I wanna buy a cream parasol

Im looking for a nice looking cream parasol and base, the cheapest Ive seen is £50. I have seen other colours cheaper but I need to get one in cream and for some reason they seem more expensive. If anyone can point me in the right direction of a garden sale that would be great thanks x

    Hi,

    I got a mailshot thru today from Nisbets - they currently have a bit of a sale on, and they have 2 cream coloured round parasols with strong wooden pole, showerproof canopy and open crank system ideal for cafes, pub gardens and restaurants in their sale This one, with a 2.5m diameter for £19.99 plus VAT, and also This one, which is 3m diameter for £22.99 plus VAT.

    I've made a few orders from here before after seeing some posts on here - you don't have to be in the catering trade - and they delivered super quickly.

    TBH, I don't know whether this is cheap or not, but it sounds like it might be so I thought I'd let you know,

    Additional Product Information38mm wooden pole with 6 wooden ribs.
    Complete with decorative wooden finial.
    Canopy with 250g UV and shower proof.
    Easy to open and close.
    Brass anodized crank system operation.
    Dimensions : 1280 x 130 x 130 mm or 1480 x 135 x 135 mm
    Warranty : 1 year.
    Weight : 5.5kg. or 7.5kg.

    Edit NB - these don't come with bases, but you can get a cheapo plastic one from Tesco for £5, or Woolworths have this slightly more stylish one (if that's something important in a parasol base!) in granite, reduced from £19.99 to £9.99 with free delivery
