Product Information

Full details

This 1.8m beach parasol is an ideal choice for beachgoers, garden enthusiasts, and terrace loungers who need reliable portable shade with a vibrant aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-quality, waterproof polyester construction and effective UV protection, ensuring users stay cool and shielded from harsh rays during summer activities. While it offers excellent portability, users should note that as a lightweight parasol, it requires a secure base or deep sand anchoring to prevent tipping during windier conditions.

FAQs

Is the parasol base included?

No, the parasol is sold as the unit itself. A separate umbrella base is required for use on patios or decks.

How do I protect the parasol from fading?

While the fabric is designed for outdoor use, storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use will significantly extend the color vibrancy.

Can this be used in the rain?

Yes, the polyester fabric is waterproof and will provide shelter from light showers, though it is primarily designed as a sunshade.

What is the diameter of the pole?

The pole is designed to fit most standard-sized universal parasol bases.

Is the height adjustable?

Most models feature a two-part pole system which allows for basic height adjustment by altering how far the upper pole is inserted into the lower section.

Troubleshooting

Canopy will not stay open

Check the locking pin or catch mechanism on the pole to ensure it is fully engaged in the locked position.

Parasol tipping over in the wind

Ensure the parasol is buried deeper into the sand or, if on a hard surface, ensure a weighted stand with at least 15kg of ballast is being used.

Fabric appearing dirty or dull

Use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to gently remove dried dirt, then allow the canopy to air dry fully in a shaded area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soapy water to remove salt spray or garden debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: Always ensure the canopy is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the joints and locking mechanism for signs of sand buildup or corrosion, rinsing with fresh water if necessary.
