Its key benefit is the effortless setup and adjustable tilting feature, allowing for continuous shade.

FAQs

What size base do I need for this parasol?

This parasol has a 3.5cm pole diameter and requires a sturdy base. We recommend a base weighing at least 25kg for optimal stability, though heavier bases are advisable in windier locations.

Is the parasol canopy waterproof?

The canopy is made from water-resistant 160gsm fabric, which is suitable for light showers. It is not fully waterproof and should be closed during heavy rain.

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. Avoid harsh chemicals or power washing.

What is the UPF rating of the canopy?

The canopy is rated UPF50+, offering excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Can I leave the parasol up overnight?

It is not recommended to leave the parasol up overnight or during prolonged periods of strong wind or rain, even with the air vents, to prevent potential damage.

Does the parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol does not come with a base. A separate parasol base is required for stability and must be purchased in addition to the parasol.

How does the tilting mechanism work?

The tilting mechanism is operated by a push-button located on the pole. Press the button and gently guide the canopy to your desired angle for customized shade.

Troubleshooting

Parasol won't open or close smoothly

Check for any obstructions in the pole mechanism or canopy fabric. Ensure the crank handle is properly engaged. Lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary.

Parasol feels unstable in a light breeze

Verify that the parasol is securely fixed in a heavy, stable base. Check that the air vents are open and not blocked.

Canopy fabric has developed a mild stain

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.

Tilting mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the push-button is fully depressed. Check for any debris around the tilt joint. Do not force the mechanism; contact customer support if issues persist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure you have a suitable parasol base (sold separately) with a compatible pole diameter (3.5cm).
Insert the steel pole into the base and secure it firmly.
Use the hand crank to slowly open the canopy until fully extended.
To tilt, locate the push-button mechanism on the pole and press it while guiding the canopy to the desired angle.

Compatibility:

The 3.5cm pole is designed to fit most standard parasol bases. Always check the diameter of your base's receiving tube before purchase.
This parasol is intended for outdoor use on stable, level surfaces.

Care:

Cleaning the Canopy: Wipe the fabric gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or power washing, which can damage the UPF coating and water resistance.
Storage: Always ensure the parasol is dry before closing and storing it in the provided carry bag. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and fabric degradation.
Wind and Rain: While designed with air vents, it is recommended to close the parasol during strong winds or heavy rain to prevent damage.
