Troubleshooting

Umbrella is wobbly

Ensure the base is on a completely flat surface and use the stainless steel levelling feet to adjust for stability. Check that the umbrella pole is securely fastened within the base's receptacle and that the correct pole insert is being used.

Base seems too light for windy conditions

Consider a heavier weight option (e.g., upgrade from 35lb to 55lb or 90lb) for larger umbrellas or areas prone to stronger winds. Ensure the umbrella is lowered or closed when not in use during high winds.

Pole does not fit snugly

Utilize the included pole inserts to achieve a secure fit for thinner umbrella poles. If the pole is still loose, consult the product manual or customer support for further assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Simply ensure the levelling feet are adjusted for a stable, flat surface and insert your umbrella pole into the central receptacle, using the provided inserts if necessary for a snug fit. Secure the umbrella pole according to its own locking mechanism.

Compatibility: This base is designed to fit umbrella poles with diameters from 1 inch to 1.5 inches. It is compatible with Business & Pleasure Co's Premium Beach Umbrella, Premium Cabana, Market Umbrella, and Patio Umbrella, and many other standard outdoor umbrellas.

Care: Clean the carbon steel base with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. The stainless steel components should be wiped clean periodically to maintain their finish. Store the base in a dry place during off-season or extreme weather to prolong its lifespan.
