These are a great buy. Unlike some cantilever bases they're enormously heavy, exactly what you need in a world where the winds are due to get more windy and the weather more extreme. What better way to protect your investment in a top quality cantilever garden umbrella?
Weighing in at anything between 80kg and 100kg, some come with more than one part, for example four parts, and others are all-in-one. Plastic covered concrete is always a great choice. Because water is very heavy, a water-filled base is a great idea too. Because it's lighter when empty, it's easier to carry around. Some have wheels, some don't. And we have a stunning - and very heavy - granite version for you, a wheeled parasol base that's very attractive as well as effective.
Whichever you choose they all do exactly what they say on the tin. They're also good looking, simply designed, and unobtrusive. Which one will suit your garden umbrella best?
FAQs on Cantilever Parasol Bases
A cantilever parasol base is a weighted support system designed to stabilize offset or side-post parasols. Unlike traditional center-post umbrellas, cantilever parasols require a sturdy base placed at the edge of the canopy to prevent tipping and ensure safety, especially in windy conditions.
When selecting a base, consider the following factors:
- Weight: The base should be heavy enough to counterbalance the parasol. A general guideline is to use a base weighing at least 50 kg for a 3m umbrella and up to 100 kg for larger sizes.
- Material: Opt for durable materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or concrete-filled bases for longevity and stability.
- Portability: Features like wheels or handles can make moving the base easier.
- Compatibility: Ensure the base is compatible with your parasol's cross-base height and pole diameter.
Cantilever parasol bases come in various designs:
- Fillable Bases: These can be filled with sand or water to achieve the desired weight. They are versatile and easy to transport when empty.
- Concrete Bases: Pre-filled with concrete, these bases offer maximum stability but are heavier and less portable.
- Modular Bases: Comprising multiple interlocking sections, these bases allow for adjustable weight and easy storage.
Proper maintenance includes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the base with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Check for Damage: Inspect the base for cracks or wear, especially if it's exposed to extreme weather conditions.
- Storage: When not in use, store the base in a dry, sheltered location to prolong its lifespan.
