Product Information
Full details
This VidaXL parasol base is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts seeking a stable and mobile solution for their outdoor umbrellas. Its key benefit is providing a heavy, weighted foundation that prevents parasols from tipping over, even in breezy conditions, while lockable wheels offer convenient repositioning. A potential caveat is the assembly requirement, which may involve some effort.

FAQs
What is the total weight of the parasol base when filled?
The base itself weighs a few kilograms, but when filled with concrete, it reaches a substantial weight of 27 kg, providing excellent stability.
Can I use this base with any umbrella?

How do I assemble the base?

Are the wheels on the base lockable?
Yes, the base is equipped with four wheels, and two of them are lockable, allowing you to secure the base in place once positioned.
What material is the base shell made of?
The base shell is made of durable PE (Polyethene).
Does it come with concrete?
No, this product requires you to fill the base shell with concrete yourself during assembly.
What are the dimensions of the base?
The base has a diameter of 45 cm and a height of 41 cm.
Troubleshooting
Parasol feels wobbly even with the tightening knob secured.
Ensure the correct pole adaptor is being used for your umbrella pole diameter. Verify that the concrete has fully cured and the base is on a level surface.
Difficulty moving the base.
Make sure all four wheels are unlocked. If moving over uneven terrain, lift slightly or ensure the path is clear.
Water accumulating inside the base or around the tube.
This is normal if exposed to rain. Ensure the umbrella pole is properly seated to minimize water ingress. If concerned about freezing, ensure the base is thoroughly drained before winter.
Concrete appears cracked after curing.
Minor surface cracks can occur during curing. If cracks are deep or structural, re-evaluate the concrete mixture and pouring process. Ensure the base was not disturbed during curing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

- Carefully pour the concrete into the PE base shell, ensuring it fills the entire cavity. Avoid overfilling.
