Troubleshooting
Umbrella is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the pole sections are fully connected and check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Lubricate the joint if necessary, using a small amount of silicone spray.
Umbrella feels unstable in the wind.
Confirm the umbrella is securely fastened to a stable base. Ensure the air vent is open. Consider using a heavier base or securing the base with sandbags for added stability.
Canopy is not fully taut.
Check that all fibreglass ribs are properly seated in their pockets and that the canopy is evenly distributed. Ensure the opening mechanism is fully extended.
Water pooling on the canopy.
Ensure the umbrella is angled slightly to allow water to run off. The PA coating helps repel water, but prolonged pooling can occur if the umbrella is not properly tilted.
