Know before you buy
Installation is straightforward if you are comfortable working with concrete or digging into soft soil. However, if you are mounting it into existing concrete, you will need a masonry drill and appropriate anchor bolts to ensure a secure, level fit.
This plate is designed to work with most Frankford freestanding umbrellas, but compatibility can vary based on the specific pole diameter and umbrella size. We recommend verifying your umbrella model's requirements against the 8.5” x 14” footprint of the plate before purchasing.
Unlike a weighted base that sits on top of your patio, this plate is permanently anchored into the ground. This provides a much smaller, cleaner footprint and superior stability, as it eliminates the risk of the base tipping over in high winds.
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for in-ground installation into soft soil or concrete. For wooden decks, you would typically need a surface-mount plate or a deck-specific anchoring system.
The plate is built for outdoor durability, but like any metal component exposed to the elements, its lifespan depends on your local climate and soil conditions. It is designed to withstand outdoor use, though regular inspection of the hardware is recommended to ensure long-term integrity.
