Nothing beats being in the garden on a sunny day, and our parasols and large parasol bases are perfect for helping you relax in the shade. Parasols are great for shielding you from the sun and are ideal for keeping food out of the sun when you're dining al fresco. Choose from concrete, cement, and stylish granite and stone-detailed parasol bases that'll secure your parasol in place. We even have plastic overhanging parasol bases that just need filling with water to weigh them down, making them perfectly portable. Don't forget to pick up your parasol at wilko.

FAQs

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!

How do I choose a parasol base?

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. Don’t forget the style of the base! Get something that will match the vibe of your outdoor garden furniture.

Should you fill a parasol base with sand or water?

Here's a tip: fill the base with sand. It'll keep your bench 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 base 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 base is heavy enough, and add weights (sandbags) to keep it stable. Tighten the bolt holding the garden umbrella in place. Drill holes to secure your base to the patio floor. And here's a pro tip: keep the umbrella closed when it's windy to avoid it from flying away!
