Full details

This Christow 2.4m Tilting Parasol in sage green is designed for patio users seeking stylish sun protection. Its key benefit is the easy-to-use crank handle and tilt mechanism for optimal shade throughout the day. A significant caveat is that a parasol base is not included and is essential for stability. This parasol features a durable aluminium pole, a UPF 30+ rated polyester canopy, and an air vent for wind resistance and ventilation.

FAQs

What is the diameter of the aluminium pole?

The aluminium pole has a diameter of 38mm.

Does this parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol base is not included and must be purchased separately. We recommend an 11kg base for use with a table or a 25kg base for freestanding use.

How do I clean the canopy?

The canopy panels are removable. You can hand wash them with a mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching or closing the parasol.

What is the UPF rating of the canopy?

The canopy has a UPF 30+ rating, which provides excellent protection against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

What is the weight of the parasol itself?

The parasol weighs approximately 3.9kg.

Can I leave this parasol out in strong winds?

While the air vent helps reduce wind pressure, it is not designed for use in strong winds. Always close the parasol when not in use or if high winds are expected to prevent damage and ensure safety.

How do I tilt the parasol?

There is a lever on the pole that allows you to tilt the canopy at an angle for enhanced shade.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbles.

Ensure a sufficiently heavy parasol base is used (minimum 11kg with a table, 25kg freestanding). Check that the pole is securely locked into the base.

Crank handle is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions in the crank mechanism. Ensure the canopy ribs are fully extended and aligned. Lubricate the mechanism sparingly if needed.

Canopy material seems loose or damaged.

Inspect the panel attachments. If panels are removable for washing, ensure they are reattached correctly. For significant damage, contact customer support.

Air vent flap is not sitting correctly.

Gently adjust the air vent flap to ensure it is aligned with the opening. It should allow air to pass through freely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Parasol Base: Requires a separate parasol base. Christow offers compatible bases. Use an 11kg base when using with a garden table, or a 25kg base for freestanding use.
  • Pole Diameter: The 38mm pole is designed to fit standard parasol bases.

Care:

  • Canopy Cleaning: The 180g polyester canopy panels are removable. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water. Hang dry completely before closing or storing.
