Product Information
Full details
The Garden Market Place 2.7M Garden Parasol is designed for homeowners looking to add flexible, reliable shade to their patios or garden dining areas. Its primary benefit is the combination of a smooth crank-operated opening mechanism and an adjustable tilt function, allowing for effortless shade management throughout the day. While it offers excellent coverage and durable construction, users should note that the parasol requires a weighted base to remain stable during breezy conditions, as it is not designed to withstand high winds on its own.

FAQs
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, the base must be purchased separately. A heavy-duty base is recommended for safety.
Can I leave this outside during a storm?
No. The parasol should be closed and stored safely during storms or high winds to prevent damage.
Is the fabric machine washable?
No, the fabric is not removable. Clean it by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the diameter of the pole?
The pole is designed to fit most standard garden parasol bases; please check your base's diameter specifications for compatibility.
How do I activate the tilt feature?
Locate the tilt joint just above the crank handle and press or twist the button to angle the top section of the pole.
Does the color fade quickly?
The fabric is specifically designed to be fade-resistant, though some natural fading may occur over many seasons of intense UV exposure.
Troubleshooting
Crank handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure there is no fabric trapped in the mechanism and check for debris or cobwebs inside the crank housing.
Canopy tilts unintentionally
Check that the tilt mechanism locking collar is fully tightened and that the internal spring pin is engaged.
Parasol wobbles in the base
Ensure the base is heavy enough for the size of the parasol and that the pole tightening screw is securely fastened against the parasol shaft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Garden Market Place parasol, insert the lower pole section into a compatible weighted base (recommended minimum 15kg for stability). Secure the pole using the tightening knob on the base. Once the pole is fixed, connect the upper canopy section to the base pole and engage the locking pin. For long-term care, always close the parasol when not in use or during inclement weather to prevent fabric damage or pole bending. Wipe the fabric with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water if it becomes dirty; avoid harsh chemicals that might strip the UV-resistant coating. When storing for the winter, ensure the canopy is completely dry to prevent mold growth, and store the entire unit in a clean, dry, and protected environment.
