Product Information
Full details
The vidaXL Parasol Base is designed for homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a heavy-duty, reliable foundation to keep their garden umbrellas secure during mild to moderate windy conditions. Featuring a robust concrete-filled construction with a sleek black finish, this 25 kg base ensures your shade remains stable on your patio, deck, or garden lawn. While its significant weight provides excellent anchoring, it is important to note that this model lacks integrated wheels, meaning it is intended for stationary placement rather than frequent relocation.

FAQs
Does this base come with wheels?
No, this specific 25 kg model is a stationary base. If you require wheels, please look for the variant titled 'vidaXL Parasol Base with Wheels'.
Can I use this with a cantilever umbrella?
This base is designed primarily for standard upright parasols and may not provide sufficient counter-balance for large, offset cantilever umbrellas.
Is the base weatherproof?
Yes, the plastic shell is weather-resistant, though it is recommended to store it indoors during extreme winter conditions.
What is the total weight of the product?
The base weighs 25 kg, providing a stable, non-tipping foundation.
Will this fit a 40 mm pole?
Yes, you can use the 48 mm adaptor and tighten the knob to accommodate a 40 mm pole.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella wobbles inside the base
Ensure the correct pole adaptor is used and tighten the side knob further until it exerts pressure on the pole.
Pole does not fit in the aperture
Check your parasol pole diameter; if it exceeds 48 mm, it is incompatible with this base.
Surface of the base looks dull
Clean with a soft brush and water; avoid using abrasive chemicals that could damage the plastic shell.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your base, simply insert the appropriate pole adaptor (38 mm or 48 mm) into the center aperture and secure the stem. Place your parasol pole into the adaptor and turn the tightening knob clockwise until it grips the pole firmly. Compatibility is limited to poles within the 38-48 mm range; poles thinner than 38 mm may require an additional third-party shim for a secure fit. To care for your base, periodically wipe the plastic shell with a damp cloth and mild soapy water to remove dust or pollen. During the off-season, store the base in a shed or garage to protect the finish from harsh winter freezing, which could potentially cause the concrete filling to crack over time.
