Using the Skagerak Messina Umbrella is a breeze. Simply set it up in your desired outdoor spot, whether it's next to a table on your patio or on your balcony. Adjust the 45-degree tilt function to get the perfect shade as the sun moves throughout the day. When not in use, make sure to close the umbrella properly to protect it from the elements. To keep it in top shape, clean the textile with a mild soap and water solution occasionally. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the fabric. If you need to store it for an extended period, make sure it's completely dry to prevent mold or mildew. And remember, this item is covered by our 30-day return policy, so you can shop with confidence.
