Full details
This vidaXL Garden Parasol is designed for anyone seeking reliable outdoor shade and protection from light rain. Its primary benefit is offering easy-to-adjust, robust shelter for patios, gardens, or balconies. A minor caveat is its primary function being shade; heavy downpours may not be fully managed. Key features include waterproof polyester fabric, a sturdy steel pole, reinforced ribs for stability, and a convenient crank handle for operation.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
The parasol has the following dimensions: Height: 213 cm, Width: 223 cm, Depth: 223 cm.
What material is the canopy made of?
The canopy is made of waterproof polyester.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol does not include a base. A separate, heavy parasol base is required for stability.
How do I operate the parasol?
You operate the parasol using a simple crank handle mechanism located on the pole, which allows for easy opening, closing, and shade adjustment.
What is the weight of the parasol?
The parasol weighs 5.5 kg.
Can this parasol be used in strong winds?
It is recommended to close the parasol during strong winds to ensure stability and prevent damage.
How should I clean the canopy?
Wipe the polyester canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and allow it to dry completely before closing.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbles.
Ensure the parasol is secured in a heavy, stable base. Check that the pole is correctly seated and tightened within the base.
Crank handle is difficult to turn.
Check for any obstructions or debris around the crank mechanism. Gently try to operate it; do not force it. Ensure the canopy ribs are fully extended and aligned.
Canopy does not open or close smoothly.
Verify that the canopy fabric is not tangled around the ribs. Ensure all ribs are properly aligned and the mechanism is free of debris.
Water is pooling on the canopy after rain.
Ensure the parasol is properly angled or that the base allows for slight drainage. If significant pooling occurs, it may indicate the waterproof coating is compromised or the fabric is overstretched.
