Product Information
Full details
This Outsunny 360 Degree Cantilever Umbrella in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking robust and flexible shade solutions for their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is the 360-degree rotation, allowing continuous shade adjustment throughout the day without repositioning the base. A potential caveat is the need for a stable base (sold separately) to prevent tipping in windy conditions. This umbrella features a durable aluminum pole, water-resistant polyester canopy with a double-tier top for ventilation, and an easy-to-use crank mechanism.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for this umbrella?
Please refer to the product packaging or retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Does the base come with the umbrella?
No, the base for this cantilever umbrella is sold separately. A heavy, specifically designed cantilever base is required for stability.
How do I clean the polyester canopy?
Clean the canopy using a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before closing or storing.
Can this umbrella be left outside in all weather conditions?
While the materials are designed for outdoor use, it is strongly recommended to close and store the umbrella during strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage and ensure longevity.
What is the benefit of the double-tier top?
The double-tier top allows air to circulate through the canopy, which helps to reduce heat buildup on hot days and can improve stability in light breezes by allowing wind to pass through.
How much weight should the base have?
For a cantilever umbrella of this size, a base weighing a minimum of 50kg (110 lbs) is typically recommended for adequate stability, especially in outdoor environments where wind can be a factor.
Can I use this umbrella with a standard patio umbrella base?
No, this is a cantilever umbrella and requires a specific cantilever base designed to support the off-center weight and allow for the umbrella's range of motion.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella is difficult to open or close.
Check that the crank mechanism is free of debris. Ensure the canopy is fully extended or retracted before attempting to operate the crank. Lubricate the crank mechanism sparingly if needed.
Canopy does not stay open.
Verify that the locking mechanism, if present on your model, is engaged. Ensure the crank is fully turned to the 'locked' position. Check for any damage to the ribs or canopy fabric.
Umbrella tips over in wind.
This indicates the base is not heavy enough or stable. Use a heavier, appropriate cantilever umbrella base (minimum recommended weight is 50kg/110lbs). Close the umbrella during windy conditions.
Water pools on the canopy.
Ensure the double-tier top is positioned correctly to allow for proper ventilation and drainage. Gently tilt the umbrella to help water run off if needed, but avoid letting water accumulate.
