Full details
The VidaXL Roma Parasol is designed for homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts looking to enhance their garden or patio with a sophisticated, functional shading solution. Its standout feature is the large, flexible rectangular canopy that offers 360-degree rotation and an intuitive tilting mechanism, ensuring you stay shaded throughout the day as the sun shifts position; however, users should be aware that the substantial size requires a sturdy base and adequate space for full rotation during installation.

FAQs
Does this parasol include a base?
No, the base is generally sold separately. Ensure you purchase a base heavy enough to support a large cantilever-style parasol.
Can I leave the parasol open all year round?
It is not recommended. You should close it during periods of high wind or heavy rain and use a protective cover when it is not in use.
How do I clean the fabric?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the fabric's weather-resistant coating.
What are the dimensions of the canopy?
The canopy provides a shading area of approximately 286 x 285 cm.
Is the rotation really 360 degrees?
Yes, the base mechanism allows for a full 360-degree rotation, enabling you to position the shade anywhere around the central support pole.
Is it easy to assemble alone?
While one person can assemble it, having two people is recommended due to the size and weight of the frame components.
Troubleshooting
Crank handle is difficult to turn
Check the internal rope or cable mechanism for tangles and ensure no debris is stuck in the pulley system.
Parasol wobbles in light wind
Verify that the base weight is sufficient for the parasol size and ensure the locking knobs on the main support pole are fully tightened.
Canopy does not tilt
Inspect the tilting joint for obstructions or dirt buildup; gently wipe and ensure the locking mechanism is disengaged before adjusting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have a compatible, heavy-duty parasol base that can support the weight of the frame and the surface area of the canopy. Assemble the frame components following the provided manual, ensuring all connections are tightened before attaching the canopy.
Compatibility: This model is best suited for flat, level surfaces like stone patios, wooden decking, or concrete pavers. It is not recommended for use on soft or uneven ground unless a ground-anchored base is used.
Care:
- To clean, wipe the canopy and frame with a damp cloth and mild soapy water if necessary.
- Always close the parasol during windy conditions or when leaving your home for extended periods.
- Use a protective parasol cover when the unit is not in use to prevent fading and protect the fabric from rain and debris.
