FAQs
What are the dimensions of the umbrella?
When closed, the umbrella is 94cm long. When open, it spans 84cm. The rib length is 64cm.
How much does the umbrella weigh?
The Fulton Birdcage Umbrella weighs approximately 530g.
Is the clear PVC material durable?
Yes, the canopy is made from high-grade PVC designed for durability and clear visibility. However, like all PVC, it can be susceptible to punctures if handled roughly.
Can this umbrella withstand strong winds?
The umbrella features an extra-strong fibreglass frame with 8 ribs, which provides good resistance to wind. However, extreme wind conditions can still cause damage.
How should I clean the umbrella?
Wipe the clear PVC canopy with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the benefit of the birdcage design?
The birdcage design offers full coverage of your head and shoulders, providing superior protection from rain and wind, while the transparent material ensures you maintain good visibility.
Is the handle comfortable to hold?
The umbrella features a colour-co-ordinated handle designed for a comfortable grip during use.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella won't open or close smoothly.
Ensure there are no obstructions caught in the ribs or canopy. Check that the mechanism is clean. If stiffness persists, a gentle wiggle may help, but do not force it.
Canopy is creased or has minor wrinkles.
Wrinkles are normal for PVC canopies and will often diminish with use. You can try hanging the umbrella open in a warm, humid environment (like a steamy bathroom) for a short period, then letting it air dry.
Ribs feel loose or bent.
The fibreglass ribs are designed to be flexible. If a rib appears significantly bent, gently try to straighten it. For loose connections, contact customer support if the issue persists.
