FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the VonHaus Steel Parasol?

The parasol has a diameter of 2.7 meters (265cm) and a height of 2.4 meters (240cm) when fully assembled and open.

Does this parasol come with a base?

No, a weighted parasol base is not included and must be purchased separately to ensure the stability and safety of the parasol.

How much UV protection does the canopy offer?

The canopy provides UV30+ sun protection, meaning it blocks at least 96.7% of harmful ultraviolet rays, offering a safer outdoor environment.

Is the parasol suitable for windy conditions?

While the steel frame is durable, the parasol is not designed for strong winds. It should be lowered and secured or stored indoors during gusty or stormy weather to prevent damage.

How should I clean the ivory canopy?

For general cleaning, wipe the canopy with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely.

Can I leave the parasol out all year round?

For longevity, it is recommended to store the parasol indoors or under a protective cover during the colder months, heavy rain, or when not in use for extended periods.

How easy is it to assemble and store?

The parasol features a two-section pole design, making assembly straightforward and allowing for more compact storage when disassembled.

Troubleshooting

Parasol feels unstable or wobbles

Ensure the parasol pole is fully inserted into a sufficiently weighted base. Check if the base is on a level surface. For added stability, consider a heavier base or parasol weights.

Canopy is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions in the canopy fabric or the sliding mechanism along the pole. Ensure the pole sections are securely joined. Apply a silicone-based spray lubricant to the sliding mechanism if it feels stiff, avoiding contact with the fabric.

Canopy doesn't tilt properly or hold its angle

Inspect the tilt mechanism for any damage or debris. Ensure the tilt button or lever is fully engaged when attempting to adjust and lock the angle. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts if available.

Rust spots appearing on the steel frame

Although powder-coated for rust resistance, scratches or prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust. Clean affected areas, lightly sand to remove rust, and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and outdoor-grade paint. Store the parasol dry and consider a protective cover.

Pros - Effective Sun Protection: Offers UV30+ protection, safeguarding against harmful sun exposure. - Robust Construction: Features a powder-coated steel frame designed for durability and rust resistance. - Customizable Shade: The tilting mechanism allows for precise shade adjustment throughout the day. - Easy Storage: Its two-section pole design makes disassembly and compact storage straightforward. - Stylish Design: The ivory canopy provides a chic and versatile look for any garden or patio setting. ### Cons - Base Not Included: Requires a separate, weighted parasol base for safe and stable operation. - Wind Sensitivity: Not designed for use in strong winds; should be lowered and secured or stored during adverse weather. - Manual Operation: Adjustments for tilt and opening/closing are manual, not crank-operated. - Large Footprint: The 2.7m diameter requires adequate space, which may be too large for very small balconies or patios.

Setup 1. Assemble the Pole: Connect the two sections of the steel pole by screwing or clicking them together. 2. Attach the Canopy: Carefully insert the assembled pole into the central hole of the canopy's hub, ensuring the locking pin or mechanism engages. 3. Insert into Base: Place the bottom of the pole into a suitable, weighted parasol base (sold separately). 4. Open Canopy: Push the sliding mechanism up along the pole until the canopy is fully open and the locking pin engages. 5. Adjust Tilt: Locate the tilt button or mechanism on the pole and press it to angle the canopy as needed. ### Compatibility This parasol is compatible with most standard parasol bases designed for poles of similar diameter. Ensure your chosen base is heavy enough (typically 15-25kg for a 2.7m parasol) to provide adequate stability, especially in light winds. ### Care - Cleaning the Canopy: For general cleaning, wipe the canopy with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry completely before folding or storing. - Frame Maintenance: The powder-coated steel frame is rust-resistant, but regular cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain its finish. Avoid harsh abrasives. - Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or during adverse weather conditions (high winds, heavy rain, frost), it's recommended to lower, fold, and store the parasol indoors or in a protective cover. The two-section design allows for more compact storage.
