Our parasols feature water-resistant canopies and rust-resistant frames. However, close them during strong winds and store indoors during winter to extend their lifespan.
Clean the canopy with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before storing. Check moving parts regularly and lubricate if needed. Store in a dry place during off-season.
Many models offer replacement canopies, though availability varies by brand and model. Check product specifications or contact us for replacement options for your specific parasol.
