FAQs

What is the diameter of the parasol pole?

The pole has a diameter of 38mm.

Do I need to buy a base separately?

Yes, a parasol base is essential for stability and is NOT included with this parasol. You will need to purchase a compatible base.

What weight of base is recommended?

For use with a garden table, an 11kg base is recommended. For freestanding use without a table, a 25kg base is advised for greater stability.

What is the canopy made of and what is its UV rating?

The canopy is made from 160g polyester and has a UPF 30+ rating for UV protection.

Can this parasol be tilted?

Yes, it features a tilting mechanism that allows you to angle the canopy to block low-lying sun.

How easy is it to open and close the parasol?

It features a convenient crank handle system that makes it easy to raise and lower the canopy with simple turning motions.

Is the parasol suitable for strong winds?

While the air vent helps with moderate breezes, this parasol is not designed for strong winds. It should be closed and secured in windy conditions to prevent damage.

How should I clean the parasol canopy?

Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Ensure it is completely dry before closing or storing to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable or wobbly.

Ensure the parasol is placed in a sufficiently heavy and stable base. If using with a table, use the recommended 11kg base; for freestanding use, a 25kg base is advised. Check that the pole sections are securely locked together.

Crank handle is difficult to turn.

Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism or canopy edges. Ensure the parasol is fully open or closed to its intended limits before operating the crank. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for damage.

Canopy does not open or close fully.

Verify that the tilt mechanism is not engaged or locked in a position that prevents full operation. Ensure there are no objects or debris impeding the canopy's movement. Operate the crank handle slowly and steadily.

Water pools on the canopy after rain.

While the canopy is water-resistant for light showers, heavy or prolonged rain may cause some pooling. Ensure the parasol is tilted slightly to encourage water runoff. Allow the canopy to dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.

Pros and Cons

  • Adjustable tilt feature for optimal sun shielding.
  • Provides good UV protection (UPF 30+).
  • Durable steel construction for longevity.
  • Includes an air vent to manage wind and improve airflow.
  • Water-resistant canopy for light rain protection.

Cons

  • Parasol base is not included and is essential for stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The parasol pole comes in two sections that easily lock together. Ensure the sections are securely fastened before use. Place the pole into a compatible parasol base and ensure the base is adequately weighted. Always follow the included instructions for assembly.

Compatibility: This parasol requires a separate base for stability. It is compatible with parasol bases that accommodate a 38mm pole diameter. Jack Stonehouse offers recommended bases: an 11kg base for use with a garden table, or a 25kg base for freestanding use.

Care: The canopy is made from 160g polyester. To clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow the canopy to dry completely before closing the parasol to prevent mildew. Store the parasol indoors during harsh weather, strong winds, or the off-season to prolong its lifespan. Periodically check that the pole sections are securely locked and that the base remains stable.
