Product Information

Full details

This 3-meter round parasol from Sweeek is designed for garden and terrace owners seeking effective sun and light shower protection. Its key benefit is the robust aluminium construction and water-repellent canopy, offering durability and reliable shade. A caveat to note is that a weighted base is required and sold separately, and the parasol is not designed for extreme weather conditions. Key features include a tiltable, water-repellent canopy, a sturdy aluminium centre pole, and an easy-to-use self-locking anti-reverse crank.

FAQs

What is the diameter of the aluminium pole?

The aluminium centre pole has a diameter of 38mm.

Does the base come with the parasol?

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

Is the canopy completely waterproof?

The canopy is treated with a water-repellent finish, making it resistant to light showers, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be exposed to heavy rain.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The parasol canopy offers UPF 50 protection, providing excellent defense against UV rays.

Can I leave the parasol open in windy conditions?

No, this parasol is not designed to withstand strong winds or extreme weather. It is recommended to close and secure the parasol when not in use or if wind conditions are high.

How do I clean the polyester canopy?

Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What are the dimensions of the parasol?

The canopy has a diameter of approximately 295cm (3m round), and the parasol height is 243cm (200cm at the lowest point when tilted).

Troubleshooting

Parasol does not open or close smoothly

Ensure the crank mechanism is not obstructed. Check that the pole is correctly inserted into the base and that the base is stable. Operate the crank slowly and deliberately.

Canopy is not staying tilted

Check the tilt mechanism for any debris or damage. Ensure the locking mechanism associated with the tilt function is engaged correctly after positioning.

Parasol feels unstable

Verify that a sufficiently weighted base is being used and is properly secured. Ensure the parasol pole is firmly seated in the base. Do not use in windy conditions.

Fabric is stained

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before use or storage. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides generous shade coverage for outdoor areas.
  • Durable construction with an aluminium pole for longevity.
  • Adjustable tilt feature enhances sun protection throughout the day.
  • Water-repellent fabric offers protection from light showers.
  • Easy to operate with the anti-reverse crank mechanism.
  • Integrated top vent improves wind resistance and air circulation.

Cons

  • Weighted base is sold separately and essential for stability.
  • Not designed to withstand heavy rain or strong winds.

  • The mechanism requires careful operation to avoid damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible weighted base (sold separately) designed for a 38mm diameter pole. The base is crucial for stability.
  2. Insert the aluminium centre pole into the base and secure it according to the base's instructions.
  3. Slowly extend the parasol canopy using the self-locking anti-reverse crank handle until fully open.

Compatibility:

  • The parasol pole has a 38mm diameter, requiring a base or stand compatible with this measurement. Weighted bases like the PUBASE45GY are recommended, or weights available in DIY stores for 38mm poles.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Canopy: Gently wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before closing.
  • Cleaning the Pole: Wipe the aluminium pole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
  • Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or in adverse weather conditions (strong winds, heavy rain, snow), close the parasol and store it in a dry place, preferably with a protective cover (sold separately) to prolong its lifespan.
