Know before you buy
Yes, the plate is engineered for both surfaces. You will simply need to ensure you use the appropriate hardware—such as lag bolts for wood or masonry anchors for concrete—to secure it properly.
The mounting plate is designed to work with Frankford umbrellas, but you should verify your specific umbrella pole diameter against the plate's opening to ensure a snug, wobble-free fit.
The powder-coated galvanized steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for outdoor environments. While it is built for durability, periodic cleaning will help maintain the finish over many seasons.
This plate is versatile enough for both setups. Because it bolts directly into your deck or concrete, it provides a very stable, low-profile anchor that works well whether the umbrella is tucked under a dining table or standing alone.
No, the mounting hardware is not included. Because the plate can be installed on various materials like concrete, wood, or composite decking, you will need to purchase the specific bolts or anchors that match your surface type.
