FAQs
Can I leave the parasol open during a storm?
No, you should always close and secure the canopy during high winds or storms to prevent damage to the ribs or the frame.
What should I fill the base with?
The base can be filled with either water or sand; sand typically provides a higher density and greater stability for windy locations.
Does the LED light require batteries?
The system is solar-powered and uses an integrated battery that charges during the day, so no external batteries are required.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The fabric is designed for outdoor use and provides protection from the sun, but it is best to keep it dry and closed during heavy rainfall.
Can the parasol be moved once filled?
It is significantly heavy once the base is filled; for easier transport, empty the base completely before moving the unit.
How long do the LEDs stay lit?
The duration depends on how much direct sunlight the panel received during the day, typically lasting for several hours after dusk.
Troubleshooting
LED lights are not turning on at night
Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight during the day and check that the connection cable to the battery/switch is securely plugged in.
Parasol feels unstable or wobbles
Check that the base is filled to its maximum capacity with water or sand and ensure the base locking bolts are tightened firmly.
Crank handle is difficult to turn
Check the canopy fabric for any snags or folds that may be blocking the mechanism and ensure no debris has entered the gear housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your parasol involves securing the steel frame to the included water base. Ensure the base is placed on a flat, level surface before filling it with water or sand to achieve the necessary weight for stability.
Care Instructions:
- Wind Management: Always close the parasol when not in use. High winds can catch the large canopy and potentially tip the base or bend the structural ribs.
- Cleaning: Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to clean the canopy fabric. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coated finish on the steel frame.
- Storage: If you live in an area with harsh winters, it is recommended to empty the water base and store the parasol in a dry, covered location to prolong its lifespan.
