Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close

Ensure the pulley rope is not tangled and is running smoothly through the guides. Check that the pole is seated correctly in the base and that no obstructions are present.

Canopy is sagging or not taut

Verify that the canopy is securely attached to the ribs via the leather patches and L-clips. Ensure all ribs are fully extended and locked into place if applicable.

Wood on the frame appears dry or faded

Apply a suitable hardwood oil or furniture polish designed for outdoor use to restore the finish and protect the wood. Repeat as needed based on exposure.

Water is pooling on the canopy

Ensure the wind vent is open and that the canopy is properly angled. If the water repellency has diminished, consider reapplying a fabric protector spray suitable for outdoor textiles.

For cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth, then rinse and allow to air dry completely before closing. Do not machine wash.
