FAQs

Is a base included with the parasol?

No, a suitable base is required and must be purchased separately to ensure stability.

How do I clean the parasol canopy?

The polyester canopy can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water and allow it to dry completely.

What is the diameter of the parasol pole?

The pole diameter is 38 mm.

Can this parasol be used in the rain?

The parasol is not 100% waterproof. While it offers some protection, it is not recommended for use in heavy rain. Always close it during rain and consider a waterproof spray for better resistance.

How often should I check the screws?

It is important to re-tighten screws 2 weeks after initial assembly, and then once every 3 months thereafter to ensure continued stability.

What are the overall dimensions of the parasol?

The overall dimensions are approximately 299 cm in diameter and 240 cm in height.

Is the parasol suitable for windy conditions?

The parasol is equipped with a wind vent for stability in moderate breezes. However, it should always be closed and covered in conditions of high winds to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable

Ensure the parasol is placed on firm, level ground and is secured with a sufficiently heavy and appropriate base. Check that all assembly screws are tightened.

Pulley system is stiff or not working

Check for any obstructions in the pulley mechanism. Ensure the canopy is properly aligned. Lubricate the mechanism if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines if available.

Canopy material is dirty

Wipe the canopy gently with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water, then rinse and allow to air dry completely.

Parasol inverts in wind

Close the parasol immediately if winds increase. The wind vent helps with moderate breezes, but high winds require the parasol to be closed and covered.
