FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
A cantilever parasol requires a substantial base to remain stable. We recommend a base weighing at least 75-100kg, but always refer to the specific instructions provided with your base and parasol for exact recommendations.
Is the base included with the parasol?
The base is typically sold separately for cantilever parasols to allow users to choose a base that best suits their patio or decking. Please check the product listing for confirmation.
How do I clean the polyester canopy?
You can clean the canopy with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the canopy is completely dry before retracting it.
Can this parasol withstand strong winds?
The parasol is designed with six ribs for enhanced wind resistance, but it is not intended for use in strong winds. For safety and to prevent damage, always retract the parasol during high winds or storms.
Will the cream color fade in the sun?
The canopy is UV resistant to help minimize fading. However, prolonged and intense sun exposure can cause some gradual fading over time. Using a cover when not in use can help preserve the color.
What are the dimensions of the parasol when open?
The parasol has a diameter of 3 meters, providing a large shaded area. Specific height and clearance dimensions can be found in the product's detailed specifications.
Is assembly required?
Yes, some assembly is required to attach the parasol to its base. Please follow the included instruction manual for guidance.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbles in the wind.
Ensure the base is sufficiently heavy and correctly positioned. Check that the parasol is securely attached to the base. Retract the parasol in windy conditions.
Crank handle is difficult to turn.
Check for obstructions around the mechanism. Ensure the canopy is not caught on anything. Lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines (if applicable).
Canopy is stained or dirty.
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. For larger areas, carefully lower the parasol and clean the entire canopy, then allow it to dry completely before closing.
Parasol does not open or close smoothly.
Verify that the canopy is fully extended or retracted and not snagged. Check the integrity of the ribs and ensure they are properly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a suitable, heavy parasol base (not always included) appropriate for cantilever parasols. The base should be heavy enough to counteract the weight and leverage of the parasol, especially when extended.
- Carefully assemble the parasol to the base according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring all connections are secure.
- Use the crank handle to slowly open the parasol. Adjust the angle if necessary.
Compatibility:
- This parasol is designed for outdoor use on patios, balconies, gardens, and decks.
- Requires a compatible cantilever parasol base for stability. Check the base's weight recommendations.
Care:
- Canopy: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before closing.
- Frame: Wipe down the powder-coated frame with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust and debris.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or during adverse weather conditions (strong winds, heavy rain, snow), retract the parasol and store it in a dry, protected location. A parasol cover is recommended for protection when closed.
- Maintenance: Periodically check all fittings and the crank mechanism for wear and tear. Ensure the ribs are free from obstructions.
