FAQs
What size parasol base do I need?
For use with a table, an 11kg base is recommended. If using the parasol freestanding without a table, a heavier 25kg base is advised for optimal stability.
How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse and allow to air dry completely before closing.
Is a parasol base included with this product?
No, a parasol base is required and must be purchased separately.
What is the warranty period for this parasol?
Please refer to the retailer's warranty information for specific details regarding the warranty period for this product.
Can this parasol be left outside in all weather?
While the parasol is designed for outdoor use, it is recommended to close and store it in a dry place during strong winds, heavy rain, or prolonged periods of non-use (like winter) to maintain its condition and longevity.
How tall is the parasol pole?
The parasol pole height is 2.4 meters.
What material is the parasol pole and ribs made from?
The parasol pole and ribs are made from robust, powder-coated steel for enhanced durability and rust resistance.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the two pole sections are fully screwed together. Check the crank mechanism for any obstructions and ensure the canopy is not caught. Lubricate the crank mechanism with a silicone-based spray if needed.
Parasol feels unstable in light wind.
Verify that a sufficiently heavy parasol base is being used. Ensure the base is placed on a level surface. Check that the air vent is open to allow wind to pass through.
Rust spots appearing on the pole or ribs.
Light rust can often be cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner or rust remover. Touch up any exposed areas with a suitable outdoor paint or coating to prevent further corrosion. Ensure the parasol is dry before storing.
Canopy fabric seems loose or sagging.
If the fabric is new, it may stretch slightly initially. If significant sagging occurs, check that the canopy is correctly attached to the ribs and that the ribs are not bent or damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly:
This parasol consists of two pole sections that screw together. Ensure these are securely fastened for stability. Clear assembly instructions are provided with the product.
Base Requirement:
A parasol base is essential and must be purchased separately to weigh down the parasol and prevent it from tipping over. For use with a table, an 11kg base is recommended. For freestanding use, a heavier 25kg base is advised.
Compatibility:
Designed to fit standard parasol bases with a pole diameter suitable for most common outdoor furniture tables. Check your table's umbrella hole diameter if using with a table.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Maintenance: Periodically check that the pole sections are securely screwed together and that the crank mechanism is functioning smoothly.
