FAQs
What is the canopy made of?
The canopy is made from 180g polyester, offering protection from sunlight, UV rays, and light rain.
Does it come with a base?
No, the parasol is typically sold without a base. A suitable parasol base needs to be purchased separately to ensure stability.
How many positions can the parasol be fixed in?
The parasol can be fixed in four different positions using a latch mechanism.
What are the dimensions of the wooden pole?
Specific pole dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to fit standard parasol bases.
Is this parasol suitable for windy conditions?
This parasol is designed for shade and light protection. It is not recommended for use in strong winds or heavy rain. It should be closed and secured during inclement weather.
How do I clean the wooden pole?
Wipe the wooden pole with a soft, dry cloth. For maintenance, you can use a wood-specific polish or sealant according to product instructions.
Can the canopy be replaced?
Replacement canopy options are not detailed in the product information. It is generally recommended to care for the existing canopy to prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbly.
Ensure the parasol is securely fixed in a heavy-duty parasol base. Check that the base is placed on a level surface.
Canopy does not open or close smoothly.
Check the crank mechanism for obstructions. Ensure the canopy ribs are not bent or tangled. Lubricate the moving parts of the mechanism if necessary.
Water collects on the canopy after light rain.
Ensure the canopy is properly tensioned. For persistent pooling, slight tilting of the parasol might help, or consider closing it during prolonged wet periods.
Fading of the canopy color.
While UV resistant, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause fading. Store the parasol when not in use for extended periods to minimize exposure.
