Measure your table length and width, then choose a canopy that overhangs on all sides. Rectangular parasols are generally sized to suit six and eight seat dining tables. Make sure the canopy is long enough to shade the end seats, not just the middle of the table.
Yes. The oblong canopy follows the shape of a long or rectangular table, covering its full length. A round parasol of the same area would leave the ends of a long table exposed, so the rectangular shape is the more practical choice for dining sets and bench seating.
Usually, yes. Because the canopy is larger, it catches more wind and needs a heavier base to stay stable. Always match the base weight to the canopy size and go heavier in an exposed garden. You will need a base even if the pole feeds through a table hole.
Many of our rectangular parasols include a tilt function, letting you angle the canopy to block low morning or evening sun. Check the individual product description, as tilt is not available on every model.
Some models are designed to feed through a standard table hole, while others are intended to stand alongside the table on a base. Check the product description for your chosen parasol, and remember you will still need a weighted base for stability either way.
