Product Information
Full details
The JD Williams Shanghai Cantilever Parasol is designed for those seeking ample shade and a stylish outdoor solution for their garden or patio. Its key benefit is the generous 3m diameter coverage and the adjustable canopy angle, allowing you to easily manage sunlight throughout the day. A key consideration is that the cross base requires separate counter weights for stability, which are not supplied with the parasol.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
The Shanghai Cantilever Parasol has a diameter of 3 meters (300cm).
Does it come with weights for the base?
No, the cross base requires counter weights for stability, which are not supplied with the parasol.
How do I adjust the angle of the canopy?
There is a lever located on the pole mechanism that allows you to alter the angle of the canopy.
What material is the canopy made from?
The canopy is made from 180g/m2 dark grey polyester, supported by fiberglass ribs.
What is the warranty period?
The parasol comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
How do I operate the opening and closing mechanism?
It is fitted with a crank handle for easy opening and closing action.
Can this parasol withstand strong winds?
While the frame is sturdy, cantilever parasols can be susceptible to damage in high winds. It is recommended to close the parasol and secure it when not in use or if strong winds are expected.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable
Ensure the cross base is assembled correctly and has sufficient counter weights. Distribute weights evenly.
Crank handle is difficult to turn
Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Ensure the canopy is fully open or closed before attempting to crank further. Lubricate the mechanism sparingly if needed.
Canopy fabric is sagging
Check that the fiberglass ribs are properly seated and not damaged. Ensure the canopy is taut when extended.
Lever for angle adjustment is stiff
Gently try to operate the lever. Ensure no debris is caught in the mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers a large shaded area (3m diameter).
- Adjustable canopy angle provides flexible sun management.
- Easy to open and close with a crank handle.
- Durable powder-coated steel frame and polyester canopy.
- Cantilever design maximizes usable space beneath the parasol.
Cons
- Requires separate purchase of counter weights for the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Assemble the cross base securely.
- Insert the parasol pole into the base.
- Crucially, add appropriate counter weights (not supplied) to the cross base. Recommended weight varies by manufacturer, but typically 100-150kg is needed for stability.
- Extend the canopy using the crank handle.
Compatibility:
The cross base is designed for this specific parasol model. The requirement for counter weights means it's compatible with standard paving slabs, concrete blocks, or dedicated parasol weight systems. Always ensure the chosen weights are secure and evenly distributed.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the canopy is dry before closing if possible.
- Storage: In windy conditions or during winter, close the parasol securely using the crank handle and secure the canopy to prevent damage. Store indoors during harsh weather or the off-season if possible.
- Frame: Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth. Check for any signs of rust and treat with appropriate metal polish if necessary.
