Do I Need to Buy an Umbrella Base?
Yes, an umbrella base is crucial for the stability of your umbrella. However, if you already have one, you may not need to purchase a new base—as long as it fits the standard 1.5" pole insert used in all our market and tilt umbrellas.
Our bases come in round or square designs and can be matched to your umbrella frame color for a cohesive look. If you’re unsure about sizing or compatibility, feel free to reach out to us for guidance!
What Does the 10-Year Limited Warranty Cover for Umbrella Bases?
Our 10-Year Limited Warranty covers umbrella bases against normal wear and
tear, ensuring they maintain their durability and functionality over time. This includes protection against manufacturing defects and material breakdown during
regular use.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by extreme weather events like hurricanes or misuse, such as improper installation or overloading.
To file a warranty claim for your base, simply open a support ticket with us, and
we’ll guide you through the process. Your satisfaction is our priority!
How Much Weight Do I Need for My Umbrella?
The weight you need for your umbrella base depends on the size of your umbrella.
Here’s a quick guide:
- 6–7 ft umbrellas: A base weighing 25–35 lbs is typically sufficient.
- 8–9 ft umbrellas: Opt for a base weighing 50–75 lbs for added stability.
- 10–11 ft umbrellas: A heavier base of 75–100 lbs is recommended to keep the umbrella secure, especially in breezy conditions.
For larger umbrellas or areas with frequent wind, always err on the side of a heavier base. If you need help choosing the right one, let us know—we’re happy to assist!
