Outdoor umbrellas like our Patio Style Umbrella and Market Style Umbrella are not equipped to stand up on their own-- they need a secure place to be planted. This Steel Umbrella Base is the perfect way to securely fasten them in place so that they do not tilt or fall over. Its versatile size is designed to suit either of our outdoor umbrellas. It has a wide base that grants them plenty of stability, even on windy days. However, the base is completely flat, so that it does not get in the way. Outdoor furniture such as beach chairs can even be placed directly on top of it. Its unintrusive design with sleek black painted finish looks great without drawing attention away from the colorful fabric of the umbrella itself. And since the base is portable, it can conveniently and easily be moved around to any location where it is needed.
