Product Information
Full details
This elegant blue balcony parasol is designed for individuals seeking reliable sun protection for their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is providing shade and guarding against harmful UV rays with a UV protective and anti-fade polyester cover. A primary caveat is that the parasol stand is not included, and it is not suitable for extreme weather conditions like strong winds or snow. The parasol features a unique half-round design, a durable aluminum pole with steel ribs, an air vent for stability, and a convenient crank mechanism for easy operation.

Does the parasol have an air vent?

What should I do if the parasol is exposed to heavy rain?
We recommend treating the umbrella fabric with a waterproofing spray if it is subjected to heavy rainfall to maintain its protective qualities.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the crank mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the canopy ribs are not bent or obstructed. Lubricate moving parts if necessary.
Parasol feels unstable in light breeze.
Verify that the parasol is securely fixed in its stand or table. Ensure the air vent is open to allow air to escape, reducing wind resistance.
Fabric cover is stained.
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Parasol pole does not fit the stand/table.
Confirm that your stand or table has a hole specifically designed for a 38 mm pole diameter. If the hole is larger, you may need an adapter or a different stand.
