Product Information
Full details
This GardenCo Outdoor Parasol is ideal for homeowners seeking to add convenient shade to their garden spaces. Its key benefit is the quick and easy setup and takedown, thanks to a simple crank mechanism. A potential consideration is the need for a separate, sturdy base to ensure stability, especially in breezy conditions. The parasol features a large canopy, a smooth crank system for operation, an adjustable tilt function for precise shading, and weather-resistant materials designed for outdoor durability.

FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
The parasol is designed for a 38mm pole diameter. We recommend a heavy base suitable for a 2m parasol to ensure stability.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol is sold separately from its base. A suitable base must be purchased to ensure stability and upright positioning.
How do I adjust the tilt function?
The tilt mechanism is typically located on the parasol pole. Consult the product manual for specific instructions on how to operate your model's tilt feature.
Can I leave the parasol out in the rain?
The parasol is designed to withstand unpredictable weather, including light rain. However, for heavy rain or prolonged wet periods, it is best to close and store it to prolong its lifespan and prevent mildew.
What is the UV protection rating?
The fabric is UV50 treated, offering a high level of protection against harmful UV rays and helping to prevent fading.
How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before closing.
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
The parasol has a diameter of 2 meters.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions in the crank mechanism or fabric. Ensure the pole is fully and securely inserted into the base.
Canopy does not stay tilted
Ensure the tilt lock mechanism is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the tilt mechanism may require adjustment or repair.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that the parasol base is heavy and stable enough for the size of the parasol. Ensure the base is on a level surface and the parasol pole is securely tightened within the base.
Fabric is faded or damaged
While UV50 treated, prolonged extreme sun exposure can eventually cause fading. Inspect for tears or damage and consider replacement if significant. For minor fading, clean gently as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the GardenCo Outdoor Parasol, ensure you have a suitable parasol base (sold separately) that can securely hold the pole. Insert the pole into the base and tighten any securing screws. Use the crank handle to raise the canopy to the desired height. If your model includes a tilt function, adjust the canopy angle by operating the tilt mechanism, usually found on the pole.
Compatibility: The parasol pole typically fits standard parasol bases designed for poles around 38mm in diameter. Always check the base specifications for compatibility.
Care: Clean the fabric canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The frame can be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the parasol is completely dry before closing and storing it to prevent mildew. Store in a dry, protected area when not in use for extended periods, especially during winter.
