This elegant cantilever parasol provides shade and protects you from the sun's harmful UV rays. The parasol canopy, made of UV and fade-resistant polyester, offers optimal sun protection and is easy to clean. The robust cross base ensures additional stability. Our garden parasol can be easily opened and closed by turning the knob on the pole. The canopy angle can be adjusted up and down by pushing and pulling the handle. The central pole can be rotated 360 degrees using the foot pedal. The robust, powder-coated aluminum pole and 8 sturdy ribs make this parasol very stable and durable. The item is easy to assemble.
