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.
Match the base weight to your umbrella size; under-weight bases are the main cause of tipping.
