FAQs

Can I use water instead of sand?

While polypropylene is waterproof, sand is recommended as it provides significantly higher density and weight, ensuring the 100 kg stability target is met.

Is this base compatible with all parasols?

No, it is specifically designed for cantilever parasols that utilize a cross-stand base.

How much sand do I need in total?

The total capacity is 70 L, which equates to 100 kg when fully filled.

Can the base be left out all winter?

While the material is durable, we recommend emptying the sand and storing the plates in a dry place during extreme winter conditions to prolong the plastic's lifespan.

What are the dimensions of each plate?

Each individual plate measures 49 x 49 x 11 cm.

Troubleshooting

Parasol still wobbles after filling

Ensure that the cross-stand itself is level on the ground and that all four plates are pushed firmly against the center of the stand.

Sand leaking from the caps

Verify that the fill caps are threaded correctly and tightened fully; if the plastic cap is damaged, ensure it is wiped clean of sand before sealing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides significant stability up to 100 kg
  • Weather-resistant polypropylene material
  • Modular design makes assembly and storage simple
  • Perfectly fits cross-stand parasol configurations

Cons

  • Sand is not included with the purchase
  • Requires manual labor to fill each plate
  • Large footprint of 100 x 100 cm may not fit smaller balconies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the base, position your cross-stand where you intend to keep the parasol. Place the four plates onto the arms of the cross-stand, ensuring they are aligned. Use the wide openings on the top or side of each plate to fill them with dry sand. Once filled, securely cap the openings to prevent leaks. This set is exclusively compatible with cross-stand umbrellas; it will not work with standard center-pole parasols that require a tubular sleeve. To maintain the life of the plastic, rinse with a hose periodically to remove dust or garden debris and check the seals on the filling caps annually.
