Product Information
Full details
The Christow Portable Tassel Parasol is designed for beachgoers, picnickers, and garden enthusiasts seeking a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern functionality. Its primary strength lies in its 2-meter UV50+ canopy, providing generous shade and protection, while the lightweight, two-piece pole design ensures effortless portability for travel. However, prospective buyers should note that while it is robust enough for light garden use, the fabric and structure are not intended for use in high-wind conditions, where the decorative tassels may catch the breeze.

FAQs
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, it features a screw-end pole for use in sand or soft ground. A separate heavy-duty base is required for hard patio surfaces.
What is the diameter of the pole?
The steel pole has a diameter of 38mm.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The canopy is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light splashes, but it is not a waterproof shelter for heavy rain.
Can I leave this outside permanently?
It is not recommended. For the longevity of the tassels and fabric, store the parasol indoors when not in use.
How much does the parasol weigh?
The complete unit weighs 2kg, making it highly portable.
What should I do if the tassels get tangled?
Gently comb through the tassels with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb while the parasol is set up.
Troubleshooting
Parasol wobbles in the sand
Ensure the screw-end is buried deep enough; dig a small hole first if the sand is too dry or loose for the screw to grip.
Tilt mechanism feels stiff
Do not force the button. Ensure the parasol is fully open and the canopy is not under extreme wind pressure before attempting to tilt.
Pole segments are difficult to separate
Check for trapped sand in the locking joint. Gently rinse with fresh water and allow to dry completely before trying to separate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent UV50+ sun protection rating
- Easy-to-operate tilt mechanism for directional shading
- Lightweight and includes a dedicated carry bag
- Secure screw-end base for stability in sand
- Stylish vintage aesthetic with cotton tassel finish
Cons
- Not suitable for use in high-wind environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, connect the two pole segments until the locking mechanism clicks. If installing in sand or grass, hold the bottom pole vertically and rotate it into the ground until it reaches the desired depth. For patio use, ensure you have a compatible 38mm-bore parasol base.
Care Instructions:
- Always allow the canopy to dry completely before packing it into the carry bag to prevent mold and fabric discoloration.
- Shake out sand or debris from the tassels after use.
- Clean the fabric with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soapy water if stained.
- Store in a dry, shaded location during the off-season.
