Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy should my parasol base be?
As a general guide: a 2m parasol needs a base of at least 15kg, a 2.7m to 3m parasol needs 25kg or more, and a 4m or larger parasol may require 50kg or above. Always check the parasol manufacturer's recommendation for the minimum base weight for your specific model.
What materials are parasol bases made from?
Parasol bases are available in cast iron, granite, concrete, and plastic with sand or water filling. Cast iron and granite bases are the most durable and weather-resistant, while fillable plastic bases offer a lighter option that is easier to transport and store.
Will a parasol base fit all parasol poles?
Most parasol bases are designed to fit standard pole diameters of 38mm, 48mm, or 50mm. Many bases include adaptor rings to accommodate different pole sizes. Always check the pole diameter of your parasol against the base specifications before purchasing.
Can I use a parasol base on decking?
Yes — parasol bases can be used on decking, though we recommend placing a protective mat underneath to prevent scratching. For very heavy bases, check that your decking can support the weight, particularly if it is elevated or older.
Do you offer free delivery on parasol bases?
Yes, we offer free UK mainland delivery on all parasol bases. Heavier bases are delivered via specialist courier due to their weight. Delivery timescales are shown on each product page.
