No. This product includes four fillable HDPE base plates only. The patio umbrella and its cross base are not included. You must have a compatible cantilever umbrella cross base to install and secure the four plates.
This base is designed for compatible cantilever umbrellas with a matching cross-base structure. Compatibility depends on the dimensions and mounting design of your umbrella's cross base. Please check these measurements before purchasing to ensure all four plates fit securely around the frame.
The four plates can hold approximately 240 lbs of sand or 220 lbs of water when filled separately. For additional stability, the product instructions recommend adding approximately 130 lbs of sand first and then adding water. The combined total weight can reach up to 350 lbs.
Each of the four plates has a filling opening for adding sand or water. For the recommended combined filling method, add approximately 130 lbs of sand first, then add water according to the product instructions. Secure all filling caps before placing the plates around the cross base.
Position the compatible umbrella cross base on a firm, level surface. Place all four filled plates around the cross-base structure, following the umbrella's assembly instructions. Make sure the plates are properly positioned and secured before opening the umbrella.
Yes. When paired with a compatible cantilever umbrella equipped with a 360-degree rotation mechanism, the umbrella can still rotate according to its operating instructions. The four base plates provide the necessary ballast around the cross base, while the umbrella's own rotation mechanism controls movement.
Yes. The four-piece design allows the base to be separated into individual sections, making it easier to carry, transport, and store. Empty the plates before disassembling and moving them to make handling easier.
No. Although the four weighted plates help stabilize the umbrella's cross base, they do not make the umbrella windproof. Close and secure your umbrella during strong winds, storms, or other severe weather conditions to help prevent damage and maintain safety.
