FAQs

What is the weight of each base option?

The Classic Base is available in 35lbs (16kg), 55lbs (25kg), and 90lbs (41kg) options.

Does this base work with any umbrella?

It is designed to fit umbrella poles with diameters ranging from 1 inch to 1.5 inches, and is compatible with most market and patio umbrellas, including various Business & Pleasure Co models.

How do I assemble the base?

The base comes mostly pre-assembled. You primarily need to insert the correct size adapter for your umbrella pole and adjust the leveling feet.

Can I use this base on grass or sand?

The leveling feet are best suited for hard, flat surfaces like decks or patios. While the weight provides some stability on firm ground, it is not specifically designed for uneven terrain like loose sand or soft grass.

What are the dimensions of the base plate?

The base plate is 24 inches square.

How tall is the upright pole?

The upright pole is 16 inches tall.

What material is the base made of?

The base is constructed from pre-assembled carbon steel with stainless steel accents for the handle and leveling feet.

Troubleshooting

Umbrella is wobbly

Ensure the correct pole insert is used for your umbrella's diameter. Adjust the stainless steel leveling feet to achieve maximum stability on a flat surface. For very windy conditions, consider a heavier base weight.

Base won't sit evenly

Use the adjustable stainless steel leveling feet to compensate for minor unevenness in the ground. If the surface is significantly sloped, stability may be compromised.

Pole does not fit securely

Verify you are using the appropriate pole insert for your umbrella's diameter. If your umbrella pole is smaller than 1.5", use the provided insert. Ensure any securing screws or mechanisms on the base are tightened.
