50cm Umbrella Base with Four Water-Fillable Plates
The modular design uses four individual plates to create a weighted umbrella base arrangement. Each plate can be filled with water after it has been positioned according to the supplied instructions.
When filled, each plate provides approximately 16kg of water ballast. Together, the four plates deliver up to 64kg of stated water-loaded ballast to help support a suitable umbrella.
As a result, the base offers an alternative to permanently weighted umbrella stands. You can position the plates while empty and add the required water afterwards.
Suitable for Selected 2.7m, 3m and 4.57m Umbrellas
This black four-plate base is designed for compatible outdoor umbrella arrangements with canopy widths of approximately 2.7m, 3m or 4.57m.
However, umbrella mounting arrangements and required ballast vary between models. Before purchasing, check the dimensions of your umbrella’s support frame and the manufacturer’s recommended base requirements.
The modular plates must fit the intended umbrella support arrangement. Canopy width alone does not establish compatibility.
Black PE Plastic with UV and Weather Resistance
The base is manufactured from black polyethylene (PE) plastic. The supplier describes the material as UV and weather-resistant, making it intended for outdoor umbrella applications.
Furthermore, the black finish can complement a variety of umbrella canopy colours and outdoor furniture arrangements.
Whether you’re furnishing a patio, courtyard or suitable garden area, the water-fillable construction offers a practical way to add weight to your umbrella setup.
Integrated Carry Handles for Convenient Positioning
The plates include integrated carry handles to assist with handling and relocation when empty.
Because the complete set weighs approximately 8.5kg before filling, you can position the plates individually rather than move the fully weighted arrangement.
For relocation, empty the plates first. Then move them to the new location and refill the base according to the user manual.
50cm Umbrella Base for Patios and Outdoor Areas
This four-plate umbrella base can form part of a compatible shade arrangement for patios, courtyards, gardens and outdoor entertaining areas.
Its water-fillable design allows you to add ballast after positioning the plates, while the removable water weight makes the base more practical to relocate when required.
