Product Information

Full details

This Harbour Housewares Green Parasol Base is designed for garden owners needing a stable and reliable way to secure their parasols, offering a shaded outdoor space. Its main benefit is the generous 20-litre capacity, allowing for substantial weight to be added. A key consideration is that it requires filling with sand, water, or other materials, which is not included.

FAQs

What materials can I use to fill the parasol base?

You can use water, sand, or a mixture of both. Sand generally provides greater stability and weight.

How much weight does the base provide when filled?

The base has a 20-litre capacity. The actual weight will depend on the density of the filling material used (e.g., water weighs approximately 1kg per litre, sand weighs more).

Does the base come with a parasol pole?

No, this product is for the parasol base weight only. The parasol and pole are sold separately.

What are the dimensions of the base?

The dimensions are: Width: 42cm, Depth: 43cm, Height: 22cm.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Harbour Housewares Parasol Base comes with a 2-year warranty.

Can I leave the base filled with water over winter?

It is not recommended to leave water in the base during freezing temperatures, as the expanding ice can damage the polypropylene. Empty the base before winter.

Is the green colour fade-resistant?

While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause slight fading over time. Standard UV protective measures for outdoor plastics apply.

Troubleshooting

Parasol feels unstable

Ensure the base is filled to its maximum capacity with a suitable weighting material like sand or water. Check that the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base.

Water leaking from the base

Check that the fill cap is securely closed and free from debris. Inspect the base for any cracks or damage.

Base is difficult to move when filled

This is expected due to the weight. It is best to position the base before filling it, or empty some of the filling material if repositioning is necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a level, stable surface for the parasol base.
  2. Open the fill cap.
  3. Fill the base with your chosen weighting material (e.g., water, sand). Ensure not to overfill.
  4. Securely close the fill cap.
  5. Insert the parasol pole into the designated central opening.
