FAQs
Can I leave the parasol out in the rain?
It is recommended to close and store the parasol during rain or high winds to prevent damage to the fabric and wooden structure.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, a base is not included. You will need to purchase a compatible weighted base separately.
What is the total height of the parasol?
The parasol has a total height of 260 cm.
Is the wooden pole weather-treated?
The pole is crafted from solid wood for rustic appeal, but we recommend applying a wood preservative or sealant if you plan to keep it exposed to the elements for long periods.
How do I clean the cream canopy?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that may bleach or weaken the fabric.
Is the parasol heavy to move?
The construction is designed to be portable, but the solid wood pole adds a degree of weight that makes it sturdy rather than ultra-lightweight.
Troubleshooting
Parasol feels wobbly in the base
Ensure you are using a heavy-duty weighted base compatible with the pole diameter and that the tightening screw is fully engaged.
Canopy is difficult to open or close
Check the manual lift mechanism for debris and ensure the fabric is not caught in the frame struts.
Tassels or bells are tangled
Gently untangle by hand and ensure they hang freely away from the frame structure to prevent further knotting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: The parasol arrives disassembled. Follow the included instructions to securely join the pole segments and attach the canopy frame. Ensure all locking mechanisms are tightened before first use.
Compatibility: This model is compatible with standard weighted parasol bases that support the pole diameter. Always use a stable, heavy-duty base to prevent tipping in light breezes.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the canopy periodically with a soft brush or mild soap and water.
- Regularly inspect the wooden pole for signs of moisture buildup or wear.
- Close the parasol during heavy wind, rain, or when not in use for extended periods.
- Store the parasol in a dry, covered area during the winter season to preserve the wood and fabric.
