Product Information
Full details
This KEPLIN Double Garden Parasol in Red is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts seeking ample shade for outdoor spaces like patios, decking, and dining areas. Its key benefit is the extensive 4.5 x 2.7m double coverage, providing significant sun protection for gatherings. A potential consideration is the parasol's weight (approx. 16.4kg) which, while contributing to stability, requires careful handling during setup. The parasol features a robust steel frame, durable 180gsm polyester canopy with a vent, and an easy crank operation, all supported by a included base and protective cover.

Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Ensure the crank mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the canopy ribs are fully extended and not caught. If resistance persists, a light application of silicone lubricant on the crank mechanism might help.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base. Ensure the base is on a level surface. If the parasol is in a windy area, consider adding extra weight to the base (not included).
Canopy fabric has mildew spots
Open the parasol in a well-ventilated area. Gently clean the affected areas with a cloth dampened in a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely before closing.
Base is not heavy enough
The included base provides standard stability. For significantly windy conditions, consider placing heavy objects (like sandbags or water weights) on top of the base. Ensure these do not obstruct the crank mechanism.
