Full details

This cantilever garden parasol is designed for homeowners seeking versatile and effective sun protection for their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is the 360-degree rotation and tilting capability, allowing you to precisely block the sun's rays throughout the day. A crucial consideration is the requirement for a sturdy, level base and the need to secure the parasol during adverse weather conditions to ensure stability and longevity.

FAQs

What is the size of the parasol when open?

The overall dimensions are approximately 400 cm in length and 300 cm in width, with a height of 274 cm.

Does the base come with the parasol?

No, a suitable and stable base is required but is not included with this parasol. The cross base frame is included, but it needs to be weighted or secured.

Can I leave the parasol open in windy conditions?

No, it is strongly advised not to use or open the parasol during periods of high winds and rain. Always close the parasol if the wind rises above a moderate breeze.

How do I clean the parasol fabric?

The fabric cover can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproofing spray.

What is the material of the parasol pole and ribs?

The main pole and the 8 supporting ribs are made of powder-coated aluminium, designed for durability and stability.

What does the 'double-top design' refer to?

The double-top, or air vent, is a feature at the top of the canopy that allows hot air to escape, improving ventilation and helping to prevent the parasol from lifting in light breezes.

How often should I check the screws?

It is crucial to re-tighten all screws two weeks after the initial assembly, and then once every three months thereafter to ensure continued stability.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbles.

Ensure the cross base is on firm, level ground. Verify the base is adequately weighted or secured. Check that all screws are tightened, especially after initial assembly and regular checks.

Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the mechanism. Check that the canopy ribs are correctly aligned and not bent. Lubricate the mechanism sparingly if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Cover fabric is discolored or faded.

This is normal wear from sun exposure. For optimal longevity, consider closing and covering the parasol when not in use for extended periods.

Parasol does not stay in tilted position.

Ensure the tilt locking mechanism is fully engaged. Check for any damage or wear on the tilting components.
