Shield yourself from the sunshine all day long with this Aluminium Tilting Parasol With Crank Handle from Christow. Designed with a 2.4m canopy for superior coverage and protection, it's a stylish way to stay cool and shaded when you're dining or relaxing outdoors. Crank Handle  The parasol features a crank mechanism to effortlessly raise and lower the canopy. Simply wind the handle one way to open the canopy or turn it the other way to close it. Tilting Mechanism A tilting mechanism allows you to tilt the canopy and shade yourself from the setting sun. Simply pull the lever to tilt the canopy at an angle and protect your eyes from the low-lying sun. UV Protection The canopy is made from tough 180g polyester for ultimate durability. It also has a UPF 30+ rating to protect you from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. Air Vent An air vent helps to reduce wind pressure to prevent it pulling the parasol upwards. It also allows heat to circulate, so the canopy is cooler to sit beneath. Aluminium Construction The pole has is made from hardwearing aluminium which is far lighter than the steel poles used for most parasols. This makes the parasol far easier to move around your garden. Easy To Assemble The parasol is simple to assemble with two pole sections that screw together. Assembly instructions are included, complete with information on caring for your parasol. Parasol Base Required A base is required to weigh the parasol down. If you intend to use it with a table, our 11kg base is an ideal option. If you wish to use it without a table, we recommend using our 25kg base. Specifications Height (to top of canopy): 2.4-metres Canopy diameter: 2.4-metres Diameter of pole: 38mm
