Frequently Asked Questions
Parasol Buyer FAQ
What types of parasols do you manufacture?
We produce six categories: cantilever parasols (2.5–4 m arm reach), central pole patio umbrellas (2–3 m diameter), commercial-grade market umbrellas (up to 4×4 m), garden umbrellas with crank tilt, wood-look aluminum umbrellas, and HDPE shade sails. Over 200 models across all categories.
What fabric options are available for canopies?
All canopies use 305 g/m² solution-dyed polyester tested per ISO 105-B02, rated UV 80+ with grade 4+ colour fastness. We stock 40+ standard colours and can Pantone-match any TPX reference with a 1,000-metre minimum run.
What is the frame material and finish?
Frames are extruded 6063-T5 aluminum alloy with 60–80 µm powder coating tested to ASTM B117 salt-spray (500+ hours). Wood-look models use thermal transfer printing over the powder coat for a natural timber appearance without maintenance.
What is your lead time for bulk orders?
Standard production runs 30–45 days after sample approval and deposit. Sampling takes 15–20 days. We ship FOB Ningbo and support CIF, DDP and L/C payment terms.
Do your parasols meet European safety standards?
Yes. Our parasols are tested to EN 13782 (safety of parasols and wind resistance) and EN 581 (outdoor furniture stability). We also hold CE markings for fabric UV performance and provide full test reports with every shipment.
