FAQ's

How heavy should your parasol base be?

The exact weight depends on the size and location of use. A 30-50kg base is safe for smaller parasols with 2 to 3.5-metre umbrellas. You want the base heavy enough to maintain the parasol’s position. Remember, it should not be too heavy to move it around!

Think about its weight and stability, especially on windy days. Choose concrete or metal bases that won’t be affected by a few rain showers - or you could pick up a cover for your outdoor furniture to keep it safe and dry. Don’t forget the style of the base! Get something that will match the vibe of your outdoor garden furniture.

Here's a tip: fill the base with sand. It'll keep your umbrella steady even on windy days, and you won't have to top it up as frequently. While water works too, it might not offer the same stability, even though moving around is easier.

Can you put a parasol stand into the ground?

Yes, you can put a parasol base into the ground. If using sand for the in-ground base, water it every few inches while pressing it firmly to increase stability. If using concrete, avoid attaching the parasol to the pole for seven days until it's dried completely.

How do I stop my patio umbrella from spinning?

Make sure the umbrella base is heavy enough, and add weights to keep it stable. Tighten the bolt holding the garden umbrella in place. Drill holes to secure your base to the patio floor.

Here's a pro tip: keep the umbrella closed when it's windy to avoid it from flying away!
