General Outdoor Use (All Products)

The following guidance applies to all Boho Parasol Hut outdoor products:

  • Designed for outdoor use only unless otherwise stated

  • Always follow the product-specific care and safety guidance below

  • Regularly check products to ensure they remain stable, secure and safe

  • Store products appropriately when not in use to prolong their lifespan

  • Products should only be handled by adults

  • Small parts may loosen over time — children should never be left unattended

Parasol Care Guide

Our parasols are made using natural materials and outdoor fabrics that require care and attention.

  • Parasol fabrics are water resistant, not waterproof

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or damp conditions

  • If a parasol becomes wet, it must be fully dried before storing

  • Extended dampness may lead to mould or mildew, which is not considered a fault

  • Clean using mild, soapy water only

  • Although carry bags have ventilation holes, parasols must always be dry before stowing away

  • Natural wood may change colour over time and may develop small cracks or a slight bow, this is part of the weathering process and not a fault

  • To prolong the life of wooden components, we recommend annual treatment

  • Fabric colour fading due to UV exposure is inevitable over time

  • When not in use, we strongly recommend storing parasols away to reduce unnecessary weathering

Parasol Safety Guide

  • Parasols must always be secured in a suitable, correctly weighted base or ground fixing before opening

  • Do not use parasols in windy conditions

  • Ensure all locking mechanisms, hinges and runners are fully secured before use

  • Take care when opening and closing to avoid trapping hands or fingers

  • Never leave a parasol unattended or open when not in use

  • Always check the parasol is stable, correctly assembled and undamaged before use

  • The parasol is designed for use as a sunshade only

  • Parasols should be closed and stowed away when not in use

Deckchair Care Guide

  • Deckchair fabrics are water resistant, not waterproof

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or damp conditions

  • Ensure the deckchair is fully dry before storing

  • Clean using mild, soapy water only

  • Natural wood may weather and change colour over time — this is expected and not a fault

  • UV fading of fabric is inevitable with outdoor use

  • When not in use, we recommend storing deckchairs away to prolong their lifespan

Deckchair Safety Guide

  • Ensure the deckchair frame is fully secured before sitting

  • Take care when opening and closing to avoid trapping fingers

  • Always check stability before use

  • Do not leave deckchairs unattended when open

  • Deckchairs should be closed and stowed away when not in use

Parasol Base Care & Safety Guide

Parasol bases are heavy items and must be handled with care.

  • Always use correct lifting technique; due to weight, we recommend two people lift the base

  • Place the base on a flat, stable surface only

  • Ensure the pole holder is securely fastened into the base before use

  • Ensure the parasol pole is fully inserted and tightened using the screw mechanism

  • Tighten screws regularly to ensure they remain secure

  • We recommend using parasol bases in conjunction with a table for additional stability

Recommended base weights:

  • 16kg base for Classic & Premium Parasols

  • 25kg base for Large Premium Parasols

If securing a parasol directly into the ground, ensure the hole is sufficiently deep and the parasol is stable before use.

  • Store bases away when not in use to reduce weathering

  • Always check the base is undamaged, stable and correctly assembled before use

  • Keep fingers and hands clear when positioning the base to avoid injury

Inflatables & Water-Use Products

Our inflatables (including swim rings, armbands and paddling pools) are designed specifically for use in and around water.

  • Fully waterproof when used as intended

  • Rinse with fresh water after use, particularly after contact with salt or chlorinated water

  • Ensure products are fully dry before long-term storage

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use to reduce material fatigue

  • Always follow age and supervision guidance where applicable
