FAQs

What size base do I need for this half parasol?

The required base size and weight depend on the parasol's dimensions and the expected wind conditions. Consult the product manual or recommendations for parasols of similar size and weight. A heavier base provides more stability.

How long do the solar LED lights stay on?

The duration the lights stay on depends on the amount of sunlight they receive during the day. Typically, a full day's charge in direct sunlight can provide several hours of illumination. Performance may vary.

Can I use this parasol in moderate wind?

It is generally recommended to close the parasol during moderate to strong winds to prevent damage. Always secure the parasol properly in its base.

Is the parasol frame made of metal or plastic?

The frame is typically made of durable materials designed for outdoor use. For specific material details, please refer to the product's detailed specifications or packaging.

How do I clean the solar panel?

Gently wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this could damage the panel's surface and reduce its charging efficiency.

Does the parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol typically does not include a base. A separate, compatible parasol base is required for stability and should be purchased according to your needs.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information varies by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or contact the place of purchase for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Parasol does not open or close smoothly.

Check for any obstructions around the pole or canopy mechanism. Ensure the parasol is properly seated in its base. Lubricate the mechanism if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Solar LED lights are not working.

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Check that the ON/OFF switch (if applicable) is in the ON position. Allow several hours of sunlight for charging before expecting the lights to work. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.

Canopy fabric is dirty.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before closing.

Parasol feels unstable in its base.

Verify that the parasol base is heavy enough and suitable for the parasol's size. Ensure the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base's clamp. Consider using a more substantial base or anchoring it if necessary.
