Using your Estonia outdoor umbrella is a breeze. First, assemble it according to the instructions. Once assembled, place it in your desired outdoor spot. To adjust the shade as the sun moves, simply use the metal tilt mechanism. It's easy to operate. When not in use, close the umbrella and store it in a dry place to prevent rusting of the metal parts and damage to the polyester fabric. For maintenance, clean the canopy with a mild soap and water solution and wipe the metal parts with a dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the powder - coating finish. With proper care, your umbrella will serve you well for a long time.
