Using your Aiden outdoor umbrella is easy. First, set up the steel cross base firmly on the ground. Then, insert the steel stand into the base. Next, open the polyester canopy and secure it to the stand. When using it, keep it away from strong winds as the base has a crack. To maintain it, clean the canopy with a mild soap and water solution regularly. After use, close the umbrella properly and store it in a dry place.
