Cantilever parasol

gfplux

Hello,
I have purchased and had delivered a 3.5 meter Sun Garden cantilever parasol.

It has come with lots of instructions however.....
After filling the base with sand it will weigh (the base) over 100 kilo and will therefore be difficult if not impossible to move.
I am worried I will install it and then find the shade from the canopy will not shade my table and chairs on the patio.
Has anyone had any experience of this type of parasol and any advice please.
Thanks

we bought a similar one fairly recently & we tied one end of some rope inside, to the struts of the open brolley & the other end around the table leg. At the same time, our children were helping to keep it upright.

This enabled us to see the spread of the brolley & the area that would be shaded before we filled the base.

Fill the base enough to just support the parasol. When its in the right place fill it fully.

If it tips when full , even a little, then put a thin( broom handle) pole under, then another and maybe another and roll it into the new position. Then reverse the operation.
