    Rather depends on how big your balcony is and how you are going to fix it down.

    One tiny point - check your lease/tenancy agreement to see if you are allowed to put a parasol on your balcony. Quite often you can't.

    I bought a small parasol that clips onto a chair or balcony rail when I moved into my current home a couple of years ago. It's about the size of a large umbrella I'd say. I got it from a local hardware shop & was only about £7-£8. Try looking somewhere like Wilkinson's or Robert Dyas to see if they have anything similar
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    ++seen them and i wondered if they would be ok. Will have another look at them. Thanks
  • I also wanted to buy a similar one but wasn't sure it would work. Could you respond later if the thing is worth buying?
