The fabric gives excellent protection against the sun’s UV rays as it has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of 50+, which means it blocks 98% of the ultraviolet radiation. The parasol is easy to open or close by using the crank. The parasol base will last longer and keep looking fresh, as it is both UV stabilised to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and fade resistant. Easy to move and handle because you fill each part with sand after putting it in place. The air vent reduces wind pressure and allows heat to circulate. The hook-and-loop strap keeps the fabric in place when folded. Assembled size Height: 272 cm Diameter: 300 cm
