Product Information

Full details

The B&Q Aluminium Crank And Tilt Parasol is ideal for homeowners looking to create flexible, UV-protected shade in their gardens, whether over dining sets, paddling pools, or lawn seating areas. It offers the key benefit of effortless adjustment via its integrated crank and tilt mechanism, making it highly versatile for tracking the sun throughout the day; however, users should note that a heavy-duty weighted parasol base (not included) is required to ensure stability during windy conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this parasol include a base?

No, the base is not included and must be purchased separately to ensure stability.

What is the diameter of the canopy?

The canopy has a diameter of 2.7 meters when fully extended.

Can I leave this outside in the rain?

While the polyester canopy is durable, it is recommended to keep the parasol closed during heavy rain and high winds to prevent damage.

How do I tilt the canopy?

Once the parasol is fully opened, use the integrated tilt button or collar located on the upper pole to adjust the angle.

Is the frame rust-proof?

The frame is made of aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust and ideal for long-term outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is wobbling in the base

Ensure the base locking knob is fully tightened and that the pole diameter matches the base sleeve inserts.

Crank handle is stiff or difficult to turn

Check that the canopy fabric is not snagged on the support ribs and ensure the internal cable is not obstructed by debris.

Parasol tilts unintentionally

Verify that the tilt locking pin or collar is fully engaged in the upright position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless crank opening mechanism
  • Adjustable tilt for custom sun blocking
  • Lightweight and rust-resistant aluminium frame
  • UV40+ protection for safe outdoor lounging
  • Vented top design for increased stability

Cons

  • Base not included and must be purchased separately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your parasol, insert the central pole into a compatible weighted parasol base that matches your surface type. Ensure the locking screw on the base is tightened securely to prevent the pole from rotating.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the aluminium frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Clean the polyester canopy using a soft brush and water; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: Always close the parasol when not in use. For long-term seasonal storage, keep it in a dry, covered area or use a protective parasol cover to prevent fabric fading.
  • Safety: Never leave the parasol open unattended in windy weather, as gusts can damage the structural integrity of the frame.
