Product Information

Full details

For those seeking to enhance their outdoor living space with both shade and ambiance, the Samuel Alexander 3m Lit Cantilever Banana Garden Parasol in Green offers a dual-purpose solution. Its key benefit lies in providing ample sun protection during the day and a warm, inviting glow with integrated LED lights at night, all powered by solar energy. A primary consideration is the need for a separate, weighted parasol base for stability. This parasol features a durable green polyester canopy, a sturdy black steel frame, a user-friendly crank mechanism, and an easy tilt function.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size parasol base do I need?

A weighted cantilever parasol base is required. The specific weight needed depends on the base manufacturer's recommendations, but it should be substantial enough to provide stability for a 3m cantilever parasol. Consult the base's instructions for guidance.

How long do the LED lights last on a full charge?

The solar-powered LED lights can provide up to 10 hours of illumination on a full charge.

Is assembly required?

Some assembly is required to attach the parasol to its base. The parasol itself is largely pre-assembled, with the crank and tilt mechanisms ready for use.

Can I use this parasol in the rain?

This parasol is designed primarily for sun protection. While the canopy is water-repellent, it is not intended for use in heavy rain or strong winds. Close the parasol during inclement weather to prevent damage.

How do I clean the solar panel?

Gently wipe the solar panel with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Ensure it is clean to maximize its charging efficiency.

Does the parasol come with a base?

No, the parasol base is not included and must be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Parasol won't open or close smoothly

Check for any obstructions in the mechanism or fabric. Ensure the crank handle is properly engaged. Lubricate the moving parts of the crank mechanism if necessary.

LED lights are not working

Ensure the on/off switch under the canopy is in the 'on' position. Check that the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight. Allow the panel sufficient time to charge (approx. 5 hours). If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Parasol feels unstable

Verify that a sufficiently weighted and appropriate parasol base is being used. Ensure the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base. Avoid using the parasol in excessively windy conditions.

Canopy color fading

While the canopy offers UV protection, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause fading over time. Utilize the protective cover when the parasol is not in use to minimize exposure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides both shade and decorative lighting.
  • Solar-powered lights reduce electricity costs and environmental impact.
  • Easy to open, close, and adjust with crank and tilt functions.
  • Durable construction with a steel frame and UV-resistant canopy.
  • Includes a protective cover for storage.

Cons

  • Parasol base is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Requires adequate sunlight for solar panel to charge effectively.
  • May require frequent repositioning in very windy conditions even with a base.
  • LED lights are white, offering ambient rather than task lighting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a suitable, weighted parasol base (sold separately) that is heavy enough to support the 3m cantilever parasol, especially in breezy conditions. Consult the base manufacturer's recommendations for weight.
  2. Insert the parasol pole into the base according to the base's instructions.
  3. Ensure the parasol is securely fastened in the base.
  4. Use the crank handle to fully open the canopy. Adjust the tilt mechanism as needed.
  5. Locate the on/off switch for the LED lights under the canopy.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a compatible cantilever parasol base designed for large outdoor umbrellas.
  • Solar panel requires direct sunlight for charging.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Canopy: Gently clean the green polyester canopy with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing.
  • Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the black steel frame and stand with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: In harsh weather or during the off-season, close the parasol and use the included protective cover. Store in a dry, protected area if possible.
  • Solar Panel: Keep the solar panel clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth to ensure optimal charging.
