This is a really nice parasol. Fitting is fairly simple but a couple of things to bear in mind. You will need two people to install correctly and when you drill the holes for the supplied bolts only drill to the exact depth of the bolt. They use a pull-tightener to fasten within brick-work which works well but with the depth of the bracket you need a little extra thread to allow the bolt to grab hold. I would have given this fice stars but the description said it had a crank handle which it doesn't. You have to push up and pull down the parasol manually but it does have a locking pivot system. That being said it is quite smooth and we've managed it OK. All in all a good quality product.
