CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Part of the frame is made up of aluminium parts (for its lightness) and epoxy painted steel parts (for
its sturdiness).
Aluminium is a light, resistant material that doesn't rust.
Epoxy steel is a steel covered with a protective paint against rust.
Alkene is a cloth made up of 100% polypropylene fibres. This cloth is water repellent and
mass-coloured.
It presents better properties for resisting discolouration, bad weather and tearing than classic
polyester and it dries more quickly.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different
parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different
assembled elements (between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric
differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is
carried out individually, before assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance
irregularities coming both from the surface treatment process and assembly operations. The final
appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregularities.
Regularity of seams
Although we pay special attention to the quality and regularity of seams, it is possible to notice that
some threads are not cut after the break point of the seam. There is no risk of the seam becoming
undone. Cut this thread with a simple pair of scissors.
Size of the cloth
The size indicated always corresponds to the size flat of the cloth. The useful size is slightly less, due
to the angle given to the cloth by the parasol.
2/ Precautions for use
We cannot guarantee the good behavior of this product under difficult atmospheric conditions.
We recommend closing the umbrella during strong winds, thunderstorms, hailstorms or heavy rain. In
these conditions, it is recommended not to be under or near the parasol.
After each significant bad weather we invite you to check the general condition and the solidity of the
structure before use. Attention, danger of overturning in the event of a gust of wind.
Fold the parasol in case of wind and strap it.
It is recommended not to leave an open umbrella unattended.
The accumulation of water and / or dead leaves on the canvas contributes to its degradation and to
that of the structure: make sure to clean it regularly and to eliminate any pockets of water.
Do not hang products on the frame.
It is necessary to fix the parasol in a stable, weighted base and on a flat surface.
We do not recommend mounting a light fixture or other heat source on the structure in contact with or
near the fabric.
