Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the pulley rope is not tangled and that the metal locking pin is fully disengaged before operating. Check for any obstructions around the pole.

Parasol feels unstable in light breeze.

Verify the concrete base is on a flat, level surface. Ensure the parasol pole is securely seated within the base. For added security in gusty conditions, consider a heavier base or temporary anchoring.

Water is pooling on the canopy.

While water-repellent, the canopy is not designed for standing water. Ensure the parasol is angled correctly or closed to allow water to run off. Prolonged pooling may affect longevity.

Wood frame shows signs of weathering.

Apply a suitable outdoor wood sealant or oil annually to protect the hardwood and maintain its appearance. Store indoors during harsh winter months if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The parasol requires assembly of the frame and attachment to the base. Ensure the base is placed on a level surface before inserting the parasol pole. Secure the parasol using the pulley system and the metal locking pin. The base is pre-filled and ready for use.

Compatibility: This parasol is designed to fit standard parasol bases with a 4cm pole diameter. It is recommended to use the provided 12kg concrete base for optimal stability. Ensure the parasol is compatible with wind conditions in your area; while stable, extreme weather may require it to be closed and stored.

Care: Clean the polyester canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store the parasol closed and dry when not in use for extended periods, especially during winter, to prolong its lifespan. The hardwood frame can be maintained with occasional wood treatments suitable for outdoor furniture.
