Can this parasol withstand strong winds?

Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close.
Check that the crank mechanism is clear of debris. Ensure the pole is fully inserted into the base and that the base is stable. Lightly lubricate the crank mechanism if needed.
Parasol feels unstable in light breezes.
Verify that a sufficiently weighted base is being used. Ensure the base is on a level surface. The top vent should be open to allow air to escape.
Canopy fabric has minor stains.
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Crank handle is stiff.
Inspect the crank mechanism for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the crank.
