It has come to our attention that customers aren’t securing their umbrellas properly with the strap that is included with each umbrella. Please secure your canopy fabric “bud” to the the pole itself after every use, overnight, and in bad weather. In case that you loose your strap please contact us at info@sungarden.us or use a small bungee cord to strap the canopy in place to the pole. Having the canopy assembly in place before placing a cape over your umbrella is vital in making sure that it is secure.

WIND RATING DISCLAIMER: Sun Garden is field and wind tunnel tested. We know exactly what happens to our umbrellas at specific speeds: at 20 MPH open Sun Garden parasols become a tipping hazard, and at 25 MPH open the umbrella can tip over.  When your Sun Garden Umbrella is properly secured to the frame, canopy  closed and strapped secure, it will not tip exceeding winds of 60MPH.  As with all patio umbrellas, please close your Sun Garden when left unattended or in windy conditions. 

PERSONAL CARE: KEEP YOUR UMBRELLA SECURE!

  • Place base on a level surface.

  • Properly close and secure your umbrella during winds of 20 miles per hour or greater.

  • Always close the umbrella when left unattended.

  • Secure the canopy to the mast with the strap.

WRONG

The above umbrella was left extended, canopy closed but not secured to the frame properly. The umbrella will sustain damages to the base and Ball Joint at the top when left like this..

WRONG

  While the strap is in the right place, it should be secured to the frame pole to the right. All patio umbrellas should be closed and secure when left unattended and during windy or stormy conditions. 

WRONG

The umbrella (example #3)  is not corrected either. The canopy assembly needs to be strapped to the frame. A very strong wind can push the assembly sideways breaking the Ball Joint on top or ripping the canopy assembly right off the frame.

RIGHT WAY

The Sun Garden umbrella  (example #4) is properly secured to the frame. In this setup the Sun Garden umbrella can endure strong wind without getting damage. With the correct amount of weight in the base this umbrella will only become a tipping hazard at winds of  60 MPH or greater. 

Before Using the 360° Swivel Function, slide the open ca- nopy down pole or close and secure. DO NOT attempt while the parasol is fully opened and deployed. See pictures on the right side.
