BrackenStyle Concrete Parasol Base - Concrete Anchor For Parasols and Garden Umbrellas - Black 15kg

my order arrived a week earlier than expected so well done , it’s very simple to put together , the metal supporting tube just screws onto the base , there are three plastic reducing rings of smaller diameters supplied to ensure pole is a good fit , my pole is 38 mm and fits perfectly , and a metal tightening screw which grips the parasol pole securely ,i have also used a weight bag with 30 kgs of sand which sits snugly on top of and the base , so now there are 45 kgs to keep the parasol firmly upright, it feels very sturdy and doesn’t move at all , and if that not enough i could put another 30 kgs sand weight bag on top of the existing one !!! problem of 2.7 mt parasol falling over now solved .

It was a bit fiddly to assemble, mainly because of the weight, so would recommend it as a two person job. We have it under a table supporting a 3m diameter umbrella with 38mm pole. I have had the umbrella up on a gusty, breezy day and it worked really well!

This is a good heavy concrete base for a stand alone brolly. It does not fit under the Brackenstyle picnic tables that have integral seats on them as the column is too high - or the access hole is too narrow! I had to cut about 75mm of the tube which included the grub screw to secure the brolley to get it to fit. In addition the concrete edges are so fragile that in the process of positioning it on our concrete yard the edges have all chipped leaving the underlying concrete showing through - not very attractive but I suppose a bit of paint will sort that! There is a smaller flat brolly stand that is available for use with picnic tables that will save you all the trouble.

You would think that at 15kg nothing could go wrong..Sadly that isn't the case.Firstly as you can see from my picture, its cracked, broken, knackered.I have no idea how high you have to drop this from to break as it arrived damaged, but the point is ..... they do crack !!!Also, as you can see, I've attempted to use it, and the pole sits at a funny angle. No amount of adjustment will get the dam thing to sit straight !I've since bought a plastic one and filled it with water. Much better, half the price, and won't break.Plastic doesnt break easily... this does. Look elsewhere !!

Excellent! I looked all over the internet for a parasol base. Didn’t try the shops due to Covid situation and because these things are so heavy it would be a nightmare to transport. After trying to find that was in stock that wasn’t silly money I settled on this one. Very happy with my purchase. Easy to put together. Did it myself without issue. Solid and sturdy. Our parasol has been left out for weeks standing in the centre of a patio table with this underneath. Had the parasol up too in light wind and didn’t budge. So it’s fit for purpose in my opinion. Get one. Better than the ones you fill with water

Edges chip easily so you need to be very careful when moving it around. Black paint comes in very handy to hide mishaps. Otherwise does the job well.

Brilliant product and amazingly fast delivery. Totally had enough of those water filled bases that end up leaking and don't stand strong when the wind blows - and the parasol leans precariously, threatening to fall at any moment! This heavy base works perfectly - so pleased I purchased!

It was rather difficult to insert my parasol into the base and I had to resort to lubrications and a lot of twisting and turning. However once attached it has proved an excellent purchase and does not wobble at all.
