Product Information
Full details
This grey SONGMICS Garden Parasol Umbrella is designed for homeowners seeking to enhance their outdoor living spaces with both shade and ambiance. Its key benefit lies in its dual functionality: providing UV and light rain protection during the day, and a relaxing atmosphere with solar-powered LED lights at night. A primary consideration is that the umbrella base is not included and must be purchased separately. The parasol features a durable steel frame, a 180 g/m² polyester canopy, and an easy-to-use crank system for opening and closing, along with a convenient tilt adjustment.

FAQs
Is the umbrella base included with this purchase?
No, the umbrella base is not included. A separate, compatible base must be purchased.
What size umbrella base do I need?
The pole diameter is 1.5 inches (38 mm). You will need a base designed to accommodate this pole size and provide sufficient weight for stability.
How do I clean the canopy?
Gently wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
How long do the solar LED lights last?
The duration the LED lights last on a full charge depends on the amount of sunlight they receive during the day. On average, they can provide ambient lighting for several hours after a full day's charge.
Can this umbrella be used in windy conditions?
It is strongly recommended to close the parasol during windy days to prevent damage to the frame and canopy. It is designed for light breezes and calm weather.
What are the dimensions of the umbrella?
The curvature of the umbrella surface is 83 inches (210 cm), the diameter of the canopy is 79 inches (200 cm), and the product height is 85 inches (217 cm).
What is the material of the frame and canopy?
The frame is made of steel, and the canopy is constructed from 180 g/m² polyester fabric.
Troubleshooting
Parasol will not open or close smoothly.
Ensure the crank mechanism is clear of debris. Open and close the umbrella slowly and gently, especially when first using it, to avoid stressing the tilt mechanism. Check if any part of the canopy or ribs are obstructed.
LED lights are not working or dim.
Verify that the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for several hours. Check the on/off switch if applicable. Allow a full day of charge before expecting optimal performance.
Umbrella feels unstable.
This usually indicates an insufficient or incompatible base. Ensure you are using a weighted base suitable for the umbrella's size and that it is properly secured. For added stability, consider a cross-base with sandbags or heavy pavers.
Canopy fabric shows signs of wear or fading.
While the polyester offers UV protection, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can cause fading. For extended life, retract the umbrella during severe weather and consider covering it when not in use. Clean gently as per care instructions.
