FAQs

What materials can I use to fill the base for weight?

You can use water, sand, or stones. Water provides approximately 48.50kg of weight, while sand can provide up to 73.50kg.

Does this product come with soil or plants?

No, the soil and plants for the planter section are not included. You will need to provide these separately.

How do I convert it into a drinks holder?

Simply place the robust lid onto the top of the filled base. It creates a flat surface suitable for placing drinks and snacks.

What is the weight of the base when filled?

When filled with water, the product weighs approximately 48.50kg. When filled with sand, it weighs approximately 73.50kg.

Can I move the base easily?

Yes, the base features integrated wheels to make it effortless to transport around your garden.

What is the material of the base?

The base is manufactured from high-density polyethylene for longevity and durability.

Is the planter section separate from the parasol base?

The design allows for integration, meaning you can add soil and plants around or in a designated part of the base, depending on how you fill it.

Troubleshooting

Parasol is unstable

Ensure the base is filled with adequate weighting material (water, sand, or stones). Check that the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base.

Wheels are difficult to turn

Check the wheels for any obstructions like dirt, leaves, or small stones. Clean them thoroughly and lubricate if necessary.

Water is leaking from the base

If filling with water, ensure the lid is properly sealed and that there are no cracks in the polyethylene material. Inspect for any damage.

Planter area is difficult to access after filling

Consider filling the planter area first if using soil and plants, or plan to fill the base with weighting material after planting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a level surface in your garden.

  3. Fill the compartment with your chosen weighting material: water (approx. 48.50kg), sand (approx. 73.50kg), or stones.
  4. Insert your parasol pole into the central opening and secure it according to your parasol's instructions.

Compatibility:

This base is designed to fit standard parasol poles. Ensure your parasol pole diameter is compatible with the base's central opening.

Care:

  • Empty the base before storing for extended periods or during winter to prevent damage from freezing.
  • Periodically check the wheels for debris and ensure they move freely.
