What is the warranty period?

How do I clean the umbrella canopy?
You can clean the canopy with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Is this umbrella suitable for very strong winds?
While the fiberglass spokes offer good flexibility and strength, it is a folding umbrella and may not perform as well in extreme wind conditions as a larger, non-folding model.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella does not open automatically
Ensure the canopy is fully closed and the shaft is extended. Press the button firmly. If it still doesn't open, check for any obstructions or damage to the mechanism.
Umbrella does not close properly
Press the button to collapse the canopy. You may need to gently push the runner down towards the handle to fully retract the shaft. Check for tangled fabric or bent spokes hindering closure.
Spokes appear bent or damaged
Carefully try to straighten minor bends in the fiberglass spokes. Significant damage may compromise the umbrella's integrity and may require replacement.
Canopy material is torn
Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with fabric glue or strong tape, but this may affect the waterproofness. Significant tears may require canopy replacement or a new umbrella.
