FAQs
What is the weight of the parasol pole?
The product description does not specify the exact weight of the pole itself, but it is constructed from steel, which is noted as being tougher and weightier than aluminum for superior wind-resistance.
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, a parasol base is required and sold separately. A 11kg base is recommended if using with a table, and a 25kg base is recommended if using without a table.
How do I assemble the parasol?
The parasol features two pole sections that screw together easily. Clear instructions are provided with the product.
What material is the canopy made of?
The canopy is made from tough 180g polyester fabric.
What is the purpose of the air vent on the canopy?
The air vent allows heat to circulate more freely, keeping you cooler, and it helps prevent the parasol from being pulled upwards by the wind, improving stability.
Is the steel pole rust-resistant?
Yes, the parasol pole, ribs, and handle are powder-coated for rust-resistance.
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
The canopy diameter is 2.4 meters, and the pole height is 2.4 meters.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the crank handle mechanism is free of debris. Check that the pole sections are screwed together tightly. If the issue persists, inspect the winding mechanism for any visible damage.
Parasol feels unstable in light breeze.
Verify that an adequately weighted parasol base is being used. The recommended weight varies based on use (with or without a table). Ensure the base is on a level surface.
Canopy fabric has a small tear.
For minor tears, a fabric repair patch or strong outdoor fabric glue may be used. For larger tears, consider replacing the canopy or the entire parasol.
Pole sections are difficult to screw together.
Check the threading on both pole sections for any obstructions or damage. Ensure they are aligned correctly before attempting to screw them together.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Canopy: Gently wipe the polyester canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.
