A cast iron base for freestanding market umbrellas. Weight is the whole point of a base — an underweighted one lets the umbrella walk across the patio in a breeze, and eventually go over.

Key features

Cast iron construction for genuine holding weight
Adapter rings for common pole diameters
Thumb screws to lock the pole in place
Flat underside that sits level on hard surfaces

Materials

Cast iron with a protective powder-coated finish over the surface.

Intended use

Freestanding market and rectangular umbrellas used away from a table.

Assembly

No assembly. Fit the correct adapter ring for your pole and tighten the screws.

Care

Keep the finish intact and touch up chips promptly — exposed cast iron will develop surface rust and can mark paving beneath it.

What's included

Base and pole adapter rings.

Not included

Umbrella sold separately. Not suitable as a base for cantilever umbrellas, which need a dedicated cross base or weight plates.
