Product Information
Full details
The vidaXL Balcony Parasol is an ideal solution for apartment dwellers and homeowners looking to maximize outdoor space on balconies or small patios. Its unique half-round design allows it to sit flush against walls, providing targeted shade without taking up excessive floor area. While it is crafted from durable, UV-resistant polyester with a stable aluminum frame, users should note that the parasol stand is not included and it is not designed to withstand high winds or severe weather conditions.

FAQs
Is the parasol stand included?
No, the parasol stand must be purchased separately.
What is the pole diameter?
The pole has a diameter of 38 mm.
Can I leave the parasol open during a storm?
No, the parasol should be closed and stored away during strong winds, snow, or extreme weather conditions.
Is the material waterproof?
The material is UV-protective and weather-resistant, but we recommend treating it with a waterproofing spray if it will be exposed to heavy rainfall.
How do I clean the parasol?
You can clean the polyester cover with mild soapy water and a soft cloth.
Can this be used in the middle of a table?
Yes, it is designed to fit in the center hole of standard patio tables, provided they have a 38mm opening.
Troubleshooting
Crank mechanism feels stiff
Check the internal wire for debris and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.
Parasol wobbles in the base
Ensure the base tightening knob is fully engaged and consider using a pole reducer sleeve if the hole diameter is slightly larger than 38mm.
Fabric looks dirty
Use mild soap and water with a soft brush to gently scrub the fabric, then rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry while fully opened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your parasol, ensure you have purchased a compatible base that can accommodate a 38mm pole diameter. When assembling, insert the pole into the base and tighten the locking screw firmly. For daily care, wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth. To maintain the integrity of the fabric, we recommend applying a waterproofing spray before the start of the rainy season. Always close the parasol when not in use, especially during the night or if the forecast predicts wind exceeding 15 km/h, as this model is not designed for extreme weather.
