Patio Cantilever Offset Umbrella Base with Wheels for Garden Poolside Deck

This is one heavy weighted umbrella stand for its size and not being made of metal. Glad it won’t rust and make marks on my new transcend deck. Looks great and color matches our cast aluminum table perfectly. May buy another one for the table at the pool. Great item.

A friend of mine had the large name brand umbrella stand and I was there when we put it together. It basically comes in two halves and has a small opening the size of a hose to dump water in. The holes are small enough you could never put sand in it or if you did, you've never get it out, and it had no wheels to move afterwards. Once you fill it, you don't move it. I live in a windy area so I needed a heavy base. That name brand base holds something around a max of 240lbs. I'm going to mate this with a 12' umbrella in a high wind area, I need something heavy. This costway umbrella stand is SO MUCH better than the name brand stand. It's a little bulkier size wise, but it's so much more functional. First, it comes with 5 containers with LARGE openings. I was able to fill them with sand, use my fist through the hole to pack the sand in, and continue to fill. Plus, because there are five containers, you can move them individually without killing yourself. These five containers sit in a steal frame that has a lever to engage the wheels. After you put the containers in in the frame, you put the cover on, attach the umbrella and you can engage the wheels for final positioning. 4 bolts and I had no issues attaching the name brand, let's call it "orange tree branch" umbrella. The wheels role relatively well over a composite deck even with the 1/4" gap between boards. The cover looks nice as it's solid with no holes for filling contents. It's HEAVY and it does a great job holding the umbrella safely, even in a windy environment. Oh, and the stand is almost 1/2 what it costs to buy the name brand stand. Buying this stand is a no brainer.

It’s super easy to put together and use. The containers have large opening’s, which makes it easy to add and remove material. I filled each container with a little more than .5 cu ft of gravel, which seems to be plenty heavy to keep the umbrella in place. Step on the pedal once and the base locks in place. Roll the umbrella where you want and step on the pedal again set it in place.

Easy to assemble and to manuver. one minor negative, is that you have to remove the umbrella verticle base stand in order to fill or drain balast modules. Minor inconvenience, in that you most like won't need to drain or fill the modules after initial setup.

Wow, this thing is great.......simple to set up, just take it out of the box....has large wheels, that make it very easy to move around. and, the wheels can be locked in place. Its the one if you have a very large umbrella.
