Full details
The VD Home Furnishing Granite Sun Umbrella Base is designed for homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts who require a stable, reliable foundation for their patio umbrellas. Its primary benefit is the 10kg granite weight, which provides exceptional stability during breezy conditions; however, the weight may be difficult to move frequently if you often relocate your umbrella around the garden or patio.

FAQs
Is this base suitable for all umbrella types?
It is designed for standard sun umbrellas. Use the included adapter to ensure a snug fit for smaller pole diameters.
Can I leave this outside during winter?
While granite is durable, we recommend storing it indoors or in a shed during winter to protect it from extreme frost cycles.
Does the granite stain easily?
Granite is a natural stone and can absorb liquids if left untreated. Wipe up spills, such as bird droppings or tree sap, as soon as possible.
Are the locking bolts rust-proof?
The bolts are designed for outdoor use, but it is good practice to keep them clean and dry to prolong their lifespan.
Can this base support a large cantilever umbrella?
No, a 10kg base is designed for standard vertical parasols. Cantilever umbrellas usually require much heavier bases or floor-anchoring systems.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella feels loose in the base
Ensure the included adapter is properly installed and verify that both locking bolts are tightened firmly against the pole.
Base wobbles on patio floor
Check if the ground surface is level. If the patio stones are uneven, consider placing the base on a flatter section or adjusting the pavers underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your base, place it on a level surface to ensure maximum stability. Insert your umbrella pole into the central hole, and use the included adapter if the pole is smaller than the base opening. Tighten both locking bolts by hand until the umbrella is held firmly in place.
For maintenance, wipe the granite surface periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and pollen. If you experience heavy freezing conditions in your area, it is recommended to store the base indoors or under a cover to prevent potential water ingress and frost cracking.
