FAQs
What is the diameter of the wooden pole?
The wooden pole has a diameter of 48mm.
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol does not include a base. A separate, suitable base or a garden table with a center hole is required for stability.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The fabric is UV protective and water-resistant to a degree, suitable for light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof and should be closed during heavy or prolonged rainfall.
How do I clean the white canopy?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and let it air dry completely. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
The parasol has a width of 3.5 meters, providing a large shaded area.
Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?
It is recommended to use this parasol in calm to moderate wind conditions. For safety and to prevent damage, close the parasol during strong winds or gusts.
Will the white color fade in the sun?
The canopy is made from UV protective and anti-fade polyester, designed to resist fading. However, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight may eventually cause some degree of fading over time.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the parasol pole is fully inserted and securely fastened in a heavy-duty base or through a stable table. Check that the base is level and appropriately weighted for the parasol's size.
Fabric seems difficult to clean.
Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn spots, try a gentle brush. Always rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
Wood pole shows signs of weathering.
Apply a protective wood sealant or oil specifically designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance, especially before and after the outdoor season, will help preserve the wood.
Parasol doesn't open or close smoothly.
Check for any obstructions around the pole or canopy mechanism. Ensure the canopy fabric is not caught. If the issue persists, lubricate the moving parts with a silicone-based spray (ensure it's safe for fabric).
