How do I assemble and install the umbrella?

Start with a stable base, then add the pole or cantilever arm, then the canopy. Tighten every fixing and confirm stability before you open the umbrella.

Step by step

• Place the base on a flat, level surface and add weight if required.
• For center pole models, slide the pole into the base and tighten the collar.
• For cantilever models, mount the arm to the base first, then the pole.
• Attach the canopy to the ribs or hub, then secure the finial.

Before first use

• Check that all bolts and the tilt mechanism move freely.
• Confirm the base is heavy enough for the model and wind exposure.
• Open and close once to check the crank or glide runs smoothly.
