CLASSIC GARDEN SHOP® PARASOL BASE STAND WEIGHTS FOR BANANA HANGING AND CANTILEVER UMBRELLA PARASOLS - FANBASE- SET OF FOUR 66kgs when water/sand filled

They are heavy duty plastic containers that can be filled with sand.I dried some sand in the sun on a mixing board to make it easier, but it was not hard with the aid of a funnel. Once filled net weight was 19kg based on sharp sand (I could probably have got as little more in, I think sand is better than water as no leakage or freezing risk).On my parasol the height of the base was a slight issue but spacers are provided to raise the parasol above the cross pieces so the lever that allows the parasol to be rotated can be operated without fouling these weights. The only downside here is that I had to order longer cap bolts for the parasol (in my case 4 off M8x30mm), but this is an issue of non standardised bases on parasols. I was going to have a similar problem if I had used paving slabs, my parasol would only have worked with 35mm slabs which are a bit non standardThe weights have moulded in recess to aid carrying on the outer edge, so I can move the parasol around if required and store it for the winter, which is ideal. 19kg is what you might have in your suitcase for a holiday.Happy

The product was well worth the cost, lower than most and well made. Just ideal for the job and easy to fill. We filled them with water and were easily handled because of the built in hand grip: a sturdy feature that enabled easy movement when filled.The area they occupy is quite large but we found that this was an ideal platform for plants, solar lights or ornaments so it didn't just end up as a dead space.Highly recommended and delivered almost a week before the actual anticipated delivery date.

I filled mine with water to go around the edge of my parasol base, it seems quite sterdy but the parasol is quite heavy and haven’t had chance to put it up yet with the weather. The delivery was very good arriving the next day with standard delivery.

Good quaiity

These weights have successfully held up our 3m cantilevered parasol both when it was open on a breezy day and when it was folded, in very windy weather. No assembly is required beyond filling them with water, and they represent excellent value compared with the price of similar products in chain stores.

Fairly heavy and stable but doesn't fit well over my parasol base.

We've been using it for a month now and it seems pretty sturdy. I've fill it with water and it's enough for our big parasol.I would just notice that we didn't get free spacer washers which supposed to be included, but got fair refund to buy it ourselves.

Love these, I filled with sand which took a while but so worth it. We have had some strong winds and parasol hasnt moved. The 4 fan weights fit around the cross base and hold it firm I have a 3m cantilever parasol so requireds strength. Its perfect does the job and looks attractive too....and you can pick up and move with the little hand holes so your not digging to pick up, very very happy and I highly recommend this product
