Product Information

Full details

The tillvex Rectangular Aluminium Parasol in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking substantial and flexible shade for their outdoor spaces like terraces, balconies, or gardens. Its key benefit is the 360° rotation and adjustable tilt, allowing for precise sun tracking without moving the entire unit. A potential caveat is the need for a stable base (sold separately) to ensure maximum stability, especially in windy conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size base do I need for this parasol?

The product description does not specify the exact base requirement, but it is recommended to use a base that is adequately weighted for a parasol of 330 cm dimensions to ensure stability, especially in windy conditions.

Is the parasol waterproof?

The umbrella cloth is made of durable and weatherproof polyester, offering protection from light rain. However, it is not designed to withstand heavy downpours and should be closed during such conditions.

How do I clean the fabric?

Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Does the parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol does not include a base. A separate, suitable parasol base needs to be purchased.

What is the UV protection rating?

The parasol offers high UV protection up to UPF 50+, blocking up to 98% of harmful UV rays.

Can the tilt angle be fixed in place?

Yes, the tilt angle is infinitely adjustable between 90-135° and can be precisely set using a locking lever.

How easy is assembly?

Assembly is designed to be easy and comfortable, primarily involving inserting the metal rod into a base and using the hand crank for operation.

What are the dimensions of the shaded area?

The umbrella area provides a square shade of 235 x 235 cm.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close

Ensure the hand crank mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the canopy is fully extended or retracted before operating the crank.

Parasol feels unstable in light wind

Verify that the parasol is securely fixed in its base and that the base is heavy enough. Check that the wind protection features are properly engaged.

Fabric is discoloured or stained

Clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn stains, consult fabric care guides for polyester. Always rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Water is pooling on the canopy

Ensure the canopy is slightly tilted to allow water to run off. If significant pooling occurs, it may indicate a sagging issue or insufficient support. Close the parasol during heavy rain.
