Product Information
Full details
This Outsunny cantilever parasol in blue is designed for homeowners seeking versatile and stylish sun protection for their garden or patio. Its primary benefit is offering extensive shade coverage with a 360-degree rotation and five-position tilt, allowing you to adjust coverage as the sun moves. A key consideration is that while a cross base is included, additional weights are required for stability. The parasol features a durable powder-coated aluminum pole, UV and fade-resistant polyester fabric, and a large 2.45M x 2.45M square canopy.

Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbly.
Ensure the cross base is fully assembled and that adequate weights (sandbags, water weights, or pavers) are securely placed on the base. Check that the pole is firmly seated in the base.
Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant (like silicone spray) applied to the moving parts of the crank might help. Ensure the canopy is not overly taut when trying to operate.
Canopy fabric appears discolored or faded.
While the fabric is UV and fade resistant, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually cause some fading. Follow care instructions for cleaning. Consider closing or covering the parasol when not in use for extended periods.
Tilt mechanism is stuck or not locking.
Ensure no objects are obstructing the tilt joints. Check that the locking pin or mechanism for the tilt is fully engaged. If it feels damaged, contact customer support.
