Full details
The sweek Touquet rectangular parasol is designed for homeowners seeking effective sun protection for their garden or terrace spaces. Its key benefit lies in its easy operation via a non-return crank handle and durable aluminum construction, offering a substantial shaded area of 2 x 3 meters.

FAQs
What size base do I need for this parasol?
You need a base compatible with a 38mm diameter pole. A recommended option is the PUBASE45GY, or similar weighted bases designed for this pole size.
Is the weighted base included with the parasol?
No, the weighted base required for stability is not supplied with the parasol and must be purchased separately.
What material is the parasol canopy made from?
The canopy is made from polyester fabric with a density of approximately 180g/m².
How do I clean the parasol fabric?
Gently clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely before closing.
Can this parasol withstand strong winds?
The parasol is designed for sun protection and light breezes. It is recommended to close the parasol during strong winds to prevent damage.
What are the dimensions of the parasol canvas?
The canvas dimensions are approximately 196x296cm, providing a rectangular shaded area of 2x3 meters.
Is the parasol height adjustable?
The sunshade height is approximately 2m40, with the lowest point being 2m20. The pole itself is not height-adjustable, but the tilt function allows for angle adjustment.
What is the weight of the parasol?
The parasol weighs approximately 4.7 kg.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the crank mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the pole is securely inserted into the base and that the base is stable. Do not force the crank.
Parasol feels unstable in light wind.
Verify that the weighted base is of sufficient weight for the parasol size. Consider purchasing a heavier base or using additional weights if recommended by the base manufacturer.
Fabric shows signs of mildew.
Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the parasol is thoroughly dried before closing and storing it in the future.
Water pools on the fabric.
While the fabric is water-repellent, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause some water retention. Ensure the parasol is tilted slightly to encourage water runoff, or close it during heavy downpours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the Touquet parasol, first ensure you have a compatible weighted base. This parasol requires a base designed for poles with a 38mm diameter. Insert the parasol pole into the base and secure it according to the base's instructions. Open the parasol using the crank handle until the canopy is fully extended. For optimal stability, ensure the base is heavy enough to support the parasol's size, especially in breezy conditions.
Compatibility: The central aluminum pole has a diameter of 38mm. It is compatible with any parasol base or table designed to accommodate this specific pole size. Note that the necessary weighted base is not supplied with the parasol.
Care: To maintain the parasol, regularly clean the polyester fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the parasol is completely dry before closing and storing it to prevent mildew. The aluminum pole can be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Store the parasol in a dry place when not in use for extended periods, especially during winter, to prolong its lifespan.
