The Tradewinds 3m square aluminium cantilever parasol is designed to cover large outdoor spaces without having the intrusion of a fixed centre pole. This cantilever is suited to cover both commercial outdoor dining spaces and residential gardens and patios.

This parasol has an easy-to-use cantilever mechanism to open and close the canopy. It is fitted with stainless steel brackets and bolts to allow for easy instillation of new parts in case of any damage to the parasol. The whole arm and canopy can be rotated with ease to move with the sun..

The hard-wearing canopies have the highest sun protection level UPF50+ and come in a range of colours that can be printed on to allow for complete customisation. The canopy canvases have large air pockets to increase the parasols strength and stability. The coloured canopies are solution dyed and come with a 3-year anti-fade warranty.

Your Parasol will have been supplied with a cover bag and a cover stick. If you have also purchased a concrete base the parasol box should contain a metal base plate and bolts that need to be secured to the concrete. 

We recommend the use of a concrete base or a permanent underground fixing system, such as the stainless steel underground bases. It is essential that the right concrete base is chosen for each parasol. 

Metal bases – Are available as an option. When parasols are to be used with tables lighter metal bases can be used. Please check with us to ensure the correct base is fitted to your parasol. Where lighter bases are used please ensure that you do NOT use them for free standing parasols.

Concrete bases - The metal base plate needs to be affixed to the concrete using the bolts and washers supplied. Make sure that the threadedholes on the base do not contain dust or other obstructions that will prevent the bolts threading correctly. Once the base plate has been secured to the concrete tighten using the correct size spanner. Place the bottom of the closed
parasol pole into the metal base plate and tighten up the star knob, hand tight.

Opening the parasol
Once you parasol is placed in its base it is ready to open. Undo the tie that holds the canopy and carefully release the ribs of the umbrella so that each of the struts moves freely. Gently pull the ribs outwards till the hub starts to move on the pole. DO NOT APPLY FORCE. Pull on the pulley cord to slowly raise the hub upwards (Step4). Continue this till the fabric is taught and
at least one of the holes on the main pole is visible below the hub. Insert the pin through the hole so that the sides of the hub will rest equally on either end of the pin.

Closing the parasol
With the pulley system, raise the hub slightly to take the pressure off the holding pin. Remove the pin from the pole and gently lower the hub, ensuring that there are no obstructions. Allow the parasol to close slowly. Do not let the cord run through your hands as this may cause friction burns. Ensure that the canopy fabric is not caught between the struts and then wrap the canvas round
the parasol and secure using the tie.
