The canopy is made of polyester canvas with a UV coating.

What are the dimensions of the shade?

The shade diameter is 1.74 meters.

How do I assemble the parasol?

The parasol pole comes in two pieces that join together. You then insert the pole into the filled base. Operation involves a push-button mechanism.

Does the base come with filling?

No, the base is refillable and needs to be filled with sand or water by the user for stability.

Can this parasol be used in windy conditions?

While the base provides stability, it is recommended to close the parasol during strong winds to prevent damage.

How do I clean the parasol?

Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and ensure the parasol is dried completely before storing to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting

Parasol won't open or close smoothly

Ensure the pole sections are correctly joined and the locking mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the parasol is not being forced against strong winds.

Parasol feels unstable

Verify that the base is completely filled with sand or water and is placed on a level surface. Ensure the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base.

Canopy material seems loose

Check that the canopy is correctly attached to the frame. For minor looseness, ensure the pole is fully extended and locked. Significant issues may require professional inspection.

Frame shows signs of rust

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of rust-inhibiting metal polish if necessary. Ensure the parasol is stored dry.
