Collection: Balinese Garden Umbrellas

Beautiful Balinese Garden Umbrellas

Our Bali Patio Parasols are handcrafted in Indonesia by skilled artisans, made using techniques passed down through generations of Balinese craftspeople. If you're looking for a garden umbrella that does more than the standard cream canvas offerings on every other patio in the country, you're in the right place. Each parasol in the collection is a genuine piece of artisan work — built to bring shade, character and a sense of the islands to British gardens, patios and terraces.

Every Balinese garden umbrella is constructed from durable Dorran wood, reinforced with a lightweight aluminium core for stability, and topped with a canopy of natural cotton. The canopies are finished with intricate gold patterning, brass heart pendants and flowing cotton tassels that move with the breeze. In Balinese tradition, the hearts and tassels are far more than decoration — they are symbols of blessing and protection over the space they shade, a gentle nod to the spiritual heritage that runs through Balinese craft.

At the centre of every canopy sits a hand-loomed cotton weave. This traditional detail anchors the structure and reflects the weaving craft Bali has long been celebrated for — a skill that has shaped Balinese textiles, ceremonial pieces and temple architecture for centuries. It is also the reason no two patio umbrellas in this collection are ever quite the same.

The Bali Patio Parasol collection runs across a range of sizes and colours to suit every outdoor setting. Choose from calm, neutral naturals for a softer, understated finish, or step into vivid turquoise, deep blue and warm orange for outdoor umbrellas that anchor a corner of the garden as a true focal point. Canopies range from 1.5 metres to a generous 2 metres in diameter — suitable for everything from a bistro table for two to a six-seater dining setting or lounging area.

Each piece is designed to work as well as it looks. The natural cotton canopy is breathable and softens the light beneath it. The Dorran wood frame is built to stand up to real-world use across the British summer, and the aluminium core keeps the structure stable without weighing the whole thing down. Whether placed over a garden table, beside a plunge pool, on a courtyard terrace or styled into a boutique hotel garden, every parasol earns its place.

If you've been hunting for a decorative garden umbrella that actually has soul — something with story, colour and craftsmanship rather than another mass-produced patio cover — the Bali range is where to start. These are not factory-finished pieces, and they are not meant to be. They are made by hand, by people, with care, and small variations in pattern, weave and finish are part of the character.

Browse the full collection to find the size and colour that suits your space — and bring a piece of authentic Balinese craft home.

Bali Patio Umbrella FAQs

1. Are Bali garden umbrellas waterproof?
The natural cotton canopy is shower-resistant rather than fully waterproof. We recommend bringing the parasol indoors during heavy rain or storing it under cover when not in use. This will also significantly extend the life of the canopy and protect the gold detailing.

2. What size patio umbrella do I need for my garden table?
As a guide, a 1.5m canopy comfortably shades a bistro table for two to four people. A 2m canopy is suited to a six-seater dining table or a lounge setting. For larger gatherings, you may wish to pair two parasols.

3. What is Dorran wood?
Dorran is a hardwood used widely in Balinese craft for its strength, durability and natural resistance to weathering. It's the traditional choice for parasol frames in Indonesia and gives each piece its sturdy, characterful feel.

4. Are the parasols handmade?
Yes. Every parasol in the Bali collection is handcrafted in Indonesia by skilled artisans using techniques passed down through generations. Small variations in pattern, weave and finish are part of the character — no two are identical.

5. How do I store my Bali parasol over winter?
Take the parasol down at the end of the season, ensure the canopy is fully dry, and store it indoors in a cool, dry place — a garage, shed or cupboard is ideal. Avoid prolonged storage in damp conditions, which can affect both the cotton canopy and the wood frame.

6. What do the heart pendants and tassels mean?
The brass heart pendants and cotton tassels are traditional Balinese motifs. They are long-held symbols of blessing and protection over the space beneath the canopy — a small but meaningful detail that runs through much of Balinese craft and architecture.

7. Do you ship Bali parasols internationally?
