Abba Patio 55 lb with Wheels Patio Umbrella Base Heavy Duty Round 28 inch Diameter Steel Outdoor Market Umbrella Base Stand for Deck, Lawn, Garden, Pool, Brown

As I was planning to send this to Texas I had purchased the $30 unit from Home Depot recently and was expecting a similar size unit. However, upon closer inspection, the unit's dimensions and weight appeared to be much larger. In the end, I wouldn't need a set like Rock of Gibraltar unless I really needed it Do you want to keep my 10' patio umbrella firmly planted on the ground? However, once I had set up the Home Depot base, I realized I was paying for what I got. 1

It is interesting to see the difference that the LARGE base of the Abba Patio base provides for! The area of "security/stability" / on-line stability is three times larger than that of the military In the - An anchoring factor for the ground above that provided by Hampton Bay's kindergarten Modeled after a dollhouse. - Breathe. -Breathe. Hampton's (and all other lower priced brands) concrete is made from 55 pounds of 1/4" thick STEEL, while Abba is made from 55 pounds of 1/4" thick STEEL. When the Hampton types are exposed to climate change over a coupleing of seasons and tossed back and forth across the patio, they start to crumble. As time goes by, rates are on the rise. 1. 2. 3. Unlike the Hampton Bay, which featured only one small screw for anchoring the pole to the base, the Abba featured TWO screws with an "industrial" size (to FIRMLY secure the umbrella pole once inserted into the Abba's stand's umbrella 2. 3. 4. Additionally, I had no doubts about the Abba's superior fit, compared to the Hampton Bay's relatively sloppy fit. This, added to the super tight fit of the Abba pole receiver, makes the Abba well worth the extra money. For your information There is a good chance that the Abba stand is the only stand that would not have blown away with the whirlwind if a tornado were to come this way. This is why the Wicked Witch of the East has now taken up residence on our Abba patio umbrella stand.

Luckily, it's large enough that Dorothy and Toto can also hang out on it when foul weather rises Those ugly flying monkeys have no place in your room?.

This is the best product I've purchased on Amazon after over 1000 purchases. Is that possible? Yes, I agree. The base of a large market umbrella with a marble base had been causing issues for some time. Being able to find this base after 2 years of frustration with the base constantly loosening and tipping has been a real Reviewers have said that it is good, so I was curious to find out how good it is. Everyone who has reviewed it has praised it for everything. In any case, no one moves these things anyway! Low center of gravity), low friction. Since it has a large diameter, it is extremely stable, making it very difficult to tip. When I find a well-engineered product that has been designed to do the mundane in the best way, I am generally happy. A big thanks to the person who realized what was going on. This book is well worth the price.

Here is what went wrong It was important for me to be able to easily maneuver my umbrella to block the sun wherever it was necessary. Even if you tilt the cart to just the right angle and don't have too bumpy a surface, it works to some degree, but it is so heavy and cumbersome that it is easier to just pick it up and carry it. Let me tell you the good news I purchased bigger casters from a local hardware store, drilled holes in the base, and attached them, and it works just fine. The weight of the handle keeps the umbrella secure and provides a sturdy support. It is very convenient, since you can now maneuver it very easily. If the manufacturer would just save its customers the trouble of this aftermarket fix and do the wheels right the first time, then this would be a perfect product.

The umbrella is ideal because it is heavy, the umbrella pole is secured with two screws, and it has a rubber-coated handle This fits into the hole that seals out rainwater at the end of the season (no more rusty water draining out). Because the base is very flat, there is no toe stubbing, and if you like, you could place an outdoor rug on top of it without it Aside from that, the diameter and weight of this umbrella guarantee that it will withstand winds of over 10 mph without falling over (at this speed I do close the umbrella, but I don't notice any wind wobbling). Over one season (stored overwinter), the rich chocolate brown power coated steel base did not rust. There is a black frame on my chair and it blends quite well with the wood. My second purchase of this base will be used on a patio area to be added later. It has been a good experience.

There is no doubt that it is heavy, but having wheels makes it even better. Since now I can move my umbrellas with the sun, I can protect myself from the rain and sun. I love it! The fact that they are flat is another plus for free standing umbrellas, as well as having a nice, It may be expensive, but it does not matter when you could lose an $850 table, as I did, on account of the umbrella being blown away.

Thanks for the update. Over the course of a year, I dropped the rating from 5 to 4. There is a lot of sharpness to the edges of this base. In so many cases, the edges of the box dig into the deck when I move it. I love this product, it is It was very thin and wide, which was what sold me on it. I wanted a thin base to fit under the sofa due to the angle of the sun throughout Since the material was so thin, I wanted a wide piece that would handle wind well. The shape of the object means that it can be difficult It's true that the wheels are helpful. I do this because bending the base to an extreme angle causes the wheels to not make contact with the deck and/or the edges to scratch it. There is no way I can roll it around the circular base (if that makes sense) because I cannot roll it around the edges. The surface will be scratched, but it will not be dangerous. As a result, I had to move it by picking it up, which was a bit heavier solution. The base alone weighed 55 lbs, plus the A mat, which costs a bit more, is what I use to sit it on when I need to adjust it by a few inches. It works well, but it adds to the cost. There are two fasteners on the tube that particularly catch my eye. A lot of reviews noted that the umbrella pole would still rotate with the wind due to one fastener. There is no chance in this case. As the base is so wide, the umbrella/base does not have a particularly even bottom, and it can rock slightly in the wind due to its width. The wedge could probably be wedged underneath things to solve the problem. Because it isn't that bad, I haven't gone through it yet. The rain and rusting of the item will take some time to see how it does. There will be an update This would be a purchase that I would definitely make.
