Product Information
Full details
The vidaXL Garden Parasol is designed for homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts who want a reliable, stylish shade solution for their patio or lawn. Its primary benefit is the combination of UV-protective, anti-fade polyester fabric and a sturdy 48mm wooden pole, providing long-lasting sun protection for garden gatherings. The main caveat is that it requires a stable base or a compatible table to maintain balance in windier conditions.

FAQs
Is the parasol base included?

Does the fabric protect against UV rays?
Yes, it is specifically crafted from UV-protective polyester to shield your skin.
What is the diameter of the pole?
The wooden pole has a diameter of 48mm.
Can I leave this out during winter?
It is highly recommended to store the parasol in a dry, covered area during winter to extend the lifespan of the wood and fabric.
How do I clean the wooden pole?
Wipe with a soft cloth and apply a wood treatment or oil annually to maintain the finish and prevent weather damage.
Will the red color fade in the sun?
The fabric features anti-fade properties to minimize color loss, though some natural fading may occur over many years of heavy sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
Parasol sways in light wind
Ensure the pole is tightened securely within the base or table and that the base itself is heavy enough for the size of the canopy.
Fabric looks dull or dirty
Wipe down the canopy with a damp cloth and a very mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the UV protection.
Pole feels stuck when adjusting
Check the locking mechanism for debris or sand; wipe the pole clean and ensure the pin is fully retracted before sliding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the parasol, insert the lower half of the pole into your chosen stand or table mount and then slide the upper canopy section into the lower pole, securing it with the provided locking pin or screw mechanism. The parasol is compatible with most standard patio tables that accommodate 48mm diameter poles. To care for the wooden pole, apply a wood preservative or oil at the start of every season to prevent drying or cracking. For the canopy, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; ensure the fabric is completely dry before folding or storing it away for the winter to prevent mold and mildew growth.
