This garden parasol is perfect for creating some shade and protecting you from the sun's harmful UV rays. The umbrella is crafted with a strong hardwood pole and durable ribs contributing to its sturdiness and longer lifespan. Although not 100% waterproof, treating the product with a waterproof spray can improve its water resistance significantly. The garden parasol comes equipped with a single pulley system for smooth opening and closing operations. An additional fabric at the top facilitates wind and heat venting, making the parasol great for outdoor use. The vidaXL Garden Parasol with Wooden Pole leaves no stone unturned in protecting you from the sun's harmful UV rays with its UV-protective and anti-fade polyester material.
