Using your 9 - foot round patio umbrella set is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your outdoor area for the base. Make sure the ground is flat and stable. Place the base in position and use the adapters if needed to fit the pole properly. Then, attach the pole to the base and extend it using the pole extension attachment. Lock it in place with the lock button.
Open the umbrella by using the aluminum crank. You can adjust the angle of the umbrella using the push - button tilt mechanism to get the best shade.
When it comes to maintenance, clean the water - resistant polyester fabric top with a mild soap and water solution regularly. Check the poles and the base for any signs of rust or damage. If you notice any rust on the powder - coated poles or post, gently sand it off and touch up with a matching powder coating paint.
During harsh weather conditions like strong winds or heavy storms, it's best to take down the umbrella and store it indoors. This will protect the umbrella from damage and ensure it lasts for a long time. Also, keep an eye on the plastic polymer covering of the base. If it shows signs of cracking, you may need to replace it to prevent further deterioration.
