Umbrella Base EDA model 019636 V.LA, round plastic, 495 mm, two-color, fillable with water or sand, UV-resistant

The Umbrella Base EDA model 019636 V.LA is a round plastic parasol base with a 495 mm diameter. Made from UV-resistant plastic and finished in a two-color design, the base is intended to be filled with water or sand to provide the required ballast for garden, terrace or patio umbrellas. Supplied as a single-piece unit, it combines a simple shape with practical features for seasonal outdoor use.

Advantages

This umbrella base offers a balance between portability and stability: when empty it is easy to move and position, and when filled with water or sand it provides substantial weight to resist wind gusts. The UV-resistant material reduces the risk of fading and surface degradation from sun exposure. The rounded form and two-color finish make it compatible with a variety of outdoor decors while remaining low-maintenance and wipe-clean.

Suitable for

• Garden parasols with standard diameter poles
• Terrace and patio umbrellas for domestic outdoor areas
• Seasonal use where a refillable, lightweight base is needed for transport or storage

When it may not be suitable

This refillable plastic base may not provide sufficient ballast for very large parasols or in consistently windy, exposed locations where permanent heavy anchoring is required. It is not intended as a fixed or ground-embedded foundation and may shift under extreme weather conditions despite being filled.

Key specifications

• Shape: round
• Material: UV-resistant plastic
• Diameter: 495 mm
• Color: two-color finish
• Fillable: designed to be filled with water or sand
• Supply: single-piece

How to use

Place the base on a level surface where the parasol will stand. Insert the parasol pole into the central opening and secure it according to the pole and base fit (some poles may require an additional fixing screw or clamp). Fill the unit with water or dry sand through the fill opening to achieve the desired weight; do not overfill beyond the indicated capacity. After filling, close the fill cap securely to prevent leakage. To relocate, empty the base if necessary, then carry the single-piece unit to the new position.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the parasol pole diameter and compatibility with a refillable plastic base
• Assess local wind conditions and whether a refillable base offers sufficient ballast
• Decide between filling with water (easier to empty) or sand (higher weight per volume)
• Confirm available storage space when the base is filled versus empty

Usage recommendations

For routine use, fill the base partially to test stability, then increase fill level as needed. When anticipating strong winds or storms, remove and store the parasol and, if possible, empty and store the base to avoid damage or displacement.
