Full details
The VOUNOT 3m Cantilever Garden Parasol is designed for homeowners seeking to create a comfortable and shaded outdoor living space. Its key benefit is providing ample, adjustable shade without a central pole obstructing your patio furniture. A potential caveat is the need for a separate, weighted base for stability, which is not included. This parasol features easy opening and closing with a crank handle, adjustable height and tilt, and a water-repellent polyester fabric for UV protection.

Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism or pole. Ensure the fabric is fully dry and not caught. Lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary.
Parasol tilts or rotates unintentionally
Ensure the locking mechanism for tilt and rotation is engaged. Check that the base is sufficiently weighted and stable. Use the adjustable fixing strap to further secure the parasol.
Fabric seems loose or sagging
Ensure all spokes are correctly attached and that the canopy is taut. Check that the crank is fully extended when the parasol is open.
Water is pooling on the fabric
Ensure the parasol is properly tilted to allow water runoff. Check that the top vents are clear. After rain, open the parasol to dry completely.
