Know before you buy
This base is specifically engineered for table use. Because it is designed to be paired with a stem and beauty plate, it relies on the table's support to keep the umbrella pole perfectly upright and stable.
You can stack up to three of these 185lb plates. This modular design allows you to increase the total weight to 555lbs if you are in an area with particularly high wind exposure.
Galvanized steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor environments. To keep it looking its best, simply rinse it with water and a mild soap periodically to remove salt or debris buildup.
Yes, the base includes a stainless steel beauty plate and the necessary stem components to secure your umbrella pole. Please ensure your umbrella pole diameter is compatible with the stem provided.
The 40-inch diameter provides a very wide, stable footprint, so you should measure the clearance between your table legs to ensure it fits comfortably underneath. It is a substantial base, so it works best with larger dining tables that have open leg configurations.
