FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
This GardenCo parasol typically requires a base that can accommodate a 38mm pole diameter. It is recommended to use a heavy and stable base, sold separately, to ensure proper support.
How do I clean the fabric of the parasol?
Clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Rinse well and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is the parasol waterproof?
The parasol fabric is UV50 treated for sun protection and designed to be weather-resistant. However, it is not fully waterproof and should be closed and stored during heavy rain to prevent damage and ensure longevity.
What is the diameter of this parasol?
This specific model is the 2m diameter version.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol base is sold separately. You will need to purchase a suitable base to use the parasol.
Can I leave this parasol out in windy conditions?

Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to crank
Ensure the pole is fully seated in the base and check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism. Light lubrication may help if the mechanism feels stiff.
Fabric appears faded
While the fabric is UV50 treated, prolonged extreme sun exposure can still cause some fading over time. Ensure the parasol is stored when not in use to maximize fabric life.
Parasol feels unstable
This parasol requires a heavy and stable base (sold separately). Ensure the base is appropriate for the parasol's size and weight, and that it is placed on a level surface.
Frame shows signs of rust
The frame is powder-coated for weather resistance. If rust appears, clean the area and touch up with a suitable metal paint. Ensure the parasol is dried after rain.
