How to Get the most from your parasol
Parasols must be kept inside during harsh weather as if they are left outside, wind and rain can damage their cover.
Parasols bases are generally hard wearing and durable - concrete parasol bases can be left out all year round.
In contrast, polyresin and brass parasol bases can be brought in during harsh weather.
