Shade yourself in style when you're relaxing in your garden with this Steel Parasol With Crank Handle from Christow. Designed with a 2-metre canopy in a choice of contemporary colours, it's smaller than other parasols in our collection to suit the smallest of garden spaces. 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. 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. Steel Construction The pole, ribs and crank are made from steel which is stronger and heavier than aluminium to keep the parasol weighted and provide superior wind-resistance. They're also powder-coated for rust-resistance and long-lasting outdoor use. 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.
