Abba Patio 4Pcs Offset Umbrella Base Plastic Cantilever Base Weights Plate Set, Water&Sand Filled Umbrella Base for Cantilever Offset Patio Umbrella, 179lb Black

tried getting creative and cut out the opening of an old water bottle or milk jug it fits nice and snug into the Tie the weight to my fence to help it stay in place and lean it against my fence post. I filled it with sand and used a hose on a jet setting to get sand to flow in, making the weights Having come up with each in less than five minutes each, I found it very easy to implement. There's no doubt this will save an enormous amount of time for DIYers.

It is important to use DRY sand for quick filling

1) Do not let it clump up when you are filling it. The company Quikrete was used by me from 1962 until now

2) Tape the funnel to the plate opening if the package says "kiln dried"

51 Medium Sand is "kiln dried" on the package. Due to some reason, the funnel will not fit inside the opening. all you have to do is place it against the opening and tape it up all the way. Once you have poured in the sand, you can start digging. You will probably have to fill out each one in a minute or so.

It appears to be durable and well made. I really like these umbrella stands that fit the umbrella perfectly and they are definitely required if you want your umbrella to stay upright. For every unit, I used one bag of paver sand (about 0. 3 lbs. feet) and it didn't seem to be full yet. I had a minor problem with my sand being moist in the plastic bags it came in, so I could not simply shake it After spooning it in with a trowel, we took over an hour to do this. The problem does not belong to the maker, but you still need to be aware of it. Many people complained about how difficult it was to remove the caps As long as I used the trowel, it was easy to pry them off. Your goal is for them to feel snug. A weight of 34-35 pounds already exists The weight of the baby is 37 pounds. There is a considerable weight in each section, and even on windy days, it seems sufficient. If I need to add more sand and water, I can do so. My only hesitation was that the units tended to slip slightly as the pole flexed in the wind, and I was worried that they could be accidentally blown off the base's cross legs. In order to remedy this, I constructed a simple "collar" that holds Here is a picture of the picture we've just taken. There is obviously no attachment to the units. They just hope to prevent their motion.

I have had no problems with these so far. filled them with water since we did not have any sand on hand, as well as because I liked the idea of being able to dump it out at the end of the season and store them much more easily. I'm not concerned about the umbrella falling over because they hold it up while I put the water in.

I was pleased with how well it was made and how well it looked. The sections have been criticized for being challenging to fill out in some reviews. In plastic bags, I purchased 160 pounds of dry "Play Sand" from Home Depot. In order to make a funnel, I cut up a one gallon plastic bottle in half. It was fortunate that the funnel neck fit tightly into the filler neck of the weights, so there was no need to hold the funnel The four of them can be filled in less than ten minutes by one person. My opinion is also the same as others, the supplied "funnel" is.

Why spend hundreds of dollars on a cast iron base when you can get a concrete disc for $150? Alternative options like this could be good. Sand, of course, is not included in this package, only the 4 pieces of the base and a simple funnel. There were approximately 1 ounces of fill in it. There's 5 cubic feet of play sand and water in the umbrella to help make it heavier. Overall, I would say that filling this with sand was a pleasant experience. As the instructions said to fill it with Quick Sand, I opted to use regular play sand because I could not find it at the local home improvement store. It took me about an hour to fill all four pieces. all you intend to do is fill each piece up with water without any sand, this product is not the right one Although this is not a screw-on cap, it can be used to create an air tight seal with 3 KG (or approximately 12 cups) of water. The water recommended by the manufacturer is probably low enough so that the cap does not touch it when the bottle lays Here is what's good about it Please note I have provided the plastic funnel* and it is already in use - With four pieces, it is easier on your shoulders and back - and less stressful on your legs and back after it has filled with sand and water. The top side is decorated, comparing it to a concrete disc, so it does not look completely boring. Please note I have to hold the funnel using one hand to make sure it is loosely aligned with the opening since the funnel is slightly bigger than the opening. It would have been better if the funnel had been the right size and shape, where it could sit on the open, so it could fill far more efficiently. Moreover, the play sand I bought was a bit wet and damp Too much stickiness makes it more difficult to fill, which makes the experience worse. I think it would be easier to fill if the sand were completely dry.

We received the order on March 3, 2021, and this weekend, we filled it up with sand (80%), then filled it with morning, I noticed there was a leak in each one of the weights. However, water and sand were present on the patio even though the plastic caps were in place. Rinsing the patio and them on end required me to stand them on end. There is air escaping from the unit now, but I do not know from which unit. In case they leak by Thursday of this week, I will return the item. If there is still leakage on 4/4/21 (next week), I will have them returned. Filled with sand, I was quite surprised at how much time and effort it took, and the idea of emptying and returning to the sand was quite inconvenient. Thank you for returning my call. I'd like you to advise me on how to prevent the leak. I would like to keep these units if Please accept my sincere thanks.
