FAQs

What is the total height of the ground sleeve?

The ground sleeve has a total height of 57 cm.

Do I need any tools to install it?

What is the maximum pole diameter it can hold?

The ground sleeve accommodates tube diameters ranging from 25 mm to 65 mm. Specific diameters supported with reducing rings include Ø 24 mm, 38 mm, 42 mm, 50 mm, and 55 mm.

What material is it made from?

It is made from durable, thermally galvanized steel for rust resistance.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the ground sleeve, reducing rings, a screw rod for assembly, a plastic cap, and a rain protective cover.

Can this be used in very hard or compacted soil?

It is best suited for relatively soft or moist ground. Installation may be difficult in very hard, dry, or rocky soil.

How do I ensure the pole is securely fixed?

Ensure the ground sleeve is fully screwed into the ground and that the pole fits snugly within the sleeve or with the correct reducing ring. Tighten any securing screws if applicable to your pole.

Troubleshooting

Ground sleeve is difficult to screw into the ground.

Ensure the ground is adequately moist. If the soil is very hard or rocky, choose an alternative location or consider pre-loosening the ground with a spade.

Parasol or dryer pole feels wobbly.

Verify that the correct reducing ring is used and that it fits snugly. Ensure the main screw rod is fully anchored into the ground and the sleeve is not loose.

Water collects inside the sleeve.

Make sure the plastic cap or rain protective cover is used when the pole is not installed. Ensure the sleeve is not installed at an angle that allows pooling.

Reducing ring is lost.

Contact the manufacturer or retailer for replacement parts. Note the specific diameter needed.
