FAQs
Does the parasol come with base weights?
No, the package includes the cross base frame, but you will need to purchase heavy weights separately to secure it safely.
Can I leave the parasol open in light wind?
While designed for outdoor use, it is highly recommended to close the parasol in any windy conditions to prevent it from tipping over or suffering structural damage.
Is the fabric waterproof?
Yes, the canopy material is designed to be waterproof and provides UV resistance to protect you and your furniture.
How long do the LED lights last on a full charge?
Performance depends on the amount of sunlight the panel receives during the day, but the 24 LEDs are designed to provide ambient lighting for the duration of a typical evening.
What is the diameter of the pole?
The main pole has a diameter of 48mm, with a bending pole section of 42mm.
Can I replace the LED bulbs?
The LEDs are integrated into the parasol structure. If you experience issues, please refer to the troubleshooting steps provided in this guide.
Troubleshooting
LED lights are not turning on at night
Ensure the solar panel is free from dirt and positioned to receive maximum direct sunlight during the day; check that the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Parasol feels wobbly or unstable
The base requires additional weight. Ensure the cross base is properly secured with heavy concrete slabs or purpose-built parasol weights.
Crank mechanism is stiff
Check for any debris stuck in the gears. Ensure the canopy fabric is not snagged on the frame ribs before operating the crank.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated solar-powered LEDs provide ambient lighting without needing cables
- Cantilever design keeps the central space clear of poles
- Waterproof and UV-resistant canopy fabric for long-term outdoor use
- Easy-to-use crank system makes deployment quick and simple

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup involves attaching the cross base to the main pole assembly. Because the parasol is free-standing, you must add heavy weights (not included) to the cross base to prevent tipping in light breezes. When setting up, ensure the site is level to maintain proper balance.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the canopy and frame with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods or during winter, close the parasol and cover it to protect the fabric from fading and debris.
- Safety: Always close the parasol if you are leaving your home or if weather forecasts indicate strong winds.
