FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
You need a base compatible with a 38mm diameter pole. The weight of the base required will depend on wind conditions, but a substantial base is recommended for stability.
Can this parasol be left outside overnight?
It is recommended to close and secure the parasol, or ideally, bring it indoors or store it in a protected area when not in use, especially overnight, to protect it from dew, potential wind, and theft.
How do I clean the polyester canopy?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the fabric. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking 98% or more of UV rays.
Will this parasol protect me from heavy rain?
The parasol is water-repellent and offers protection from light showers. It is not designed for heavy rain or strong winds and should be closed in such conditions to prevent damage.
What is the warranty period for this parasol?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your sales receipt or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Can the height of the parasol be adjusted?
The parasol has a fixed height of 243cm, with the lowest point under the canopy being 200cm. It is not designed for height adjustment beyond its intended use.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable
Ensure the parasol is firmly secured in a suitable, weighted base. Check that the base is on level ground.
Crank mechanism is stiff
Check for any obstructions. Lubricate the mechanism lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Ensure the parasol is not fully extended if trying to retract.
Canopy has a small tear or hole
For minor tears, a fabric repair tape suitable for outdoor use may provide a temporary fix. For larger damage, canopy replacement might be necessary, though not typically offered for this model.
Parasol does not stay tilted
Check the tilt mechanism is properly engaged. Some tilt mechanisms require a locking action; ensure this has been performed correctly.
