Rust occurs as a result of damage to the material. Rust spots can be treated well with Hammerhite. To prevent rust, always touch up minor damage immediately with a touch-up pen or hammerhite. Superficial scratches can be easily removed by using an auto scratch remover. Reimburse the bill for a touch-up pen or Hammerhite if necessary. Within normal proportions of course Steel feet can always rust, we can’t prevent this.

Buying on account for a one-time order is unfortunately not possible. If this is required, then Customer Service must be contacted.

We recommend that you first view the specifications of the (digital) manuals. You can probably solve the problem yourself. If this still doesn’t work, please contact us. We will contact you as soon as possible about further processing.

A tracking code is available for every shipment. This will be communicated with you after purchase, you can always request it from us if necessary.

We have outsourced this so that this is done safely and reliably. View the prices of the Mirador installation here.

The Mirador is delivered in 4 boxes. With the exception of the 3x6mtr, which comes in 5 boxes. Please keep in mind that an appointment is made by telephone to schedule the delivery; therefore always provide a correct telephone number so that you can be reached.

If the product is in stock, the Mirador will be delivered within 3-7 days after ordering, depending on the country of destination and the carrier.

On average, it takes about 2 to 3 hours with 2 people to completely build a Mirador, depending on the variant/ dimensions.

The advice is to place the product horizontally. The Mirador can be closed on a maximum of 3 sides. If you want to attach screens later, take into account the side where the rotary handle is attached. You cannot place a screen on this side.

Rainwater runs through the channels in the slats to the horizontal beams and is then drained off via the 4 legs. At the bottom of all 4 legs [above the floor plates] are drainage holes to gradually drain the water (above the ground).

Wind force 8 can be used as the maximum standard, provided the slats are tilted open so that the wind cannot beat under them. In addition, it is extremely important that the Mirador is fully mounted correctly, and that it is preferably anchored to the ground on all 4 posts, preferably with footings.

The maximum snow load that can be carried is 25 kg per slat. Urgent advice is to keep the slats open at all times, so that the snow does not accumulate on the slats. The Mirador has been tested for a maximum snow load of 25 kg per slat and 50 kg per square meter.

The main difference is the difference in material, this also largely explains the price difference. Both variants are of high quality and design. The Classic variants have an aluminum frame, with steel slats. The Deluxe variants consist entirely of high-quality aluminum and are therefore easier to maintain by comparison. As a result, the Classic and Basic variants have a 2-year warranty, while the Deluxe variants have a full 5-year warranty. The Deluxe variants are suitable for expansion to LED lighting.

Both variants are of high quality and design and consist of the same materials. The Basic variants have legs with a thickness of 88 mm, while the Classic variants have legs with a thickness of 111 mm. The Classic variant is therefore even more sturdy and stable than the Basic variant. The Basic variants are 2.40m high, while the Classic variants are 2.50m high.

All cloths used in our Sorara products are made of colored high-quality polyester. Because recycled materials are used with our products, production is done in a less environmentally harmful way.

The fabric is specially designed for parasols and therefore not designed to be waterproof. Even so, parasols have a reasonable water resistance, but in heavy rain there is always a possibility of breakthrough or leakage. We therefore do not communicate that our parasols are waterproof.

Discoloration Cloths always discolor under the influence of UV radiation, which is unavoidable, where more UV light comes, the discoloration can go faster than in places that catch less light. We therefore recommend using a cover to prevent streaks from appearing in the parasol. The cover catches the UV light when the parasol is closed. Dark cloths discolour faster than light cloths, so when a customer suffers from discolouration, we can best advise a light cloth All cloths discolour after hours of sunshine, we can be honest about this towards the customers.

If the cloth is slightly soiled, it can be cleaned carefully with washing-up liquid or green soap. If desired, the cloth can also be put in the washing machine at a low temperature of 20 degrees.

Solid mechanics Sturdy material with a decent thickness, resulting in a longer lifespan. An acceptable color fastness. Easy to set up and store in winter. Matching covers are available.
