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.
