This product is a luxury parasol perfect for use in conjunction with sofa and casual dining sets. This parasol is erected via a crank handle and quick-release pin to secure it into place. This also allows for multiple tilting angles and can also be rotated 360° so you can protect yourself and your family from the sun, no matter what position it is in the sky. It is specially treated with a PA waterproof coating, meaning you can leave it outside in all weather. The parasol can be fully closed and we do recommend it is kept closed in windy conditions. This cantilever parasol will require a weighted base or slabs in order to keep it standing securely over your furniture.The provided cross-bar base has convenient slots to fit suitable slabs.For compatible base weights, search: AVON1114 Fabric Colour: Grey
