Parasol Stand VidaXL model 868524 — Black Powder-Coated Steel, Standard size

VidaXL parasol stand model 868524 is a standard-size base made of black powder-coated steel, designed to provide a stable and weather-resistant mounting point for garden and patio umbrellas. Its compact footprint and neutral finish make it suitable for terraces, balconies and outdoor seating areas where a reliable base is required for freestanding sunshades.

Advantages

The powder-coated steel construction improves resistance to corrosion and outdoor wear, while the standard-size socket accepts a wide range of parasol poles. The black finish offers a discreet, modern look that integrates easily with various outdoor decors. The design focuses on stable support and low-maintenance performance without unnecessary features.

Suitable for

• Patio and garden parasols with standard-diameter poles
• Balconies and small terraces where a compact base is needed
• Commercial outdoor seating areas requiring a practical umbrella mount

When it may not be suitable

This parasol stand is a standard-size, single-piece steel base intended to hold freestanding parasols. It may not be suitable for extremely large or heavy cantilever umbrellas that require a reinforced or weighted base system. It is also not intended as a permanent grounding or in-ground mounting solution.

Key specifications

• Material: Powder-coated steel
• Colour: Black
• Size category: Standard/regular parasol base
• Application: Outdoor use on flat, hard surfaces (terrace, balcony, patio)
• Maintenance: Low — wipe clean, check for surface corrosion periodically

How to use

Place the parasol stand on a stable, level surface and insert the umbrella pole into the socket. Ensure the pole sits vertically and, if provided, tighten any fixing screw or clamp to secure the pole. For additional stability on soft or windy conditions, place the base on a non-slip mat and position additional weights or sandbags around it if compatible with the design. Regularly inspect the powder coating and fastenings, and tighten as necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the diameter of the parasol pole to verify compatibility with a standard-size base
• Consider the size and weight of your parasol—larger umbrellas may need a heavier or weighted base
• Confirm the intended placement has a flat, hard surface for stable support

Usage recommendations

For safe use, always close the parasol during strong winds and storms. Keep the stand on level ground and perform periodic checks for surface damage or loose fixings. When not in use for extended periods, store the parasol and, if possible, the stand in a sheltered area to prolong the life of the powder coating.
