Description
- Design: This is a "banana" style or cantilever umbrella, meaning the pole is located at the side rather than in the center of the canopy. This design provides pole-free shade, maximizing the usable space underneath for furniture or hot tubs. The umbrella is typically square, measuring 3x3 meters when open.
- Materials:
- Canopy: The canopy is made from high-quality 180g/m² polyester fabric, which offers UV protection and is water-repellent. It also includes top vents to allow wind to flow through, increasing its durability in breezy conditions.
- Frame: The pole and ribs are constructed from metal (often iron with a black powder coating) for strength and rust resistance.
- Operation: It utilizes a convenient crank winding mechanism on the central pole, allowing users to easily open and close the parasol. It also features an adjustable inclination angle or tilt system to block sunlight at different positions throughout the day.
- Base Requirement: The product comes without a base, but a compatible base is essential for safe use. It is recommended to use a heavy-duty base, such as one that can be filled with water or sand (e.g., an 86L water base is available from the same brand), or weighted paving slabs, to prevent the umbrella from tipping over, especially in windy conditions.
