Complete your outdoor shade setup with this black 48cm umbrella base featuring a modular four-plate water-fillable design. Intended for compatible 3m Roma-style outdoor umbrellas, the base provides additional ballast when filled with water. Its black polyethylene construction, integrated carry handles and individual plate design make it a practical addition to patios, gardens and outdoor entertaining areas.
Each plate can hold approximately 15kg of water ballast when filled, providing a combined stated water-loaded weight of approximately 60kg across the four plates. In addition, the set weighs 7.1kg when empty, making it easier to position before filling. The modular arrangement allows the plates to be handled individually when preparing or relocating your umbrella setup.

48cm Umbrella Base with Four Water-Fillable Plates
The modular construction uses four individual water-fillable plates to create a weighted umbrella base arrangement.
Before filling, the set weighs approximately 7.1kg. As a result, the plates are easier to position than a permanently weighted base of comparable filled weight.
Once arranged and filled according to the supplied instructions, the four plates provide approximately 60kg of water-loaded ballast in total.
This added weight helps support a compatible outdoor umbrella under appropriate conditions. However, the umbrella manufacturer’s instructions should always determine the required base weight and installation method.
Designed for Compatible 3m Roma Outdoor Umbrellas
This four-plate umbrella base is intended for compatible Roma-style outdoor umbrellas with a canopy width of approximately 3m.
Its modular configuration makes it suitable for use with a matching umbrella support arrangement, subject to the umbrella’s fitting dimensions and manufacturer requirements.
Because umbrella stands and cross-base fittings vary between models, check the mounting arrangement and dimensions before ordering. A 3m canopy size alone does not guarantee compatibility.
Black PE Plastic Construction for Outdoor Use
The umbrella base plates are made from black polyethylene (PE) plastic. The supplier describes the material as UV and weather-resistant for outdoor applications.
Furthermore, the black finish can complement different umbrella canopy colours and outdoor furniture designs.
Whether placed on a suitable patio, courtyard or garden surface, the modular base provides a practical way to add ballast to a compatible umbrella arrangement.
Integrated Carry Handles for Easier Positioning
Each plate features a carry handle to assist with handling and positioning when empty.
For example, you can move the plates individually into place before filling them with water. This can be useful when arranging outdoor furniture or preparing a new shade area.
When relocating the base, empty the plates first and move them individually as required. Afterwards, reassemble and refill the base according to the supplied instructions.
48cm Umbrella Base for Patios and Gardens
Use this black four-plate base as part of a compatible outdoor umbrella setup for patios, gardens, courtyards and outdoor entertaining spaces.
The fillable design offers an alternative to fixed concrete or metal weights, allowing you to add ballast after positioning the plates.
