FAQs

What is the maximum diameter parasol pole this base can accommodate?

This Woodside Cantilever Parasol Base Stand is designed to fit parasol poles with a diameter of up to 5cm.

Does the base come with weights?

No, the base stand itself does not come with integrated weights. It is designed to be used with additional weight plates, sand, or water containers placed on it for stability. These are typically sold separately.

Can this base be used for non-cantilever parasols?

While designed specifically for cantilever parasols due to their unique support needs, it may offer stability for some standard parasols if the pole fits securely. However, its optimal performance is with cantilever models.

How heavy is the base when empty?

The product description does not specify the empty weight of the base, but it is constructed from heavy-duty steel, indicating a substantial weight on its own before additional ballast is added.

Is assembly difficult?

No, the base is designed for quick and easy assembly, typically requiring minimal tools and effort.

What are the dimensions of the base?

The base measures 100cm by 100cm.

What is the height of the base stand?

The base stand has a height of 80cm.

Troubleshooting

Parasol feels unstable even after setup.

Ensure the parasol pole is fully inserted and securely fastened within the base sleeve. Consider adding extra weight plates or sandbags to the base for increased stability, especially in windy conditions.

Base appears wobbly or uneven.

Check that the base is positioned on a firm, level surface. Ensure all assembly screws are tightened securely. If the ground is uneven, use shims to level the base.

Rust spots appearing on the base.

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a matching black metal paint to protect the steel.

Parasol pole does not fit into the base sleeve.

Verify that your parasol pole diameter does not exceed the maximum 5cm limit specified for this base. If it's slightly too large, check if there are adjustable screws on the base sleeve that can be loosened to accommodate a slightly larger pole, or vice versa.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  4. Place the base in your desired outdoor location.
  5. Slide your cantilever parasol pole into the designated sleeve within the base stand.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the powder-coated steel with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that all screws and locking mechanisms are tight. Inspect the powder coating for any chips or damage, and touch up with appropriate metal paint if necessary to prevent rust.
  • Storage: During extreme weather or off-season storage, consider removing the parasol and storing the base in a dry place to prolong its lifespan.
