FAQs

What are the dimensions of the closed parasol for storage?

The parasol folds down and fits into a matching carry bag, making it compact for storage. Specific closed dimensions can be found in the product manual or by measuring the bag.

What is the diameter of the parasol pole?

The parasol features a sturdy 3.5cm diameter steel pole.

How much does the base weigh or what are its dimensions?

The set includes a base designed for stability. For specific weight or dimensions, please refer to the product packaging or manual. It's recommended to add extra weight for windy conditions.

Is the fabric waterproof or just water-resistant?

The canopy is made from 160gsm fabric that is water-resistant. It is suitable for light showers but not designed for prolonged heavy rain.

Can I use this parasol without the included base?

While the set includes a compatible base, the 3.5cm pole is designed to fit standard parasol bases. However, using the included base ensures optimal stability and compatibility.

What is the maximum tilt angle?

The parasol can be tilted up to 30° using the integrated push-button functionality.

How do I clean the fabric canopy?

Gently wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before closing or storing.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the crank mechanism is free of debris. Check that the pole is correctly seated and not obstructed. Lubricate the crank mechanism sparingly if necessary.

Parasol feels unstable in a light breeze.

Ensure the base is properly weighted or secured. Close the parasol if the breeze strengthens significantly. Check that the air vents are not blocked.

Water is pooling on the canopy after rain.

The canopy is water-resistant, not waterproof. Ensure the parasol is closed and stored after prolonged or heavy rain to prevent waterlogging and potential damage or mildew.

The tilt mechanism is not working.

Ensure the parasol is fully opened before attempting to tilt. Check the push-button mechanism for obstructions and try again. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

  • Designed with air vents to improve stability in breezy conditions.
  • Includes a base for immediate use.

Cons

  • May require additional weight on the base in very windy areas.
  • Water resistance is suitable for light showers, but prolonged heavy rain may affect the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert the parasol pole into the provided base and ensure it is securely fastened.
  2. For optimal stability, the base may need to be weighted down with sand or water (if applicable to the base design) or placed on a stable surface.
  3. Raise the parasol using the hand crank until fully open.
  4. To tilt, press the push-button mechanism and adjust the canopy angle as desired.

Compatibility:

  • The 3.5cm steel pole is designed to fit most standard parasol bases, but this set includes a compatible base for immediate use.
  • Suitable for patios, decking, gardens, and balconies.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the canopy to dry completely before closing.
  • Storage: When not in use, especially during winter or in adverse weather, close the parasol, secure it with any ties, and store it in the provided carry bag in a dry location.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the pole and crank mechanism for any debris or signs of wear. Ensure the base remains stable.
