FAQs

What size parasol base do I need?

A 11kg base is recommended if you plan to use the parasol with a garden table. If you intend to use the parasol without a table, a heavier 25kg base is recommended for greater stability.

Is a parasol base included with this product?

No, a parasol base is not included with this Christow parasol and must be purchased separately.

How do I operate the crank handle?

To open the canopy, wind the handle one way. To close the canopy, turn the handle the other way. Specific directions are usually marked or can be inferred from the mechanism's movement.

What is the canopy made of?

The canopy is made from 180g polyester, which is chosen for its strength and durability.

Can this parasol withstand strong winds?

The steel construction and the air vent provide good wind resistance for moderate conditions. However, it is strongly recommended to close and secure the parasol during high winds or storms to prevent damage.

How tall is the parasol?

The parasol measures approximately 2.2 meters tall from the bottom of the pole to the top of the canopy.

What are the dimensions of the steel pole?

The steel pole has a diameter of 38mm.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the crank mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the pole sections are securely connected and that the canopy ribs are not obstructed.

Parasol feels unstable in the wind.

Verify that a suitable parasol base is being used and is correctly weighted. Ensure the parasol is fully closed during strong winds.

Rust spots appearing on the pole or ribs.

Wipe the affected area with a soft cloth. Ensure the powder coating is intact. Minor surface rust can often be gently removed. Always ensure the parasol is dry before storing.

Canopy fabric is dirty.

Spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing.
