Troubleshooting

Parasol is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the cross base is fully assembled and that the pole is securely inserted. For very windy areas, consider using additional weights on the base or a more substantial anchoring system.

Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions around the mechanism. Lubricate the moving parts slightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines for lubrication.

Fabric is showing signs of wear or fading.

While polyester is durable, prolonged exposure to intense sun can cause fading. Rotate the parasol periodically to ensure even exposure. Consider applying a UV protectant spray designed for outdoor fabrics.

Water is pooling on the canopy during light rain.

Ensure the canopy is taut. If the issue persists, reapply a waterproof spray to the fabric to improve water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly is required for this garden parasol. Ensure all parts are present before beginning. Typically, this involves inserting the pole into the cross base and then attaching the canopy. The crank mechanism should be readily accessible for operation. A cross shape base (100 x 100 cm) is included for stability.

Compatibility:

This parasol is designed for outdoor use. The pole diameter is 48 mm. While the included base provides stability, compatibility with existing heavy bases or securing methods may be considered for exceptionally windy locations.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the fabric canopy with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Waterproofing: For enhanced water resistance, treat the fabric with a suitable waterproof spray periodically, especially before the rainy season.
  • Storage: During strong winds or the off-season, it is recommended to close the parasol and store it in a dry place to prolong its lifespan.
  • Safety: Keep away from open flames. Ensure children do not climb on the parasol or its base.
