Product Information

Full details

This 4-tier garden parasol is designed for homeowners seeking reliable sun and moisture protection for their patios, terraces, or gardens. Its key benefit is providing excellent UV protection and stability with a durable construction. A potential caveat is the need for a separate parasol stand or integration into existing outdoor furniture with a central hole. Key features include UV-protective and anti-fade polyester fabric, a powder-coated aluminum frame, a convenient crank and tilt mechanism for adjustability, and a sturdy cross base for stability.

FAQs

What is the material of the parasol canopy?

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

What are the overall dimensions of the parasol?

The overall dimensions are approximately 250 cm wide by 250 cm deep and 246 cm high (W x D x H).

Does this parasol come with a base?

Yes, it includes an 100 x 100 cm (L x W) cross base. However, for optimal stability, additional weights or a heavier stand may be required.

How do I adjust the angle of the parasol?

The parasol features a tilt mechanism that can be operated via the crank handle. This allows you to adjust the angle of the canopy.

Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?

It is designed for moderate conditions. It is recommended to close the parasol during strong winds to prevent damage.

How do I clean the parasol canopy?

Gently wipe the polyester canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Allow it to air dry completely.

What is the material of the pole and ribs?

The pole and ribs are made of powder-coated aluminum, providing durability and resistance to rust.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbly.

Ensure the parasol is securely fitted into its base. Add weights to the cross base or use a heavier, more substantial parasol stand. Check that the pole is properly secured within the base mechanism.

Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to turn.

Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism. Ensure the canopy fabric is not caught. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to the moving parts of the crank mechanism. Operate it multiple times to distribute the lubricant.

Fabric seems to be fading.

While the fabric is UV-protective and anti-fade, prolonged, direct exposure to intense sunlight can still cause gradual fading. Consider using a parasol cover when not in use or storing the parasol indoors during extended periods of non-use or harsh weather.

Water is pooling on the canopy.

The parasol is designed for UV protection and light moisture. For heavy rain, it is best to close and store the parasol. Ensure the canopy is fully extended and taut to promote water runoff. Do not let water pool excessively, as this can strain the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers good protection from sun and light rain.
  • Sturdy construction with powder-coated aluminum.
  • Easy to open, close, and adjust tilt with crank mechanism.
  • The four-tier design is aesthetically pleasing and functional.
  • Provides substantial shade coverage for outdoor seating areas.

Cons

  • Requires a separate parasol stand (cross base included, but a heavy stand is recommended).
  • Polyester fabric may not withstand heavy rainfall or strong winds.
  • Color may fade over extended periods despite anti-fade treatment.
  • Assembly might require two people for initial setup.
  • The included cross base may not be sufficient on its own without additional weighting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a stable base. The included cross base provides a starting point; however, for optimal stability, especially in windy conditions, consider securing it with weights or a heavier stand.
  2. Insert the parasol pole into the base and secure it according to the base's instructions.
  3. For tables with a central hole, ensure the parasol pole fits snugly.
  4. Extend the parasol by using the crank mechanism.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard parasol bases (ensure the pole diameter is suitable).
  • Can be used with outdoor tables that have a central parasol hole (check hole diameter).
  • Dimensions: Overall 250 x 250 x 246 cm (W x D x H), Cross base 100 x 100 cm (L x W).

Care:

  • Cleaning the Fabric: Gently wipe the polyester canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the aluminum pole and ribs with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
  • Storage: When not in use, especially during harsh weather or off-seasons, close the parasol completely using the crank and cover it with a protective parasol cover (sold separately) or store it indoors to prolong its lifespan.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check all fittings and the crank mechanism for smooth operation. Lubricate the crank if necessary.
