FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
A weighted parasol base designed for poles up to 5.8cm in diameter is recommended. The specific weight required depends on wind conditions, but a substantial base (e.g., 40kg+) is generally advised for cantilever parasols.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol base is sold separately. The recommended compatible model is DG269.
How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before closing or storing.
Can this parasol be left outside in the rain?
While durable, it is best to close the parasol and store it during heavy rain or strong winds to prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.
What are the dimensions of the steel pole?
The steel pole has a diameter of 5.8cm.
How heavy is the parasol itself?
The parasol weighs 20.3kg.
Can the canopy be removed for cleaning or storage?
The product description does not specify if the canopy is removable. Please refer to the assembly instructions or contact customer support for detailed information on canopy removal.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbles.
Ensure the parasol is correctly and securely fitted into its base. Verify the base is weighted sufficiently for the parasol's size and consider adding extra weight if necessary. Check that the pole is firmly secured within the base.
Crank handle is difficult to turn.
Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism or canopy fabric. Ensure the parasol is fully open or closed before attempting to force the handle. Light lubrication on moving parts might help, but use sparingly and ensure it does not attract dirt.
Canopy fabric is discoloured or has mildew.
Clean the canopy fabric with a mild soap and water solution. For mildew, a diluted vinegar solution can be effective, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Ensure the parasol is fully dry before closing and storing.
Parasol does not tilt or rotate smoothly.
Inspect the tilt and rotation mechanisms for any debris or obstructions. Ensure all locking mechanisms are fully released before attempting to adjust. If the mechanism feels stiff, gently check for any binding points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a suitable parasol base (Model No. DG269 recommended) with adequate weight for stability.
- Assemble the parasol according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically involving inserting the pole into the base.
- Secure the parasol within the base mechanism.
Compatibility:
- The parasol is designed to be used with a weighted base, sold separately. Ensure the base is compatible with a 5.8cm diameter pole.
- While designed for outdoor use, it is recommended to close the parasol during high winds or adverse weather conditions to prevent damage.
Care:
- Canopy: Clean the canopy fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the fabric. Allow to dry completely before closing.
- Pole & Ribs: Wipe down the steel pole and ribs with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Check for any signs of rust and address as needed.
- Storage: For long-term storage, especially during winter months, it is advisable to remove the canopy (if possible per design) or at least close and cover the parasol securely to protect it from the elements.
