Full details

Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?
No, it is strongly advised not to use the umbrella during strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage and ensure safety.
How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Clean the 180g polyester canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow it to air dry completely before closing or storing.

What is included with the parasol?

Troubleshooting
Parasol does not open or close smoothly
Ensure the crank mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the pole is fully inserted into the base. If the canopy is caught, gently try to free it.
LED lights are not working
Ensure the solar panel on the parasol is clean and exposed to direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours to charge. Check if the ON/OFF switch for the lights is engaged.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that the cross base is properly assembled and that adequate weights have been added. Ensure the wind ropes are securely attached and taut.
Canopy material appears faded or worn
While the canopy is designed to be wear-resistant, prolonged exposure to intense UV rays can cause fading over time. Ensure the protective cover is used when the parasol is closed and during prolonged periods of non-use.
