Operation
Operating the Stellar Auto Tilt is as easy as ABC!
After you installed your parasol, simply rotate the crank handle clock-wise until the canopy will open. Continue rotating the handle and it will start tilting. Before tightening the base tube screw, rotate the parasol on its axis until it reaches into the desired position. We recommend that you position the canopy towards the Sun so you can have optimum protection.
Materials Used
The frame – is made from 100% aluminium, same as the hub and runner and all the other fittings. The 6 ribs keep the cover stretched and neat. The manufacturer added a powder coating layer to make the pole more resistant to scratches and corrosion for when it’s stored. 1 year guarantee.
The canopy – air vented for more stability; it is made from a type of polyester that was solution dyed. This process allows more vibrant colours and longer lasting in time to direct sunlight fading. Read more in the ‘Canopy’ tab about the covers for this model, or see our guide for parasol colours for some useful tips. 3 years guarantee.
(*) On demand we can print the membrane with your logo and make it contribute to your marketing campaign. Keep in mind that this is the most visible part of your parasol.
Shapes and Sizes
The Stellar Auto Tilt has one standard shape for the canopy – Round (or hexagonal) and it is sustained by 6 ribs. The 2 sizes available are 2.5 metre and 3 metres diameter. For larger sizes, see our parasol size guide, where we have all our garden parasols classified by shape and size.
Fixations
For this type of garden parasol, we strongly recommend using a 50kg base. There are 3 options available, depending on the budget:
- Granite base – with handle and wheels
- Plinthit Base – portable base with 2 x 25 kg weighted plastic sand bags
- Concrete base – with poll-out handle and wheels
You can increase the wind resistance of your parasol if you place it through the central hole of your patio table.
To install your tilting outdoor umbrella, just simply position the parasol pole inside the base tube and rotate the tightening screw (or screws) to lock it so it won’t be spined by the wind.
To help you choose the right size umbrella, we’ve created here an index with guide for all the parasols sizes we sell at Shade Specialists.
Accessories
(*) Accessories available only by phone call for this model.
Lights
Add a LED lighting unit to your parasol with a dimmer switch and detachable battery. This way you’ll enjoy some extra time to spend in the garden, even if the sun has gone down. The light is bright enough for reading, late evening meals or BBQs.
This simple three headed heater is a great addition to have with the British unreliable weather. It can be attached to the central pole, and allows pole diameters from 25mm to 55mm. Each head emits 500W infra-red waves over a 360-degree space.
Usage
The Stellar Auto Tilt outdoor umbrella is equally at home in a garden or on a patio, as it is in commercial premises like bistro, hotel or restaurant terraces. It is ultra-quick and easy to assemble allowing an easy storage and fast transportation when not in use, making it ideal for busy backyards and commercial areas.

Rajesh –
Recently bought this parasol and it seems to be worth it to have in my backyard. Simple and a wonderful quality. The tilt is the best of all.
Ben –
I have had this umbrella for years. It’s really sturdy and easy to use. I even managed to leave it outside, in the sun, for a month without it getting too hot – which is a testament to the quality of the materials! Really recommend!
