Water Filled Patio Umbrella Base

[Color: Black, Style: 82 lbs]
American made product. This umbrella stand is .durable and well constructed.Easy to assemble. Competitively priced. It can be filled with water or sand for the sturdiness and stability of the umbrella. I recommend this company and this umbrella stand.

I don’t think this stand is strong enough for 9’ umbrella. Mine fell over in the wind.

I bought this base to make my EliteShade Atlas Cantilever Umbrella moveable. That was difficult to accomplish.I live in Las Vegas with very little rain or moisture in the air. After 6 months, this base was already rusting on the chrome-plated feet and at the weld joints on the frame. I'm thinking its going to take significant maintenance to keep it looking decent.That said, the base is very easy to set up. Filling the four tanks in the base with water makes it plenty heavy. There's trick to getting the tanks in and out of the base and each one is fairly heavy, but that's a minor inconvenience until you lean the trick. The base is very sturdy one the tanks are filled.The step-pedal mechanism for turning the base works smoothly to adjust the placement.Moving the base is tricky. The Atlas Umbrella hangs about 5 feet out from the base and weighs about 50 pounds. That means there is a significant moment-arm on the base trying the tip it over. I can lighten the base by removing the tanks on the side that the umbrella hangs and use a lever to lift the base to insert dollies under the wheels (umbrella-side first!). Two people can then move it, one holds the pole while the other moves the base.If you want the umbrella in only one place, get the kind that you bury. It will be worth the effort.

I’m really happy with this EliteShade umbrella base. It’s super easy to fill with water (or sand if you want it even heavier), and once it’s full, it holds my patio umbrella nice and steady — even on breezy days. The material feels strong and durable, and I like that it has built-in handles, which make it easy to move when it’s empty.It looks clean and simple on my patio, and it fits perfectly with my umbrella pole. I’ve had no issues with tipping or wobbling. The only small thing is that it’s a bit bulky to move once filled, but that’s kind of expected with any heavy base.Overall, it’s a great, sturdy umbrella stand that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Totally worth it for the peace of mind on windy days!

I just purchased my third one for my patio. I bought two about 3 years ago for my two balcony umbrellas. I needed something that wasn't too heavy to carry, yet would hold the patio umbrellas without a problem. These did that beautifully. So light and easy to carry when they are empty, but fill them with water and they firmly hold the umbrella's, even in strong winds. I just moved to a larger place and it was so easy to tip them to empty the water so they could be easily moved. This place has an additional patio, so bought the 3rd one for an umbrella for that area. And, they have held up like new despite, rain and sun for 3 years. And, I have never had to refill the reservoir.

This is all around a 5-star product. I only gave it 2-stars for maneuverability because you aren’t supposed to maneuver this one around once you fill it with sand/water. It’s heavy for a reason. They could add wheels, but in the region I live, winds have destroyed every umbrella base with wheels I’ve owned. In fact, we get a new base every year because wind destroys our stands. This one was worth every penny!! It’s sturdy, and the umbrella goes all the way down into the heavy duty round base which secures it better than any thin metal tube-stand ever has. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Excellent product.Update: still going strong. As for the maneuvering, I just tilt it a bit on its side and roll it on its round base to its new location. Not a dealbreaker at all and doable without much hassle.
