Product Information
Full details
This green garden parasol from VidaXL is designed for homeowners looking to create a shaded outdoor space for relaxation and protection from the elements. Its primary benefit is providing ample shade with a large diameter and UV-resistant material, shielding you from sun and light rain. A potential caveat is the need for a stable base, which is included but requires proper assembly for maximum security. Key features include its durable aluminium construction, easy crank mechanism, and dirt- and water-repellent polyester fabric.

Troubleshooting
Parasol is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the cross base is fully assembled and properly weighted (with sand or water). Verify the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base. Check that the parasol is on a level surface.
Crank mechanism is difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions preventing the canopy from opening or closing smoothly. Ensure the pole is correctly seated in the base. Lubricate the crank mechanism lightly if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines if available.
Canopy fabric has a stain.
Gently wipe the stained area with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Parasol does not close completely.
Ensure there are no objects caught in the canopy fabric or frame. Try operating the crank handle slowly and check for any resistance. Manually assist in closing if needed, ensuring not to force it.
