FAQs
Does this parasol come pre-assembled?
No, this parasol requires assembly. All necessary parts and instructions are included.
What material is the canopy made from?
The canopy is made from UV protective and anti-fade polyester fabric.
How do I clean the canopy?
You can clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely.
What are the dimensions of the pole?
Please refer to the product's technical specifications for exact pole dimensions, as these can vary.
Can this umbrella be used in strong winds?
It is designed for moderate weather. We recommend closing and storing the parasol during strong winds to prevent damage.
What is the benefit of the half-round design?
The half-round design is space-saving and ideal for placement against walls, balconies, or fences, maximizing shade in compact areas.
Is the color guaranteed not to fade?
The canopy is treated with anti-fade properties, but prolonged intense sun exposure can eventually cause some fading. Proper care and storage can help maintain the color.
Troubleshooting
Parasol won't open or close smoothly.
Check for any obstructions in the mechanism or fabric. Ensure the pole is securely seated and that all frame components are correctly aligned.
Canopy fabric appears loose.
Verify that all ribs are fully extended and locked into place. Ensure the canopy is correctly tensioned onto the frame during assembly.
Parasol feels unstable.
Ensure the parasol is placed flush against a stable wall or support. Check that the pole is securely inserted and that no parts are loose. Consider using additional tie-downs if wind conditions are significant.
Color fading despite UV protection.
While treated for fade resistance, extreme prolonged exposure can still cause some fading. Consider closing the parasol when not in use during peak sun hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This parasol requires assembly. Ensure you have all the provided parts, including the steel pole and five steel ribs, before beginning. Follow the included instructions carefully to connect the frame and attach the canopy.
Compatibility: This half parasol is designed to be placed against a flat vertical surface like a wall, fence, or railing. It is ideal for balconies, patios, and gardens where space is limited or complementary shade is desired.
Care: The polyester canopy is UV protective and anti-fade, but for extended longevity, it is recommended to close and store the umbrella during very windy conditions or prolonged periods of non-use. Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The steel pole and ribs should be wiped clean and kept dry to prevent rust.
