Know before you buy
This stand is compatible with any umbrella pole up to 1¾ inches in diameter. As long as your pole diameter is within this range, it will fit securely.
Yes, the two-part stem design is specifically engineered for versatility. You can use the shorter stem configuration when placing the umbrella through a table, or the full-length stem for freestanding use.
The 50 lb. cast-iron construction provides a solid, stable foundation for most standard market umbrellas. However, if you live in a particularly windy area, we recommend using the optional Market Umbrella Base Weight for added security.
The powder-coat finish is designed for outdoor durability and resistance to the elements. To keep it looking its best, simply wipe it down occasionally with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust or debris.
The stand measures 9 1/4 inches high when using the shorter stem configuration and 19 3/4 inches high when using the full stem. The base itself has a diameter of 19 1/2 inches.
