This parasol is a collapsible round parasol, operated by a pulley system which can be used with either a dining table or as a standalone parasol with a base. The very easy-to-use pulley system is designed to be held in place with a pin. This enables the parasol to be opened and closed with a minimum of fuss. The canopy is made of polyester and is used as a sun protector having a UV rating of 50+. The color of the fabric is fade-resistant having a resistance factor of 5/6, therefore offering maximum protection from color distortion. Supported by a strong ribbed frame the 38mm pole will fit through most standard dining tables. The parasol is best for free standing or alternatively for a 6 - 8 seat rectangular dining set. Please note the weighted base is not included with the parasol. In addition, a minimum weight of 40kg is required if the parasol is to be used free-standing. If the parasol is going to be used in conjunction with a table then a 15kg base will suffice. Fabric Colour: Grey
