CHRISTOW 2.7M PARASOL CANOPY: Give your 2.7m parasol a fresh new look with this 2.7m Replacement Parasol Canopy from Christow. The canopy is coloured taupe for a stylish, contemporary finish and can be used as a direct replacement for the canopy on all Christow 2.7m steel and aluminium parasols, as well as other 2.7m parasols that meet the criteria below. CAN I USE THE CANOPY WITH MY PARASOL? Check that your parasol has 6 ribs and a hexagonal shape to match the shape of the canopy. You should also measure the length of one of the ribs (from the edge of the rib to the pole in the middle). If the length of the rib is 1.35m, the diameter of the parasol will be 2.7m, making the replacement canopy a perfect fit. UV-PROTECTIVE POLYESTER MATERIAL: The canopy is made from 180g polyester which doesn’t easily stretch or tear like natural fibres. As well as shielding your eyes from the sun, it has a UV30+ rating to protect you from harmful UV rays. An air vent at the top helps to aid air flow, keep you cool, and protect the parasol from being pulled upwards by the wind. HARDWEARING REINFORCED RIB POCKETS: The canopy has 6 rib pockets to match the number of ribs on your parasol. Each pocket has reinforced stitching to safeguard them from snagging or tearing when you’re fitting the canopy to your parasol. The reinforced stitching also helps to provide protection from wear and tear when opening and closing the canopy. INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY FITTING: Once you’ve unscrewed the top cap on your parasol and removed your existing canopy, gently thread the 6 ribs of your parasol into the 6 rib pockets of the replacement canopy. Once completed, screw the top cap back onto your parasol to secure the canopy in place. Instructions are included to guide you through the process.
