Key Features and Technical Specifications
Spacious Rectangular Canopy – 2m x 3m Coverage Area

Width: 2.0m
Depth (Length): 3.0m
Shape: Rectangular – Ideal for shading longer dining tables, lounge seating arrangements, and narrow terraces.
Canopy Fabric: Made from 180g/m² polyester, a durable and water-resistant textile that offers excellent sun and rain protection.
The elongated shape provides maximum shade for larger areas with minimal obstruction—perfect for rectangular furniture configurations where traditional round parasols may fall short.
UV Protection and Water Resistance
UV Rating: UPF30+
Designed to block over 96% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering vital sun protection during summer use.
Water-Resistant Fabric: Protects against light rain and morning dew, making the parasol suitable for a range of weather conditions during spring, summer, and early autumn.
The polyester material is treated to resist fading and maintain its shape and color under regular sun exposure.
Durable Frame Construction
Frame Type: Sturdy aluminium pole and steel rib structure
Pole Diameter: Ø38mm (3.8cm) – Compatible with most standard parasol bases
Rib Support: 6 strong steel ribs hold the canopy taut, ensuring stability and reducing flapping in breezy conditions
The aluminium pole is lightweight, rust-resistant, and finished with a protective coating, making it ideal for year-round outdoor use with minimal maintenance. Steel ribs offer the strength required to support the wide rectangular canopy securely.
Air Vent for Wind Stability and Heat Regulation
Built-in canopy vent at the top promotes airflow, allowing hot air to escape and preventing wind from lifting the parasol.
Improves stability in light breezes and increases comfort underneath the canopy on warmer days by reducing trapped heat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What kind of parasol base should I use?
Use a base that fits a 38mm diameter pole and is rated for rectangular canopies. A heavier base (e.g., 14kg–20kg) or a weighted cross-base system is recommended for optimal stability.
2. Can I use this parasol in windy conditions?
This parasol includes an air vent to enhance wind performance, but like all upright parasols, it should be closed and secured during high winds or storms to prevent damage.
3. Does it tilt or rotate?
This varies by model. Please refer to the product variant or manufacturer’s instructions for tilt or rotation features. Some versions of this parasol include a crank-and-tilt mechanism.
4. Is the canopy removable for cleaning or replacement?
The canopy is typically fixed with screws or loops to the ribs and may be removable depending on the model. If a removable canopy is important to you, confirm this feature with the seller or manufacturer.
