FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
For stability, we recommend an 11kg base if using the parasol with a garden table, or a 25kg base if using it freestanding without a table.
Is the canopy waterproof?
The canopy is made from waterproof 200g Polyester and is designed to protect you from light showers. It is not intended for heavy rain.
How do I operate the tilt function?
There is a lever on the pole, usually located near the crank handle. Use this lever to tilt the canopy to your desired angle.
What is the UPF rating of the canopy?
The canopy has a UPF 30+ rating, providing good protection against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
How tall is the parasol?
The parasol measures approximately 2.4 meters tall from the bottom of the pole to the top of the canopy.
Can I leave this parasol out in windy conditions?
It is strongly advised to close and secure the parasol during windy conditions to prevent damage and ensure safety. The air vent helps reduce wind pressure, but it is not designed to withstand strong gusts.
How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Gently wipe the canopy with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Parasol will not open or close smoothly
Ensure there are no obstructions around the mechanism. Check that the pole sections are correctly aligned and locked. Lightly lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that the parasol base is adequately weighted (minimum 11kg for table use, 25kg for freestanding). Ensure the pole is firmly seated in the base.
Canopy has a slight leak during rain
This parasol is designed for light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to close the parasol. Check the canopy for any tears or damage, and consider seam sealer for minor leaks if needed.
Air vent seems loose
The air vent is designed to allow airflow and may have some natural movement. Ensure it is properly seated and not damaged. It should not compromise the overall function.
