Meyers garden parasols are made to the highest specification. The frame is made from FSC eucalyptus wood and the parasol canopy is manufactured from 230-gram spun polyester; both these materials are ideal for designing garden parasols. The FSC eucalyptus wood pole in golden brown; suits most garden furniture sets. All fixtures and fittings are stainless steel. The pulley rope is made from an anti-fray 1cm thick natural colour rope. The parasol unscrews in the middle of the stem to make it easy to store. We have also extended the length of the threaded connector to give extra strength to the frame and ensure it does not wobble in the middle. The parasol canopy on this garden parasol is removable and machine washable at 40oc. The polyester fabric is inherently fade, rot, shrink, crumple, and stain resistant. At the end of the parasol ribs the fabric has been secured using a stainless steel “L” clip. This ensures the ribs cannot wear through the parasol canopy over time. There is also a leather pouch sewn into the end of each rib to increase the quality look and feel of this parasol. 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, please check the hole can accommodate the 48mm pole. However, if you wish to use this parasol-free standing then we strongly recommend a 50kg parasol base. Fabric Colour: Grey
