Full details
The Rackhams 2m Tilt & Crank Lightweight Parasol is perfect for homeowners looking to add flexible, adjustable shade to their patio, balcony, or garden dining set. Its standout benefit is the integrated tilt and crank mechanism, which allows for effortless sun protection as the position of the sun changes throughout the day. However, it is important to note that this parasol is designed as a seasonal accessory and requires a separate weighted base to ensure stability against wind and prevent tipping.

FAQs
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, the weighted base is sold separately. It is required for safe use.
Can I leave this outside all year round?
It is recommended to store the parasol in a dry place during winter or extreme weather to protect the fabric and frame.
How do I clean the canopy?
Use mild soapy water and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with a hose and allow it to dry completely in the sun.
Will this fit through a standard table hole?
Yes, it is designed with a standard pole diameter that fits most conventional garden dining tables.
What is the material of the canopy?
The canopy is made from durable, waterproof polyester designed for outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
The crank handle is difficult to turn.
Ensure the canopy fabric is not snagged on the frame ribs and check for debris in the gear mechanism.
The parasol leans or feels unstable.
Verify that your base is sufficiently weighted and that the pole is tightened securely into the base collar.
The tilt mechanism does not lock in place.
Ensure the tilt joint is clear of grit and that you have pushed the locking collar fully into its engaged position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To assemble, simply insert the bottom section of the pole into your chosen weighted base and tighten the locking screw. Connect the top canopy pole to the bottom pole and ensure it clicks securely into place.
Compatibility: This model features a standard diameter pole compatible with most generic 2m-rated parasol bases. We highly recommend using a base weight of at least 15kg to ensure the unit remains upright during breezy conditions.
Care: To extend the lifespan of the parasol, always close the canopy when not in use. If the canopy becomes wet, allow it to air dry fully while open before storing it away to prevent mildew. Wipe the iron pole with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust and debris.
