FAQs

What size base do I need for this parasol?

You will need a base specifically designed for parasol poles with a diameter of 38mm. Ensure the base is heavy and stable enough to support a 3-meter parasol.

Is the base included with the parasol?

No, the base required to ground the parasol is sold separately.

How do I clean the parasol canopy?

Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can this parasol be left outside in all weather conditions?

No, this parasol is designed for sunshade and protection from light showers. It is not resistant to heavy rain or strong winds and should be closed and secured or stored away in adverse weather.

What is the UPF rating?

The parasol has a UPF 50 rating, which signifies excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Does the parasol tilt?

Yes, the parasol is tiltable, allowing you to adjust the angle of shade as needed.

What material is the mast made of?

The vertical mast is made of durable aluminium.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is difficult to open or close

Check if the crank mechanism is obstructed or dirty. Clean and lubricate the moving parts of the crank if necessary. Ensure the parasol is fully extended or retracted before attempting to operate the crank.

Parasol is unstable in light wind

Verify that the parasol is securely inserted into a sufficiently heavy and stable base. Ensure the base is placed on a level surface. Close the parasol if winds increase.

Water pools on the canopy

This may indicate the water-repellent treatment is wearing off or there is a slight sag. Ensure the parasol is properly tilted to allow water runoff. Clean the canopy and consider re-applying a fabric protector if pooling persists.

Colour fading

Fading is a natural effect of prolonged UV exposure. To minimize fading, consider closing and covering the parasol when not in use, or storing it away during peak sun hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure you have a stable, compatible base designed for parasols with a 38mm pole diameter. The base is sold separately.

Secure the parasol within the base according to the base manufacturer's instructions.
Extend the parasol using the self-locking crank mechanism.

Compatibility:

Pole Diameter: Compatible with bases designed for poles of Ø38mm.
Base Type: Requires a heavy and stable base (e.g., concrete, stone, or water-filled base) appropriate for a parasol of this size to prevent tipping.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the polyester canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the water-repellent treatment. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Storage: When not in use, especially during prolonged periods or adverse weather, retract the parasol using the crank and store it in a dry place to prolong its lifespan and maintain its appearance.
Maintenance: Periodically check the crank mechanism and the steel ribs for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the pole is securely fastened in the base.
Weather Protection: While water-resistant and designed with a vent for wind, this parasol should be closed and secured or stored away during heavy rain, strong winds, or storms.
