Product Information

Full details

This cantilever garden parasol is designed for homeowners seeking effective sun protection and a versatile shade solution for their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is the 360-degree rotation and tilting capability, allowing you to block the sun from any angle. A key caveat is the recommendation to use a suitable base and treat the fabric with waterproofing spray for heavy rainfall, and regular re-tightening of screws is essential for stability. The parasol features a durable aluminium pole, 8 ribs, a crank mechanism for easy operation, and a double-top canopy for ventilation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of this cantilever parasol?

The main advantage is its cantilever design, allowing 360-degree rotation and tilting, which provides highly adaptable shade coverage without a central pole obstructing your space.

Does the parasol come with a base?

The product information states it includes a cross base (100 x 100 cm). However, it is crucial to ensure this base is sufficient for stability and to use the product only on firm, level ground. For very windy conditions, a heavier or more secure base might be advisable.

How do I maintain the fabric's water resistance?

The fabric is UV protective and anti-fade. For heavy rainfall, it is recommended to treat the umbrella fabric with a waterproofing spray. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will also help maintain its condition.

What should I do about the screws mentioned in the instructions?

The instructions emphasize re-tightening screws 2 weeks after assembly and then every 3 months to ensure the product's stability throughout its lifespan. Do not fully tighten screws until all are in place during initial assembly.

Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?

The parasol should not be used during periods of high winds and rain. Always close the sunshade if the wind rises above a 'moderate breeze', or if there is snowfall or rain, to prevent personal injury and/or damage.

What are the overall dimensions and weight?

The overall dimensions are approximately 400 cm in length, 300 cm in width, and 274 cm in height. The product weighs 21.5 kg.

Is this product suitable for commercial use?

No, this product is intended for domestic use only.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbly.

Ensure the parasol is placed on firm, level ground. Verify that the cross base is properly assembled and the parasol pole is securely fitted. Re-tighten all screws, especially those on the base and pole connection, as per the recommended schedule.

Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions around the mechanism. Ensure the parasol canopy is evenly spread. Lightly lubricate the moving parts of the crank mechanism if necessary.

Parasol cover shows signs of wear or fading.

This is normal wear over time. For extended protection, consider applying a fabric protector spray annually. Store the parasol with a cover when not in use.

Parasol does not provide adequate shade.

Adjust the tilting mechanism and rotate the parasol to the optimal angle to block the sun effectively. Ensure the parasol is fully opened.

Parasol cover collects water or leaks after rain.

Treat the fabric with a waterproofing spray, especially if it has been a long time since the last treatment or if the parasol is frequently exposed to heavy rain. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before closing and storing.
