For a 2-2.5m parasol, a base of at least 15kg is recommended. For 3m parasols, aim for 20-25kg or more. Cantilever parasols, which have an offset arm rather than a centre pole, typically need a heavier base of 25kg or above due to the extra leverage involved.
Most of our parasol bases are designed to fit poles between 38mm and 57mm in diameter. Adapters and a locking bolt are usually included to cover the range. The exact compatibility is listed on each product page, so check this before buying if you already have a parasol.

Some do, but cantilever parasols often come with their own dedicated base as part of the product. If you are buying a cantilever parasol separately and need a compatible base, check the product listing carefully or contact us, and we can point you in the right direction.
Yes, all the bases in our range are designed for outdoor use. Resin and polyresin models will not rust, and steel bases have a powder-coated finish for weather resistance. For best results and to extend their lifespan, store bases under cover or in a shed during winter.
