Faulty garden parasol

€60
Task Assigned

Description

Hi, I have a parasol in my garden which was bought in 2023 which does not go up fully anymore (photos included). I wind the handle the whole way and it only goes up roughly half of what it used to. If any additional photos are needed to diagnose what may be wrong please let me know. Thanks in advance!

@Catalin G. The first photo is what it used to look like when it worked. The other photos show what it looks like now.

@Catalin G. The parasol won't go up the full way. There is one photo there for comparison of what it used to look like, but it only goes up part of the way now. Just seen this message now so let me know if you can come tomorrow afternoon, if not let's arrange something next week. Thanks

If I don't let you know tomorrow if I have time to come, if not tomorrow or tonight next week we'll definitely set a day and it's done, thanks Catalina

Hi Bobby, I can come this evening in about 1 hour if that works for you? Also quick one - what's wrong with the parasol exactly? Is it not locking, handle issue, or loose? Just so I bring the right tools. Thanks, Catalin

@Catalin G. I'm free this evening, or tomorrow from 2-4, and then am free most times from Monday onwards next week. Let me know what suits. if any of those times would suit? Otherwise am free most of next week.

Hi Bobby, I saw the photos of the garden parasol. I can come and assemble / fix it for you. I have all the tools needed. Just to note, these parasols are quite heavy so I may need a second person to help lift it into place. I can do it for €60. When would suit you for me to come to Crumlin? Thanks, Catalin

Hi Bobby, Perfect, thank you. Crumlin works great for me. No problem, send the photos whenever you can tomorrow and I'll take a look. Once I see them I can confirm when I can come to fix it. Thank you Catalina
