Does anyone know or have any tricks on how to stop the sun bleaching cantilever parasols? The one I had last year bleached within a few weeks of being open in the sun - have just bought a new one and don’t want the same happening again! Does already have a cover for when it’s down.

You will never stop the sun bleaching things. but many people paint their cushions on their rattan furniture
but for the life of me, I can't remember the paint they use.

just had a look and it's normal garden paint like Cuprinol , also wonder if you could just paint on a fabric dye and then hose it off.
