Patio Umbrella: Tips to extend the life of your patio umbrella

Here are a few maintenance tips to keep your umbrella looking and working like new.
1. Fabric Care:
For lighter colored umbrellas, one of the best ways to keep your umbrella fabric in like-new condition is to remove the stains on a monthly basis. If the fabric gets dirty, wipe it off with a towel or a soft bristle brush. It is not recommended to soak the fabric.
For darker colored umbrellas, it is better to use an additional protective spray so it will not fade quickly.
2. Frame/pole Care:
Open or close it gently, do not too be too forceful. For the metal umbrellas that use the hand crank, if it gets stuck, slowly turn the crank clockwise and counterclockwise to ensure it turns smoothly. We also recommend periodically checking whether the pull rope near the top of the umbrella pole is knotted, whether the pulley rotates normally, and whether the pull rope is in the middle of the pulley.
A wooden or metal pole is not designed to be used inside a pool, but can be used near a pool.
If there is an accumulation of mold between the wooden umbrella frame, you can follow the below steps to remove it: (1). Add a teaspoon of soap to a spray bottle filled with water and shake it up. (2). Spray the affected area and use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away the mold, sponging up any excess liquid as you clean. (3). Dry the surface completely with a towel and add some some furniture wax in case it gets mold again.
3. General tip:
Close it and use a umbrella cover to protect it when not in use. If you want to store it for next summer, store it in a dry, shaded location. Always make sure it is completely dry before storing it.

We just opened up the umbrella and the solar lighting is not working.

After installing the solar panel, please check whether the solar panel interface is loose, tear off the film on the surface of the solar panel, turn off the switch, and place the umbrella in a sunny place where it will be exposed to the sun for 6-8 hours. When it is dark, turn on the switch again to see if it can light up normally.

How do you attach and remove the solar panel of Umbrella?

1. Install the solar panel onto the top of the umbrella.
2. Rotate the solar panel clockwise to tighten it.
3. Rotate the solar panel in the opposite direction to loosen it.
4. Remove the solar panel from the top of the umbrella.

Can I use Yescom Patio Umbrella without a table? Can I use it without base if it is fixed through a table?

Normally, an umbrella can be secured two ways: a table with a base or a stand. If you do not have a table for a patio umbrella, you can use a stand to secure the umbrella. However, please make sure the stand is heavy and sturdy enough to support the umbrella. Different sized umbrellas require different sized stands, a larger umbrella will require a heavier stand. If you buy a Yescom patio umbrella but do not know which stand should be used, please refer to the following link: Stand recommendation for Yescom patio umbrella.
If your umbrella is supported by a table, even if it looks sturdy, it still needs a base to secure it. A table alone will not give enough support for an umbrella on windy days. It may blow away and hit something or someone. You must have a base to give it additional support and hold it in place. A base that is used under a table does not need to be as heavy as a stand that is designed for a free-standing umbrella, because the table can provide some support.
You should determine the best way to secure your umbrella for your situation. It doesn't matter how which option you choose, just make sure your umbrella is fixed tightly and secured in place.

Does Yescom Umbrella come with a tie to keep it closed when windy?

Yes our umbrellas come with a separate tie for you to tie the umbrella closed. When the umbrella is opened, you can just bind the tie on the pole of the umbrella in case it will get lost. If you misplace the tie by accident and could not find it, you can easily use a bungee cord or any other tie to close the umbrella.
