FAQs
What is the diameter of the parasol pole?
The parasol pole has a diameter of 48mm.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol base is not included and must be purchased separately.
How do I clean the polyester canopy?
Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap solution if needed. Rinse with clean water and let it air dry completely before closing.
Is the canopy waterproof?
The canopy is treated with a water-repellent finish, suitable for light rain, but it is not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rainfall.
How should I care for the hardwood components?
Periodically clean the hardwood with a damp cloth and consider applying a hardwood oil or sealant annually to maintain its finish and protect it from weathering.
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
The parasol is 3 meters wide and 2.5 meters tall.
Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?
The parasol features wind vents to help with stability in moderate breezes. However, it is not designed for strong winds, and should be closed and stored in severe weather.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the pulley rope is not tangled. Check that the pole is fully seated in the base. Lubricate the pulley mechanism lightly if it feels stiff.
Canopy does not stay fully open.
Check that the canopy ribs are fully extended and locked into place. Ensure the pulley rope is securely tied or fastened.
Water pools on the canopy after rain.
Ensure the wind vents are clear and the canopy is angled slightly to allow water to run off. The canopy is water-repellent, not waterproof; prolonged heavy rain may lead to some seepage.
Wooden pole shows signs of weathering.
Clean the pole with a soft brush and apply a suitable hardwood oil or sealant to restore its appearance and protection. Store indoors during winter months for optimal preservation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure you have a suitable parasol base (sold separately) with a pole receiver diameter compatible with the 48mm pole.
- Insert the parasol pole securely into the base and tighten any locking mechanisms.
- Use the pulley system to slowly raise the canopy. Ensure all ribs are fully extended and secured.
Compatibility:
- Designed to fit most standard parasol bases with a 48mm pole opening.
- Suitable for patios, decking, gardens, and other outdoor spaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Canopy: Gently wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before closing.
- Caring for the Hardwood: To maintain the polished finish and prevent weathering, periodically clean the wooden pole and ribs with a soft brush or damp cloth. Applying a suitable hardwood oil or sealant annually can further protect the wood.
- Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, strong winds), it is recommended to close the parasol and store it in a dry place. A parasol cover can offer additional protection when closed but is not a substitute for proper storage.
- Fittings: Periodically check that all brass-coloured fittings are secure and free from corrosion. Clean with a dry cloth.
