Product Information

Full details

The Christow 2m Shanghai Parasol is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts looking to add an oriental-inspired aesthetic to their outdoor living space while gaining essential sun protection. Its standout feature is the unique, durable 180g polyester canopy paired with a convenient tilt mechanism that allows for effortless sun tracking throughout the day. While it offers excellent stability via its 16-rib fibreglass structure, users should be aware that the product does not include a base, meaning a separate purchase is required for safe, upright installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this parasol include a base?

No, the parasol does not include a base. You will need to purchase a compatible weighted base separately to ensure safe use.

What is the UV rating of the fabric?

The canopy features a UV30+ rating, which provides reliable protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays.

How do I clean the canopy?

Use a damp cloth and mild soapy water to wipe down the canopy. Allow it to air dry completely before folding it for storage.

Can the parasol stay out in the rain?

While the polyester fabric is durable, it is designed for sun protection. It is recommended to close the parasol during heavy rain to prevent water pooling and fabric damage.

Is the pole rust-resistant?

Yes, the pole is constructed from powder-coated steel, which provides resistance against rust and outdoor environmental exposure.

Can I leave the parasol open in windy conditions?

It is highly recommended to collapse the parasol during high winds, even with the air vent and flexible ribs, to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

The parasol is wobbling in the stand

Ensure the base is heavy enough for the size of the parasol and that the pole locking screw on the base is tightened securely.

Crank handle feels stiff or difficult to turn

Check the internal cord for obstructions or tangles. If clean, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.

Canopy is fading over time

This is normal for outdoor fabrics. Using a protective cover when the parasol is not in use will significantly slow the fading process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and unique oriental canopy design
  • Effective UV30+ sun protection
  • Easy-to-use crank and tilt system
  • 16-rib fibreglass construction for improved wind stability
  • Rust-resistant powder-coated steel pole

Cons

  • Base not included
  • Requires separate purchase of a weighted stand
  • Two-part pole requires assembly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward due to the two-part pole design, which allows for compact storage during winter months. Simply insert the top section into the base pole and secure the locking mechanism. To ensure safety, you must purchase a compatible parasol base that matches the diameter of the pole; never attempt to use the parasol without a weighted base, as it will tip over. For care, wipe the canopy down with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and bird droppings. During periods of heavy wind or storms, always collapse the parasol and secure it with a tie. If possible, store the parasol in a dry, covered area during the off-season to preserve the vibrancy of the fabric and the integrity of the pole finish.
