FAQs

Is a parasol base included with this umbrella?

No, a parasol base is not included and must be purchased separately. A suitable base is essential for stability and safe use.

What is the material of the parasol canopy?

The canopy is made from durable 180g polyester fabric, which is water-repellent and offers UV protection.

How do I adjust the angle of the shade?

You can adjust the angle of the shade using the push-button tilt function, which allows the canopy to be tilted up to 45 degrees.

What are the dimensions of the parasol?

This specific model has a canopy diameter of 2.3 meters.

Can this parasol be used in the rain?

The canopy is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain. However, for heavy rain or prolonged exposure, it is best to close and store the parasol. Ensure it is fully dried before storing.

How should I clean the parasol canopy?

For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse well and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

What is the frame of the parasol made from?

The parasol features a strong and durable steel construction for the pole and supporting ribs.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the crank mechanism is free from debris. Check that the pole is straight and not obstructed. Lubricate the crank mechanism sparingly if necessary.

Tilt function is stiff or not engaging.

Check the push-button mechanism for obstructions. Ensure the canopy is fully extended before attempting to tilt. Avoid forcing the mechanism.

Parasol is unstable.

This is likely due to an inadequate or unsecured parasol base. Ensure you are using a sufficiently heavy and stable base, properly secured to the parasol pole.

Canopy material has mildew.

Ensure the canopy is fully dry before storing. Clean affected areas with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely in the sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a suitable parasol base (sold separately). The base is crucial for stability and safety.
  2. Insert the parasol pole into the designated slot in the parasol base.
  3. Tighten any securing mechanisms on the base to hold the pole firmly.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Canopy: For light cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing.
  • Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dust or dirt.
  • Storage: When not in use, especially during adverse weather conditions (strong winds, heavy rain, or winter months), it is recommended to close the parasol and store it in a dry place to prolong its lifespan. Consider using a parasol cover.
  • Important: Always ensure the parasol is closed and secured when unattended or in anticipation of wind.
