Product Information

Full details

This garden parasol by VidaXL is designed for individuals seeking to create a shaded, comfortable outdoor space. Its key benefit is providing optimal protection from the sun's harmful UV rays with durable, easy-to-clean polyester. A potential caveat to consider is the stability dependent on the hardwood pole and rib construction, which may require secure anchoring in windy conditions. The parasol features UV-protective and anti-fade material, a stable hardwood pole and ribs, a wind vent for air circulation, and a simple pulley system for easy operation.

FAQs

What material is the canopy made of?

The canopy is made of UV-protective and anti-fade polyester.

Does the parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol base is sold separately. A compatible base is required for stability.

How do I clean the parasol canopy?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing.

What is the purpose of the wind vent?

The wind vent allows wind and heat to escape from the top of the parasol, improving stability in moderate breezes and increasing comfort by allowing heat to dissipate.

Can this parasol be used in strong winds?

While the wind vent helps with moderate breezes, this parasol is not designed for strong winds. It is recommended to close and secure it during high winds or storms.

How is the parasol opened and closed?

It features an easy-to-operate single pulley system for opening and closing the canopy.

What are the dimensions of the parasol?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is designed to offer generous shade.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close.

Check that the pulley cord is not tangled or obstructed. Ensure the canopy ribs are fully extended or retracted. Lubricate the pulley mechanism if it seems stiff.

Parasol feels unstable in the wind.

Ensure the parasol is securely fixed in a heavy-duty base. For added stability, consider using ground stakes or weights on the base, especially in exposed locations. Close the parasol during high winds.

Canopy fabric is stained.

Gently clean the fabric with a soft brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing.

Wood pole shows signs of drying out.

Apply a wood protector or oil suitable for outdoor furniture to the hardwood pole. Repeat as needed, especially in dry or hot climates.
