Full details

This VOUNOT 3m Cantilever Garden Parasol is designed for homeowners seeking to create comfortable, shaded outdoor living spaces. Its key benefit is the adjustable height, tilt, and 360° rotation, allowing precise sun coverage throughout the day. A potential caveat is the need for weighted base for stability, which is not included. The parasol features a crank handle for easy operation, a water-repellent polyester canopy offering UV protection, and a wind strap for added security.

What is the height of the parasol?

Is the base included with the parasol?

What material is the canopy made of?

The canopy is made of 180g/m² polyester fabric, which is water-repellent and offers UV protection.

How do I clean the parasol canopy?

Clean the canopy with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Rinse and allow to air dry completely.

What should I do in windy conditions?

Close the parasol when not in use. Use the included wind strap to secure it against rotational movement, and ensure the base is adequately weighted.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbly

Ensure the cross-shaped base is on a level surface and has adequate weight added. Check that the parasol pole is securely seated in the base.

Crank handle is difficult to turn

Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Ensure the parasol canopy is fully retracted before attempting to open, or fully open before attempting to close. Lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary.

Parasol does not stay tilted

Ensure the tilt adjustment mechanism is properly tightened. Check for any damage to the tilt locking system.

Fabric shows signs of mildew

Clean the canopy with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the parasol is completely dry before closing and storing. Store in a well-ventilated area.
