Full details
The Home Garden Direct Oceanus Square Parasol is designed for homeowners seeking effective sun protection and enhanced outdoor aesthetics. Its key benefit is superior UV protection and shade thanks to an adjustable cantilever design, allowing you to follow the sun. A minor caveat is that larger models may require a more substantial base for stability. This parasol offers a blend of functionality and premium design, featuring a durable powder-coated frame, waterproof and UV-resistant canopy, and user-friendly crank tilt mechanisms for easy adjustment.

FAQs
What are the available sizes for the Oceanus parasol?
The Oceanus parasol is available in two sizes: 200x200cm and 200x300cm.
Is the canopy material waterproof?
Yes, the canopy is made from a waterproof and UV-resistant material.
How do I adjust the angle of the parasol?
The parasol features crank tilt and umbrella tilt mechanisms that allow for easy adjustment of its angle and height.
What kind of base do I need for this parasol?
You will need a sturdy parasol base suitable for the size of your parasol. Larger parasols (200x300cm) require a heavier base for stability.
How should I clean the parasol canopy?
Gently wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow it to dry completely before closing or storing.
Does the parasol come with a base?
The product information does not specify if a base is included. A separate, compatible parasol base is typically required.
Is the frame resistant to rust?
The frame is powder-coated, which provides resistance against rust and corrosion, enhancing its durability.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close.
Check the crank mechanism for debris or obstructions. Ensure the canopy fabric is not snagged. Lubricate the moving parts of the crank if necessary.
Parasol feels unstable in light wind.
Ensure the parasol is properly secured in its base. Consider upgrading to a heavier or wider base, especially for the 200x300cm model.
Canopy is not providing adequate shade.
Adjust the cantilever arm and umbrella tilt to re-position the shade. Ensure the canopy is fully extended.
Water is pooling on the canopy.
Ensure the parasol is tilted slightly to allow water to run off. If the pooling is significant, check that the canopy is not sagging and that the frame is level.
