Manor Park Powder Coated Square Resin Patio Umbrella Base

I bought this Umbrella Base to support a 9' umbrella that would not additionally be supported by going through a table. I got the flat base thinking we could screw it to our deck if there was a problem with stability. (We did NOT need to do this.) It has worked out great. We do put the umbrella down when not in use and there has been no issue. We recently had a horrendous thunderstorm with marble size hail pelting our house and my (closed) patio umbrella and there was no issue. I highly recommend this base if you are someone who would close the umbrella when not in use. Also, since it is flat, one could easily put heavy patio blocks on top of it for additional stability if the umbrella is to be left open. It also comes with an insert that is designed to accommodate different sized umbrella pole diameters. Our pole is 1.5 inches and it's nice and tight! Love it!
