Full details
This Keplin 3M Cantilever Parasol is designed for homeowners seeking ample shade and a clear outdoor space for entertaining or relaxing. Its key benefit is the generous 3-meter coverage and offset design that avoids obstructing your seating area, while a potential caveat is the need for proper base filling for optimal stability.

What material is the canopy made of?

Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbly.
Ensure all four base sections are adequately filled with sand and water to reach the maximum recommended weight (100kg combined). Check that the parasol pole is securely locked into the base.
Crank handle is difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism. Gently try to operate it with slow, steady movements. If resistance persists, ensure the canopy is fully open or closed before attempting to use the crank.
Canopy does not open or close smoothly.
Verify that the canopy is not caught on anything. Ensure the frame ribs are fully extended or retracted. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts of the crank mechanism if necessary.
Water is pooling on the canopy.
While water-repellent, the canopy is not designed to hold standing water. Ensure it is tilted slightly to allow water to run off. It is also advisable to close the parasol during prolonged or heavy rain.
