FAQs
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, the base is not included and must be purchased separately.
Can I leave this outside during winter?
It is highly recommended to store the parasol indoors or under a waterproof cover during winter to protect the fabric and components.
What is the diameter of the canopy?
The canopy has a diameter of 2 meters.
How does the tilt function work?
There is a hinge located just above the crank handle; push the button or rotate the collar to angle the canopy head.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The 180g polyester provides shade and UV protection, but it is not intended for use as a heavy-duty rain shelter.
Troubleshooting
The crank handle feels stiff or stuck
Ensure there is no debris inside the housing and ensure the canopy fabric is not caught in the ribs before operating.
The parasol sways too much in a light breeze
Check that your parasol base is heavy enough and the pole is tightened securely within the base sleeve.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant aesthetic that stands out from standard garden parasols
- Easy-to-use crank system
- Flexible fibreglass ribs provide better resistance to wind gusts
- Adjustable tilt angle for targeted sun protection
Cons
- Parasol base must be purchased separately
- The 2m diameter is best suited for small to medium patio sets
- Requires proper storage in winter to maintain fabric integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward thanks to the two-piece pole design; simply slot the two sections together until the locking mechanism engages. For safety, ensure the pole is securely placed inside a heavy-duty parasol base that is compatible with the pole diameter. Always close and fold the parasol during high winds or heavy storms to prevent damage. To maintain the 180g polyester canopy, clean periodically with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, allowing it to air dry completely before storing in a cool, dry place during the winter months.
