Know before you buy
No, the concrete pavers are not included. You will need to purchase twelve 16x16x2 inch pavers separately to reach the full 480 lb weight capacity.
Yes, the base is designed to be used either with or without the optional locking casters. Without the wheels, the unit stands at 6.5 inches high.
Absolutely. Because it can be weighted up to 480 lbs, it provides the necessary stability for freestanding umbrellas in most residential settings, though you can also use it under a dining table.
The galvanized steel construction is specifically chosen for its resistance to corrosion and longevity in outdoor environments. The matte silver anodized aluminum lid also provides an extra layer of protection against the elements.
If you opt for the locking caster wheels, the base is easy to reposition despite its significant weight. We recommend using the wheels if you anticipate needing to move the umbrella frequently for cleaning or shade adjustments.
