This STURDI PLUS 2.5m Round Aluminium Crank Garden Parasol is made to a very high
Specification. The frame is made from Aluminium & the Parasol Canopy is manufactured from 230 gram spun Polyester; both these materials are ideal for designing garden parasols. The Aluminium is Dark Grey; Anthracite coloured, to suit most garden furniture sets. All fixtures & fittings are Aluminium & Plastic. The Parasol pole separates in the middle of the stem to make it easy to store. There is a simple Push Pin mechanism which means that you can separate the poles. We have also extended the length of the connector to give extra strengh to the frame & ensure it does not wobble in the middle. To put this parasol up, there is a simple crank handle, turning the handle clockwise will erect the canopy, whereas turning the parasol anticlockwise will put it down. This parasol also has a very handy tilt mechanism which helps to block the sun & different angles. The Parasol Canopy on this 2.5m Garden Parasol is removable & machine washable at 40oC. The Polyester fabric is inherently fade, rot, shrink, crumple & stain resistant. We strongly recommend you weigh this parasol down with as heavy a Parasol Base as possible. If you intend using this parasol in conjunction with a table a 15kg or 20kg parasol base will be ok. However, if you wish to use this parasol free standing then we suggest you purchase a 25kg or 50kg parasol base. This will ensure the parasol does not blow over in strong winds. We recommend this garden parasol is stored in a dry & safe environment throughout the winter months, this will ensure your parasol stays in good condition. This garden parasol has a 38mm pole.
