Amazon has slashed the price of a 'perfect' garden addition just in time for summer.
If you're looking to spruce up your garden as the weather gets warmer, then this double-sized parasol is currently on sale for just €79.11.
Rather than the usual round, single-canopy shape, this one features a double-sided design that spans a much wider area, making it a practical option for larger gardens or patios.
It's 13ft wide and is designed to cast shade across your whole seating area in the garden, protecting you from UV rays or rain.
The parasol is proving to be popular with shoppers, becoming a bestseller on Amazon, and now with a 19% discount it's expected to be snapped up.
The frame is made of rust-resistant steel pole and 12 steel ribs, while the canopy uses fade-resistant polyester fabric designed to be easy to clean.
Plus there's also a hand-crank lift system to make opening and closing the parasol to be straightforward, with shoppers saying it's 'easy to use'.
It should be worth noting that a base isn't included with the parasol, but if you've already got one or don't need one then this will be ideal.
Or alternatively a number of bases are available to purchase on Amazon, including this heavy duty rattan effect base for €19.58.
Shoppers who have tried and tested the garden parasol have given it an average rating of 4.8 stars on Amazon.
One customer said in their five star review: "Like this umbrella — it is easy to assemble and can be conveniently opened with a hand crank. It is sturdy and very useful on a sunny day.
"The size is perfect for a large garden and suitable for a small family. Definitely worth buying."
Another wrote: "Really pleased with this, seems good quality and looks good. I wanted a double as the space we have is more rectangular and the parasol we had was a bit small for the space.
"The pole fit in the existing base so I didn't need to buy a new one. Easy crank handle to put up and down."
While a third said: "Lovely garden umbrella, quality of the material is great, big enough to cover most of the garden, perfect when its raining. It's also easy to set up and put away. Overall great value of money."
Somebody else said: "Thought it might be to much for how big the shade is but really sturdy, good quality handle to wind up. I already had 25kg base which I recommend, tried it in a bit windy condition and it hardly moved."
