Full details
The Monstershop 3M Cantilever Parasol is an ideal solution for homeowners and garden enthusiasts looking to create a comfortable, shaded outdoor dining or lounging space. It offers the key benefit of a side-post design that keeps your central area clear of obstructions, allowing for versatile furniture placement. While it provides excellent coverage and UV protection, it is important to note that a heavy weighted base is required for stability and must be purchased separately to ensure safe, freestanding use.

FAQs
Is the base included with the parasol?
No, the weighted base is not included and must be purchased separately to ensure safe operation.
Can I leave this out in the rain?
The canopy is water-resistant, but it should be closed and covered with the included rain cover during heavy rain or wind.
What is the diameter of the canopy?
The canopy provides a 3-meter diameter of shade.
Can the angle of the parasol be adjusted?
Yes, the cantilever arm allows for adjustable positioning to follow the path of the sun.
How do I clean the beige fabric?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot clean the canopy.
Is the frame rust-resistant?
The frame is made from powder-coated carbon steel, which offers good resistance to rust and weather corrosion.
Troubleshooting
The parasol feels wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the cross-base is weighted with at least 50-80kg of weight, depending on wind exposure.
The crank mechanism feels stiff.
Check for debris in the gear mechanism and apply a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Water pooling on the canopy.
Ensure the tilt angle is set correctly so that water can run off the fabric edge rather than settling in the center.
