Care & Safety Guide
Product Care & Guidance
Our products are designed for outdoor living and made using carefully selected materials chosen for both durability and aesthetic.
With considered care, they are intended to be enjoyed for many years.
As with all outdoor pieces, natural wear will occur over time and should be expected as part of their character.
If you have any questions, our team is always happy to help.
General Outdoor Use
The following guidance applies across all Boho Parasol Hut products:
- Designed for outdoor use unless otherwise stated
- Products should be handled with care and regularly checked to ensure they remain stable and secure
- We recommend storing products appropriately when not in use to prolong their lifespan
- Keep away from open flames, fire risks and hot surfaces such as barbecues
- Products should be handled by adults
- Small parts may loosen over time — children should not be left unattended
Parasol Care
Our parasols are crafted using natural materials and outdoor fabrics designed for durability, whilst retaining a refined appearance.
- Fabrics are water-resistant, not waterproof
- Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or damp conditions
- If a parasol becomes wet, it should be fully dried before being stored
- Extended dampness may lead to mould or mildew, which is not considered a fault
- Clean using mild, soapy water only
- Parasols should always be completely dry before being stored, even when using a carry bag
Natural wood components will respond to their environment:
- The wood may soften in colour over time
- Small cracks or slight movement may occur
- This is a natural characteristic of the material and not considered a fault
To prolong the life of wooden elements, we recommend occasional treatment.
Fabric & Colour
Our parasols are made using high-quality outdoor fabrics selected for their durability and UV-resistant properties.
By their nature, outdoor textiles will gradually soften in colour over time when exposed to sunlight and the elements. This is an expected characteristic of outdoor use and part of the parasol’s natural ageing process.
To help preserve the original appearance, we recommend storing parasols under cover when not in use.
Parasol Safety
- Parasols must always be secured in a suitable, correctly weighted base or ground fixing before opening
- Do not use in windy conditions
- Ensure all mechanisms are fully secured before use
- Take care when opening and closing
- Never leave a parasol unattended while open
- Always check the parasol is stable and correctly assembled before use
- Designed for use as a sunshade only
- Parasols should be closed and stored when not in use
Deckchair Care
- Fabrics are water-resistant, not waterproof
- Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or damp conditions
- Ensure fully dry before storing
- Clean using mild, soapy water only
Natural wood will weather over time:
- Colour may soften
- This is expected and not considered a fault
As with all outdoor fabrics, gradual fading may occur with continued exposure to sunlight.
We recommend storing deckchairs away when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
Deckchair Safety
- Ensure the frame is fully secured before use
- Take care when opening and closing
- Always check stability before use
- Do not leave unattended when open
- Store away when not in use
Parasol Bases
Parasol bases are heavy and should be handled with care.
- We recommend two people lift the base where possible
- Place on a flat, stable surface
- Ensure the pole holder is securely fastened
- Ensure the parasol pole is fully inserted and tightened
- Check and tighten screws regularly
For additional stability, we recommend use in conjunction with a table where possible.
Recommended base weights:
- 16kg for Classic & Premium parasols
- 25kg for Large Premium parasols
If securing directly into the ground, ensure the parasol is stable before use.
Store bases away when not in use to reduce weathering.
Inflatables & Water Use
- Designed for use in and around water
- Rinse with fresh water after use, particularly after salt or chlorine exposure
- Ensure fully dry before storage
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure when not in use
