Product Information
Full details
The Sweeek Calvi Half Parasol is an ideal shading solution for apartment dwellers and homeowners with limited outdoor space, such as balconies or narrow terraces. By design, it sits flush against a wall, maximizing your usable floor area while offering reliable UV50 sun protection. While it provides excellent coverage with its 250cm diameter canopy, users should be aware that a compatible half-moon base must be purchased separately to ensure the structure remains stable during breezy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Calvi parasol, insert the lower pole section into your chosen half-moon base and secure it with the tightening screw. Connect the upper canopy section, ensuring the locking mechanism is engaged. For care, keep the fabric clean by brushing off loose debris and wiping with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the UV coating. We strongly recommend using a protective cover when not in use during the off-season. Because the pole diameter is 38mm, ensure your base is compatible with this specific dimension to avoid wobbling.
