The Challenger Telescopic allows you to raise the parasol mid-meal without having to clear the table. Simply raise the pole with the help of a gas spring, open up the parasol above the table and then lower it to the desired height. Our T1 Parasols offer a tilt system ensuring the full movement of the parasol backward and forwards without any movement of the base, it can be held easily at any angle by simply locking it into place with a handy lever. The parasol can be moved around 360 degrees in a smooth and easy action, guaranteeing shade wherever you desire. The mechanism of the parasol is durable stainless steel and encased in a strong powder-coated aluminium housing, meaning no rust or corrosion. The durability and strength of the parasol is further enhanced with its robust powder-coated aluminium pole and the tension springs that keep the fabric taught, secure, and looking its best. The parasol is made from luxurious premium-class fabric, which is dirt-resistant protecting you from the elements and also the sun’s UV rays. This parasol is sold separately to our parasol bases, and we suggest purchasing this alongside your parasol as well as a cover to protect your parasol while not in use to maintain its quality.
