- Outdoor fabrics are subject to harsh conditions and degradation over time is to be expected. Parasol™ is supported with a 10 year limited UV warranty. During this period the fabric will remain serviceable and fit for purpose. Color fading is normal over time. Colors containing red and yellow pigments have a tendency to fade more than others.
