FAQs
What is included with the parasol?
The product includes the cantilever parasol with a beige canopy and integrated solar LED lights. A base or weights are typically sold separately and are required for stability.
How do I clean the beige canopy?
You can clean the canopy with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before closing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers.
How long do the solar LED lights last?
The duration of the LED lights depends on the amount of sunlight the solar panel receives during the day. On a full charge, they can typically provide several hours of ambient lighting.
What kind of base do I need for this parasol?
A cantilever parasol requires a specialized heavy-duty base, often a cross-base with weights or a dedicated stand designed for offset umbrellas, to provide adequate stability.
Can the canopy be angled?
Yes, the canopy is adjustable and can be angled to provide optimal shade coverage throughout the day.
Is the parasol waterproof?
The canopy is made from waterproof material, offering protection against light rain and sun.
What maintenance is required for the aluminium pole?
The aluminium pole is generally low maintenance. Wipe it with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or tips over
Ensure the base is sufficiently weighted for the parasol's size and the prevailing wind conditions. If using a cross-base, insert appropriate weights or secure it to the ground if possible.
Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions. Gently clean the mechanism and consider applying a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts. Avoid forcing the crank.
Solar LED lights are not working
Ensure the solar panel on the parasol is clean and has received sufficient direct sunlight throughout the day. Check if the on/off switch for the lights is engaged. The battery may need time to charge initially.
Canopy does not open or close fully
Inspect the canopy and frame for any fabric tears, bent ribs, or obstructions. Ensure the crank is fully engaged with the mechanism.
Water is pooling on the canopy
Adjust the canopy angle to allow water to run off. Ensure the canopy is fully taut. For long-term storage, ensure the canopy is completely dry to prevent mildew.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Use the crank handle to slowly open the canopy.

Compatibility:
This parasol is designed for outdoor use in gardens, patios, or decks. It requires a compatible cross-base or weighted stand designed for cantilever parasols. The solar lights recharge via direct sunlight.
Care:
- Canopy: Clean the canopy regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the canopy to dry completely before closing it to prevent mildew.
- Pole and Mechanism: Wipe the aluminum pole and crank mechanism with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Lubricate moving parts if necessary, following manufacturer recommendations.
- Storage: In high winds or during off-season, close the canopy and secure it. Store in a dry, protected area if possible to prolong its lifespan.
