COSTWAY 3M 3-Tier Garden Parasol, Double Vented 8-Ribs Patio Umbrella with Winding Crank and Tilt Function, Outdoor UV Protective Canopy Sun Shade for Beach Poolside

I bought this parasol to cover cakes from the sun whilst I’m selling at outdoor markets!Great colour which matches the colour scheme I use on my banners etc and it helps to stop the chocolate melting!

Good value and good quality umbrella. However the tilt function is very stiff and problematic. Unlike others there’s no button/quick release for the tilt mechanism so you have to be strong and tall, to reach up to tilt the upper section of the umbrella into place. Unfortunately there’s no mechanism to hold the umbrella in the tilt position so it reverts back into the upright position by itself due to the weight of the umbrella.
