The 2.7m Round Aluminium Garden Parasol - Crank & Tilt - Black can be used in conjunction with a dining table or as a standalone parasol, providing you use a weighted base (not included) to keep the parasol in place. The parasol has a 38mm pole which will fit most standard tables and bases. This parasol is easily erected via a crank handle and a quick release pin which allows you to angle your parasol to project a shadow over your chosen area and hold it in place quickly and easily. The parasol can be fully closed and easily stored away if necessary. We always recommend that the parasol remains closed when not in use and is always kept closed in extreme windy conditions.
