is perfect for keeping the family safe from the sun(Image: Debenhams) As much as it's lovely to have the sun on our backs in the heat of the summer, too much sun exposure can cause a lot of
harm. From sunburn to eye damage, premature ageing to heightened risk of skin cancer, it's important to limit time spent under harmful rays.
With this in mind, a parasol is often considered a garden must-have. A good quality parasol allows families to enjoy time in the fresh air, whether that's playing in the garden with the kids
or enjoying an al fresco meal, while protecting them from sun damage.
Now, shoppers in the market for a summer parasol can get a large shelter heavily discounted at Debenhams. The 3M Banana Cantilever Outdoor Patio Parasol, which offers protection from both
sun and rain, is now £116.11 down from £470 - that's 75% off.

The wide-reaching parasol is designed with the pole at the back, so it can provide shelter without a pole getting in the way. It can be easily adjusted and tilted to provide the desired
level of shade, and it's UV resistant which helps to keep users cool even when the sun is blazing down.
The 3M Banana Cantilever Outdoor Patio Parasol also provides rain protection, so no unexpected rain shower will ruin a family BBQ, and the base is on wheels for easy manoeuvring.
If this parasol isn't quite what shoppers are after, they could instead try the Elements 3m Cantilever Parasol for £79 from Dunelm. Available in cream, grey and teal, this parasol has a
crank feature and is free-standing with a base that can be weighted to keep it nice and stable.
There's plenty of space under this parasol(Image: Debenhams) Alternatively, there's the Outsunny 2.5m Wood Garden Parasol on Amazon, which is available in a natural grey for £42.99. This one
has a traditional central pole with wood detailing for a seamless look, and the canopy has vents to allow the breeze to flow and ensure the parasol withstands windy weather.
The parasol from Debenhams has great reviews. One shopper said: "Great sun umbrella. Good quality, great price. Would recommend."
Another added: "Excellent quality, really pleased with this parasol and the base is nice and firm."
A third said: "Great product, good quality, perfect for the garden shade."
Some did point out some flaws, for example one shopper said: "Very pleased with this parasol, it’s easy to assemble and the base is easy to move, good lever movement. Not easy for shorter
people to reach the lever when extended would be my only critique but overall an excellent product."

However, for a great deal on a large parasol that can be used rain or shine, the 3M Banana Cantilever Outdoor Patio Parasol could be perfect for summer gardens.
