be returned within 7 days, which gives you some reassurance if you order a base and then find you do not need it.

How is printed parasol artwork checked before it is made?

Colour mismatch is a real concern when parasols sit right outside your own shopfront. Canopies are printed using dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink into the fabric rather than leaving it sitting on the surface, giving sharp logos and strong colour across the whole design area of the canopy and valances.

Before anything prints, our design team sends a free 2D proof showing how your artwork sits on the parasol. You can request as many revisions as you need with no obligation to order, and production only begins once you approve. That makes it simple to share the proof with a manager, franchise owner or sponsor for sign-off first.

Once approved, production starts within 24 business hours, which helps when you are working to a season launch or festival date. If a print error is our fault, it is reprinted free. Budget printed umbrellas can still look professional when the artwork is right, so keep the design simple, use high-contrast colours and let the proof confirm the result.

How do I plan a parasol order?

Start by opening one or two product pages to confirm size, shape and valance options, then send your logo or brand guidelines for a quote and proof. Telling us your event or opening date at the start helps confirm timing before you commit, especially in the busy run-up to summer.

If you are comparing custom printed market umbrellas against plain unbranded ones, remember that a printed canopy works as signage as well as shade. For multi-site venues or event teams, ordering matching parasols together keeps layouts and sizing consistent across every location and pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do custom printed parasols come with a base? +
No, bases are sold separately, so you choose the one that suits your site. The Round Metal Base is a sturdy option for terraces and forecourts where the parasol stays in place, while the Round Water Bag is easier to transport and fill on site for markets and events. Order one for each parasol unless you already own compatible bases.
What is the difference between a patio umbrella and a market umbrella? +
A market umbrella is larger, giving wider shade over long tables, counters and stalls, while a patio umbrella is more compact for individual tables. In this range the patio styles come in 2m and 2.7m sizes, and the market umbrellas measure 3m x 3m in either round or square shapes, all available with or without valances.
What is a tilting parasol and do I need one? +
A tilting parasol lets you angle the canopy towards the sun, so shade can follow the light through the day without moving tables. It suits terraces and pavement seating with changing sun exposure. Our tilting patio umbrellas measure 2.7m x 2.7m and come in standard and iron frame versions, each with or without valances.
Can I print my logo on the valance as well as the canopy? +
Yes, choosing a model with valances gives you a second print area around the canopy edge. Many businesses put the main logo on the canopy and a name, slogan or web address on the valance, where it is easier to read at close range. Your free design proof shows exactly how both areas will look.
Are printed parasols safe to use in windy weather? +
Printed parasols can be used outdoors in the UK, but any canopy should be closed when winds pick up. Make sure the base is properly weighted for the canopy size, take extra care with the larger 3m market umbrellas, and never leave a parasol open and unattended overnight or during gusty conditions.
Which parasol size is best for a market stall? +
The 3m x 3m Square Market Umbrella is usually the best fit for a market stall, as its square shape covers a rectangular pitch more efficiently and lines up neatly beside other stalls. Pair it with the Round Water Bag for easy transport, and check your market's rules on canopy size before ordering.
How should I lay out my logo on a printed umbrella? +
Keep your logo bold and simple so it reads clearly from a distance on the sloping canopy panels. Repeating the logo on alternate panels means it can be seen from every direction, while high-contrast colours stay legible in bright sun. Our design team can suggest a layout and show it on your free proof.
