FAQs

What size base do I need for this parasol?

The parasol pole has a diameter of 3.5cm. You will need a parasol base designed to fit a pole of this size.

Is the parasol waterproof?

The canopy is made from 160gsm water-resistant fabric, which can withstand light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. It is best to close and store the parasol in heavy downpours.

How do I clean the fabric canopy?

You can clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before storing.

What is the UPF rating of the canopy fabric?

The canopy fabric is rated UPF50+, providing excellent protection against harmful UV rays.

Can I leave the parasol open in windy conditions?

The parasol features integrated air vents that help with stability in light to moderate breezes. However, for safety and to prevent damage, it is recommended to close the parasol in strong winds.

Does the parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol does not include a base. A suitable parasol base needs to be purchased separately.

What are the dimensions when the parasol is closed?

When closed, the parasol measures approximately W:15cm x D:15cm x H:120cm.

What is the warranty period for this parasol?

This parasol comes with a 2-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close

Ensure the hand crank mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the pole is securely and vertically inserted into the base. Apply gentle, consistent pressure when turning the crank.

Canopy does not tilt properly

Verify that the push-button mechanism is fully engaged before tilting. Ensure there are no obstructions around the tilt joint. Try closing and reopening the parasol to reset the mechanism.

Parasol feels unstable in light wind

Confirm the parasol is seated securely in its base. Check that the air vents are open. For stronger breezes, it is recommended to close the parasol.

Water is pooling on the canopy

While water-resistant, the canopy is not fully waterproof. Slight pooling may occur. Ensure the parasol is tilted slightly to encourage water run-off. For heavy rain, close and store the parasol.
