FAQs

What is the UV protection rating of the canopy?

The canopy is rated UV 30+, providing superior protection from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.

What are the dimensions of the shaded area?

The canopy has an outer diameter of 2 meters, and provides approximately 1.8 meters of shade on the underside.

How does the tilting mechanism work?

A push-button located on the pole allows you to easily tilt the canopy left or right to adjust shade and block glare.

Is a base included with the parasol?

No, a base is not included. For stability, we recommend using an anchor screw or a suitable parasol base, especially on non-sandy surfaces.

What is the weight of the parasol for carrying?

When stored in its carry bag, the parasol weighs approximately 1.8kg, making it very light and easy to carry.

Can the pole be detached for storage?

Yes, the pole comes in 2 parts that easily screw together and can be detached for storage in the included carry bag.

What material are the canopy ribs made from?

The canopy ribs are made from fibreglass, which makes them strong, flexible, and lightweight.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbles in the wind.

Ensure the pole is firmly planted in the ground or that a sufficiently heavy and stable parasol base or anchor screw is being used. Check that the pole sections are securely joined.

Canopy does not tilt.

Ensure the push-button mechanism is fully depressed. Check for any obstructions around the tilt joint.

Parasol difficult to insert into the ground.

The ground spike is designed for sand. For harder ground, use a parasol base or an anchor screw.

Mildew or stains on the canopy.

Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to dry completely before folding and storing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly portable for easy transport to various locations.
  • Effective UV protection (UV 30+) for safe sun exposure.
  • Adjustable tilt feature enhances sun glare management.
  • Durable construction with rust-resistant pole and flexible ribs.
  • Includes a convenient carry bag for storage and travel.

Cons

  • Requires a separate parasol base or anchor screw for optimal stability, especially in breezy conditions.
  • The ground spike is best suited for sand and may not be effective on harder surfaces.
  • While durable, the 2-part pole connection relies on a plastic knob which needs careful handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components, including the 2-part pole and canopy.
  2. Screw the two pole sections together, ensuring the plastic connection knob is securely tightened.
  3. If on sand, insert the spiked end of the pole firmly into the ground.
  4. For other surfaces or increased stability, place the pole into a suitable parasol base or use an anchor screw.
  5. Adjust the canopy angle using the push-button tilt mechanism as needed.

Compatibility:

  • The parasol is designed to be used with a compatible parasol base (minimum recommended diameter/weight) or an anchor screw for stability on non-sandy surfaces.
  • The pole diameter is standard for most common parasol bases.

Care:

  • Allow the canopy to dry completely before storing it in the carry bag to prevent mildew.
  • Wipe the canopy clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the parasol in its carry bag in a dry place when not in use.
  • Periodically check the pole connection knob for tightness.
  • Clean the steel pole with a damp cloth to maintain the powder coating.
