FAQs
What is the diameter of the parasol?
The parasol has a diameter of 3 meters, providing a large shaded area.
How much weight can the base hold?
The 4-piece fillable base set can hold up to 100kg when filled with sand and water.
Is the canopy waterproof?
The canopy is made from 180gsm polyester fabric which is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain, but it is not fully waterproof.
What material is the frame made of?
The frame is constructed from an aluminium-steel mix with a powder coating for rust resistance.
How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?
The parasol is designed for use in moderate conditions. While the filled base provides stability, it is recommended to close or secure the parasol in strong winds to prevent damage.
What are the dimensions of the base sections?
The exact dimensions of the base sections are not specified, but they are designed to be filled with sand and water to provide a combined weight of up to 100kg.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbles
Ensure all four base sections are completely filled with sand and water to achieve the maximum weight of 100kg. Check that the parasol pole is securely attached to the base.
Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to turn
Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts. Ensure the canopy is not caught on anything when trying to operate.
Canopy is not opening or closing fully
Inspect the ribs and canopy for any tears or damage. Ensure the parasol is fully extended or retracted before attempting to operate the crank. Clear any debris that might be hindering movement.
Water is pooling on the canopy
The canopy is water-repellent, not waterproof. While it can handle light rain, prolonged or heavy rain may cause some pooling. Ensure the parasol is tilted slightly if possible when closed to allow water to run off. Consider a parasol cover for extended wet periods.
