FAQs
Does the parasol come with a base?
The product includes the parasol and frame; ensure you have a suitable weighted base to secure the cantilever structure.
Can I leave the parasol open in the rain?
The canopy is water-resistant, but it is advised to close it during heavy rain or wind to prevent structural damage.
How do I clean the canopy?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the primary material of the frame?
The frame is constructed from sturdy powder-coated steel for durability.
Is the height adjustable?
The cantilever design focuses on tilt and angle; the height is fixed based on the frame structure.
How should I store this in winter?
Ideally, disassemble or fold the parasol and store it in a dry, covered area to prolong the life of the fabric and frame.
Troubleshooting
Canopy is difficult to open or close
Check for debris in the crank mechanism or ensure the canopy fabric is not snagged on the frame arms.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that the base is fully tightened and properly weighted according to the manual instructions.
Canopy will not hold the tilted position
Ensure the tilt adjustment locking pin is fully engaged and not obstructed by fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is required, so plan for a flat surface and adequate space to construct the frame and canopy. Ensure the base is properly weighted or secured to prevent tipping, especially if extended fully. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the steel frame. The canopy material is water-resistant, but it is best to let it air dry completely before folding it away for long periods to prevent mold. Periodically check all screws and joints to ensure they remain tight and secure.
