Does the parasol come with a base?

How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse and allow to dry completely before storing.
Is the parasol suitable for windy conditions?
The parasol is designed for general outdoor use. For safety and stability, it should be closed and secured during strong winds. A heavy, stable base is recommended.

Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Check the mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the pole is correctly seated in the base. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant on the central pole might help.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that the parasol pole is securely locked into the base. Ensure the base itself is heavy enough and on a level surface. In windy conditions, consider a heavier base or securing the base with sandbags or ties.
Canopy fabric has mold or mildew spots
Mix a solution of mild soap and water, or a 1:10 bleach to water solution for stubborn spots. Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow the canopy to air dry completely before closing.
Color is fading
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged intense UV exposure can cause fading over time. To minimize this, close and store the parasol when not in use for extended periods, especially during peak sun hours.
