Product Information

Full details

The vidaXL 12 kg parasol base is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to secure small to medium-sized garden umbrellas, providing a reliable and stable foundation for outdoor relaxation. Featuring a robust concrete-filled design wrapped in a durable PE plastic shell, it effectively prevents your umbrella from tipping in mild winds; however, due to its 12 kg weight, it is better suited for standard residential use rather than heavy-duty, large-canopy commercial umbrellas.

Troubleshooting

Umbrella feels wobbly inside the base

Ensure the correct pole adaptor is being used for your specific pole diameter and that the tightening knob is fully engaged.

Tightening knob is difficult to turn

Check for debris or dirt inside the threads of the tube, clean it, and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.

Base shows signs of surface rust on the iron tube

Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a rust-resistant outdoor paint or enamel to seal the metal.
