Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Grand patio umbrella.

• Cleaning the Canopy: The Sunbrella fabric canopy is water and stain resistant. For cleaning, hand wash only with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing.
• Frame Care: The aluminum frame and steel ribs feature an anti-corrosion treatment. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or during off-season, it is recommended to close the umbrella and use a protective cover. Store in a dry, sheltered area.
• Base Maintenance: Periodically check the water and sand levels in the base to ensure it remains adequately weighted.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your umbrella, refer to these common solutions:

• Umbrella difficult to open/close: Check for any obstructions in the crank mechanism or canopy ribs. Ensure the fabric is not caught. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary.
• Umbrella unstable: Verify the base is fully filled with the recommended sand and water weight. Ensure the adjusting levelers on the base are properly engaged and the umbrella pole is securely fastened.
• Canopy not taut: Ensure the crank mechanism is fully engaged and the canopy is extended to its maximum position.
• Water pooling on canopy: Ensure the canopy is fully extended and taut. The Sunbrella fabric is designed to repel water, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause some pooling if not properly angled.
