FAQs
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, the base must be purchased separately. We recommend a heavy-duty base to ensure stability.
Is the pole height adjustable?
The pole height is fixed, but the canopy angle is designed to provide optimal shade throughout the day.
Can I leave this out in the rain?
The material is moisture-resistant, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain; always close it during storms.
How do I store it for the winter?
It is best to store the unit in a dry, covered space during the winter months to extend the life of the fabric and frame.
Will the grey color fade over time?
The fabric is anti-fade, but like any outdoor product, it will retain color best if closed when not in use.
Troubleshooting
The parasol leans or wobbles during use
Ensure the parasol is tightened firmly into the base and that the base itself is weighted down with heavy stones or concrete slabs.
Difficulty opening the canopy
Check the internal runner mechanism for debris and ensure the ribs are not tangled in the fabric before cranking or sliding open.
Fabric appearing dusty or dirty
Regularly brush off dry dirt and hose down with cold water, allowing it to air dry completely before closing to prevent mildew.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward, typically involving securing the two sections of the aluminium pole and sliding the canopy mechanism into place. Before purchase, check that your existing umbrella base has a standard pole diameter opening that matches the `313870` model specifications. For care, keep the fabric clean by brushing off loose dirt; if it becomes stained, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Always close and secure the umbrella with its ties when not in use or when high winds are forecasted to protect the canopy from damage.
