FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
For use with a table, an 11kg base is recommended. If using the parasol without a table, a 25kg base is advised for better stability.
How do I operate the crank handle?
Simply wind the handle one way to open the canopy and turn it the other way to close it. The mechanism is designed for smooth, effortless operation.
Is the parasol waterproof?
The canopy is made from 180g polyester, which offers protection from the sun and light showers. It is not designed for heavy rain and should be closed and stored when not in use or in adverse weather.
Can I leave this parasol out in strong winds?
No, it is recommended to close the parasol in windy conditions to prevent damage to the frame and canopy, and to ensure stability. A suitable base is essential, but even with one, strong winds can pose a risk.
How is the parasol assembled?
The parasol pole comes in two sections that screw together. Clear instructions are provided with the product for assembly.
What material is the frame made of?
The pole and ribs are made from heavy-duty steel, which is powder-coated for enhanced rust-resistance.
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, a base is required separately. Recommendations for base weight are provided based on how you intend to use the parasol (with or without a table).
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Ensure the crank handle mechanism is free of debris. Check that the canopy is not caught on anything. If the pole sections are slightly misaligned, gently adjust them.
Parasol feels unstable in light wind
Verify that a sufficiently heavy base is being used. Ensure the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base. Close the parasol if winds increase.
Pole sections are hard to screw together
Check the threads for any obstructions or damage. Ensure you are aligning the sections correctly before attempting to screw them together.
Canopy fabric has dirt marks
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The parasol is designed for easy assembly. Begin by screwing the two pole sections together securely. Ensure the connection is firm before proceeding. Once assembled, place the pole into your chosen parasol base.
Compatibility: This parasol requires a separate parasol base for stability. For use with a table, an 11kg base is recommended. For freestanding use, a heavier 25kg base is advised. Ensure your base has a compatible pole diameter.
Care: To maintain the parasol's condition, regularly wipe the canopy with a damp cloth to remove dirt or dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
