FAQs

What is the diameter of the shaded area?

The parasol opens to nearly 3 meters in diameter, providing a substantial shaded area.

Does the base come pre-filled?

Yes, the included base is filled with 12kg of concrete for stability.

Can the canopy be tilted?

The parasol features three adjustable open positions, controlled by a metal locking pin, but it does not tilt.

Is the canvas material waterproof?

The polyester canvas is water-repellent, offering protection from light rain, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

How often should I maintain the wooden frame?

Regular cleaning is recommended. For optimal preservation, apply a wood protector or oil annually, especially before storing it for the winter.

What colors are available?

This range is available in cream, green, grey, and black finishes.

How is the parasol opened and closed?

It features a convenient pulley system that allows for quick and easy operation.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close.

Check the pulley cord for any tangles or obstructions. Gently work the mechanism to loosen it. Ensure the pole is fully seated in the base.

Parasol feels unstable in a light breeze.

Verify the pole is securely fastened in the base. Consider purchasing a heavier base or using additional weights to secure the existing base.

Canvas has developed mold or mildew.

Open the parasol in a well-ventilated area. Mix a solution of mild soap and water, or a diluted white vinegar solution, and gently scrub the affected areas. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing.

Wood frame shows signs of drying or cracking.

Apply a coat of wood oil or protector specifically designed for outdoor furniture. Ensure the wood is clean and dry before application. Repeat annually or as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Insert the two-piece hardwood pole into the pre-assembled 12kg concrete base. Ensure it is firmly seated.

Secure the canopy by inserting the metal locking pin into one of the three available holes on the pole, corresponding to your desired open position.

For use in windy conditions, consider a heavier base or securing the existing base with additional weights or tie-downs.

Care:

Canvas: Clean the polyester canvas with mild soap and water using a soft brush. Allow it to air dry completely before closing or storing.
Storage: During off-season or periods of high wind, it is recommended to close the parasol and store it in a dry, protected location to prolong its lifespan and maintain its appearance.
