Full details

The Christow 2.5m Cantilever Parasol is designed for garden and patio use, offering stylish shade and excellent UV protection with its UPF 30+ rated canopy. Its key benefit is the offset design, allowing unrestricted shade over larger areas, with a convenient 360-degree rotation and tilt function. A key consideration is that the parasol base is sold separately and is essential for stability.

FAQs

Is a parasol base included with the Christow 2.5m Cantilever Parasol?

No, the parasol base is not included. A compatible cantilever parasol base must be purchased separately to ensure stability and safe use.

What is the UPF rating of the canopy?

The canopy has a UPF 30+ rating, providing good protection against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

How do I rotate the parasol canopy?

Press down on the foot pedal located at the base of the parasol and twist the pole to rotate the canopy 360-degrees.

Can I adjust the angle of the canopy?

Yes, the canopy can be tilted at five different angles, up to 45-degrees, by securing the handle in one of the locking holes on the parasol pole.

What is the canopy made of?

The canopy is made from durable 180g/M2 polyester material.

How do I clean the parasol?

Clean the canopy with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Rinse and allow to air dry completely. Wipe the pole with a damp cloth.

What are the dimensions of the parasol?

The canopy has a diameter of 2.5m and a height of 2.5m when raised. The pole diameter is 6cm.

Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?

This parasol is best used in calm or light breeze conditions. It is recommended to lower the canopy in strong winds to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbles.

Ensure a suitable cantilever parasol base is correctly assembled and filled with sand or water as per the base's instructions. Verify the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base.

Crank handle is difficult to turn.

Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism. Ensure the canopy is fully extended or retracted; sometimes partial extension can make it stiff. Lightly lubricate the mechanism if necessary, following product guidelines.

Canopy does not rotate smoothly.

Confirm the foot pedal is fully pressed down while attempting to rotate. Check the base and the rotating mechanism for any debris that might be hindering movement.

Canopy is not holding its tilted position.

Ensure the handle is securely locked into one of the 5 available locking holes. If the holes or mechanism appear worn, contact customer support.

Parasol seems to rust.

The pole and ribs are powder-coated for rust resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather can eventually cause surface rust. Clean affected areas with a mild abrasive cleaner and apply a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for outdoor metal if necessary. Ensure the parasol is dry when stored.

  • Cleaning the Pole: Wipe down the aluminium pole with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before closing the parasol.
  • Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use, especially during winter or high winds, we recommend lowering and securing the canopy, and ideally storing it indoors to protect it from the elements and prolong its lifespan.
  • Wind: This parasol is designed for sunny conditions. In windy weather, always lower the canopy to prevent damage. Do not use in winds exceeding manufacturer recommendations.
