FAQs
What is the diameter of the parasol canopy?
The parasol canopy has a diameter of 300cm (approximately 9.8 feet).
Does the base come with the parasol?
The parasol includes a large cross-shaped base, but it does not come with weighting material. You will need to add weight (e.g., sandbags, water weights) to the base for stability.
How do I adjust the tilt angle?
The parasol can adjust its tilt angle according to the position of the sun. The mechanism for adjusting the tilt is typically operated manually by hand on the pole.
Can this parasol be rotated?
Yes, this cantilever parasol can rotate 360° around its base, offering flexible shade positioning.
What is the fabric made of and how does it protect from the sun?
The fabric covering is made of 180g/m² polyester, which is water-repellent and protects you from dangerous UV radiation.
How heavy is the parasol itself?
The parasol weighs approximately 11.5 kg.
Is assembly required?
Yes, some assembly is required, primarily connecting the pole sections and setting up the base with weights.
Troubleshooting
Parasol won't open or close smoothly.
Check that the crank mechanism is free of debris. Ensure the pole sections are fully connected and that no part of the canopy fabric is snagged. Lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary.
Parasol feels unstable.
Increase the weight on the cross-shaped base. Ensure the base is on a level surface. Use the adjustable fixing strap to secure the parasol against rotational movement.
Water pooling on the canopy.
The fabric is water-repellent, but prolonged standing water can occur. Ensure the top vents are clear to allow airflow and help drying. Promptly dry the canopy after rain if possible.
Canopy fabric is faded.
While the fabric offers UV protection, prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Consider using the included cover or storing the parasol when not in use to prolong its color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly involves connecting the pole sections and attaching the canopy. The cross-shaped base needs to be weighted down. Ensure the base is on a flat, stable surface before proceeding. The crank handle is used to open and close the canopy. Attach the wind strap securely when needed.
Compatibility: This parasol is designed for outdoor use on patios, decks, or gardens. The cross-shaped base requires separate weighting material (e.g., sandbags, water weights, concrete slabs) which are not included. Ensure the chosen weighting is sufficient for your local conditions, especially wind.
Care: To clean the polyester canopy, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the parasol in the included transportation bag when not in use for extended periods, ensuring it is completely dry to prevent mold and mildew. Protect the fabric from prolonged exposure to harsh weather when not in use.
