Full details

This 2.3M Tilting Garden Parasol from Harbour Housewares is designed for homeowners seeking stylish and effective sun protection for their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit lies in the effortless setup and adjustable canopy, allowing for optimal shade throughout the day.

FAQs

What size base do I need for this parasol?

You will need a parasol base designed to accommodate a 3.5cm diameter pole. The base should also be sufficiently weighted for stability.

Is the parasol waterproof?

The canopy is made from 160gsm fabric which is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand light showers. It is not fully waterproof and should be closed and stored during heavy rain.

How do I clean the parasol canopy?

You can clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely before folding and storing.

Can I leave the parasol out overnight?

It is not recommended to leave the parasol out overnight, especially in areas prone to wind or dew, as this can cause damage or mildew. It's best to close and store it when not in use.

What does UPF50+ mean?

UPF50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. This rating indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.

How high can the canopy be tilted?

The canopy can be tilted up to approximately 30 degrees using the push-button mechanism.

Does the parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol is sold without a base. A suitable parasol base needs to be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Parasol won't open or close smoothly

Check that the pole is fully inserted into the base and that there are no obstructions in the crank mechanism. Ensure the fabric is not snagged.

Tilt mechanism is stiff or not holding position

Ensure the push-button is fully engaged when tilting. Check for any debris around the tilt joint. Persistent issues may indicate a need for replacement parts.

Parasol feels unstable in a slight breeze

Verify the parasol base is heavy enough and properly secured. Ensure the air vents are not blocked and that the canopy is fully closed when not in use during windy conditions.

Water pooling on the canopy

While water-resistant, prolonged heavy rain may lead to some pooling. Ensure the canopy is slightly tilted to allow water to run off, and dry thoroughly before storage.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible parasol base (sold separately) with a pole sleeve of at least 3.5cm diameter.
  2. Insert the parasol pole into the base and secure it firmly according to the base manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Open the parasol canopy using the hand crank located on the pole. Rotate the crank clockwise until the canopy is fully open.
  4. To tilt the canopy, locate the push-button mechanism on the pole (typically just below the canopy). Press the button and adjust the canopy to your desired angle.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a stable parasol base suitable for a 3.5cm diameter pole.
  • Ideal for patios, decks, and garden areas.

Care:

  • Clean the canopy fabric periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Allow the parasol to dry completely before storing it in the carry bag to prevent mildew.
  • In periods of strong wind or rain, or when not in use, close the parasol and store it in its carry bag.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to prolong its lifespan.
