FAQs
What is the diameter of the parasol pole?
The parasol pole has a diameter of 38mm, which is compatible with most standard parasol bases.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol does not include a base. A suitable base must be purchased separately.
How do I clean the parasol fabric?
You can clean the fabric by wiping it with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely.
What does UV50 treatment mean?
UV50 treatment means the fabric offers excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, blocking at least 98% of UV radiation.
Can this parasol be used in the rain?
While the frame is weather-resistant, the fabric is primarily designed for sun protection. It is not recommended to leave the parasol open in heavy rain or strong winds.
What are the dimensions of the parasol when closed?
The dimensions when closed depend on the packaging, but the primary usable dimension is its 2m diameter when open.
Is the aluminium frame prone to rust?
The frame is powder-coated for weather resistance, which significantly reduces the risk of rust. However, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions without proper care can affect it.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism. Ensure the pole is properly seated in the base. Lightly lubricate the mechanism if necessary.
Parasol fabric feels loose or saggy
Ensure the parasol is fully opened and the locking mechanism (if present) is engaged. Check that the pole is vertical and the base is stable.
Frame appears to be rusting or corroding
Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Touch up with a compatible outdoor metal paint if needed. Ensure the powder coating is not compromised.
Parasol base is unstable
Use a base with adequate weight for the parasol size. Ensure the base is placed on a level surface. Consider using a weighted base or securing it if used on a deck.
