This Vidaxl outdoor parasol in grey is ideal for those seeking to create a shaded area in their garden or patio. Its key benefit is providing sun protection with an adjustable tilt feature. A potential caveat is that it requires a compatible base or table hole for stability.

FAQs
What is the pole diameter of this parasol?
The pole diameter is 38 mm.
Does this parasol come with a base?
No, the parasol does not include a base. It needs to be used with a separate parasol stand or placed in a table with a central hole.
Can the height of the parasol be adjusted?
The height is fixed, but the parasol can be tilted to adjust the shade angle.
How do I clean the parasol fabric?
You can clean the fabric using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely.
Is this parasol suitable for windy conditions?
While durable, it is best used in light to moderate breezes. For strong winds, it is recommended to close and secure the parasol to prevent damage.
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is designed to offer substantial shade coverage for outdoor seating or dining areas.
How does the tilt mechanism work?
The tilt mechanism allows you to angle the canopy to better block the sun's rays as they change position throughout the day. Specific operation details would be in the manual.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Ensure the crank mechanism is free of debris. Check that the fabric is not caught. Gently operate the crank, and if resistance persists, inspect the ribs for any bends or obstructions.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that the parasol is securely fitted into its base or table. Ensure the base is heavy enough and on level ground. Consider using additional weights for the base, especially in breezy conditions.
Fabric shows minor discoloration
This can sometimes occur due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water can help maintain its appearance. Store the parasol when not in use to minimize fading.

Compatibility: This parasol is compatible with any parasol base designed for a 38 mm pole diameter. It also fits through the central hole of most standard garden tables that accommodate this pole size.
