FAQs
What is the recommended base weight for this parasol?
While not specified, we recommend using a heavy and stable parasol base, typically weighing at least 20-25 kg, to ensure adequate stability, especially in breezy conditions.
Can this parasol be used in the rain?
The parasol offers some rain protection, but its fabric is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a waterproofing spray for better performance in heavier rainfall and retracting the parasol during storms.
How do I clean the parasol cover?
The polyester cover can be cleaned using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before closing or storing.
What are the overall dimensions of the parasol when open?
The overall dimensions are approximately 150 cm wide by 200 cm deep, with a height of 235 cm.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol does not include a base. A separate parasol base or a table with a central umbrella hole is required for setup.
What material is the frame made of?
The frame consists of a strong wooden pole and 6 durable ribs, with laminated bamboo also used in the construction.
Is the color 'Grey' accurate to the product?
The product description specifies the cover color as 'Anthracite', which is a dark shade of grey.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable in wind
Ensure the parasol is placed in a heavy, stable base or securely fitted into a table. Check that the air vent is open to allow wind to pass through. For strong winds, retract the parasol.
Pulley system is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions in the pulley mechanism. Ensure the canopy is fully closed and aligned correctly. Light lubrication on moving parts might help, but ensure it is suitable for outdoor use.
Cover material seems to be losing water repellency
Apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor fabrics. Follow the product instructions for application and drying time. Reapply annually or as needed.
Wooden pole shows signs of wear
Treat the wooden pole periodically with a suitable wood sealant or oil to protect it from weathering and prolong its life. Ensure the product is safe for use in contact with fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The parasol is designed for easy assembly. Secure the pole into an appropriate parasol base or insert it through the center hole of your outdoor table. Use the single pulley system to raise and lower the canopy.
Compatibility: The 38 mm pole diameter is standard and fits most common parasol bases and outdoor dining tables designed to accommodate umbrellas.
Care: The polyester cover is easy to clean with a damp cloth. For prolonged life and to ensure water repellency, it is recommended to treat the fabric with a waterproofing spray, especially if the parasol will be exposed to significant rainfall. Store the parasol in a dry place when not in use for extended periods to prevent wear and tear. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to avoid mildew.
