No, all sale items are final sale and are not eligible for a price adjustment, return, credit or exchange.

Please see our Returns and Exchanges policy here.

Our products have been designed for you to enjoy and only take a few minutes to set up. We recommend checking out the instructions and videos here.

We recommend spot cleaning the product with warm water and mild soap and hanging to air dry.

While our products are designed for outdoor use, we recommend that they are stored, dry and safely when not in use to minimise wear and tear and extend their life. Store your beach umbrella in its individual carry bag and your Go-Large umbrella in a protective cover. Cushions should be washed and stored separately from the inserts.

For more detailed information, read our care and cleaning instructions here.    

The umbrellas vary in size and shape, materials and finishes. We recommend looking at our Basil Bangs product specifications before making a purchase to ensure you’re buying the right size umbrella for your use. Product specifications can be found here.

Our printed range of fabrics has a colour fastness rating of 3-4, or approximately 1-year/300 hours of normal exposure.

The Luxury Stripe range of woven acrylic fabrics have a colour fastness rating of 7-8, or approximately 5 years.

The Go Large printed fabrics utilise a UV stable printing process that achieves a colour fastness rating of 6-7, on par with many woven acrylic fabrics.

Our Weekend and Premium Beach Umbrellas are designed for occasional, ‘weekend’ use at the beach, however if you will be using your umbrella more regularly (say, outside 24/7) we would recommend taking a look at the Luxury Stripe or our commercial spec patio umbrellas.

All of our beach umbrellas have a UPF50+ rating, one of the highest available, making them ideal for ‘Seeking Shade’, one of the five sun protection strategies recommended by the Cancer Council and Melanoma Institute. The other four, and equally important sun protection strategies, are: Slip, Slop, Slap, and Wrap. Head over to The Melanoma Institute website for more information about melanoma and how to best protect your skin from the sun.

We strive to work with the best people and factories from around the world who can provide the quality craftsmanship and engineering we require for our products, balanced of course with the value we can provide our customers.

Our products are designed by us, Krista and Mike, in Australia and we work with suppliers both locally and abroad in Europe and Asia to bring it all together.

We ensure our suppliers meet environmental standards and treat their staff well. We are proud to work with a team who makes our products with care, for you to enjoy.

The base you select really depends on what size umbrella you have, how you're using it and where it's placed. Generally, the rule of thumb is that the bigger the umbrella = the bigger the umbrella base.

For our beach umbrellas, the 14kg and 25kg bases do the job. If it's a windy or exposed position, we recommend going heavier.

For our Garden and Patio umbrellas, the 14kg works in protected positions or under a table. The 25kg and 35kg bases are great for freestanding options in more exposed sites. We love the ease of the 35kg base on the casters, which makes repositioning a breeze.

Remember, using an umbrella is your responsibility. You need to ensure that it's securely fastened and regularly check your base to ensure that it's safe and all parts are maintained correctly and secured.

This is really personal preference! We have some customers who are fierce Tent advocates, while others are firmly in Team Umbrella.

We love a beach umbrella for how quick they are to install by yourself, and how little space they take up on the beach.

On the flip side, a beach tent is great for a few kids to hang out under and fab for a day on the beach when all day shade and set up is the goal. We love that you can tweak the canopy position to suit the wind and sun, and they fit in a suitcase so great for a plane flight getaway.

Generally speaking, we warrant our products for 12 months against defects in materials and workmanship. Some parts or materials have a longer warranty.

We can’t warranty based on damage caused by misuse, inappropriate use or normal wear and tear, so please follow our care instructions. That said, we know that accidents can happen, so we’re happy to provide replacement parts and servicing to ensure your Basil is still looking Bangin’.

Faulty product validated under a warranty claim will be repaired or replaced at the discretion of Basil Bangs. Please check out our full warranty here.

All warranty claims must be made at the place of purchase, or if purchased through basilbangs.com by sending an email to customer service. Proof of purchase (receipt with date of transaction) is essential for all warranty claims.

Please email us to assess the possibility of a repair. Please include a brief description of the issue together with any pictures or videos of the problem to help us assess what the issue may be.

We will reply as soon as possible with advice and work out the best course of action. This may take up to 7 working days.
