Why Purchase a Parasol Base?

Using a parasol without a base is dangerous as it can fly away and hurt someone standing in the vicinity. You can always plant down a beach umbrella to the seaside sand but for gardens or parks, having a proper base is more than recommended. 

How to Choose the Right Parasol Base

Choosing the right parasol base depends on a few key factors:

• Weight matters: Heavier parasols (especially cantilever designs) require heavier bases.
• Pole size compatibility: Ensure the base fits your parasol pole (commonly 35mm-48mm)
• Wind exposure: Open or windy gardens need more stable, heavier bases
• Material durability: Granite, cast iron, and HDPE plastic offer long-lasting performance
• Style preference: Match your base with your garden décor for a cohesive look
