Customers Say
Affordable parasol base suitable for small, lightweight umbrellas; portable and easy to fill with water or sand. However, many users report poor fit for larger poles, flimsy plastic, leaking issues, and instability in wind.

Buy cheap, buy twice!
I had a similar base which broke (but I'd had for 7 years). This base is cheap, flimsy, blows over with a slight gust of wind. Water leaks out. Can't screw into the ground like I could with the last one. So it's useless, you have to hold onto the umbrella when the wind blows. Would not recommend.

Could be improved
I had to return this as the loose parasol holder tube was missing, as per some other reviews. Not surprising as the item was supplied in a loose polythene bag with only one small piece of sellotape centrally placed. The base is fine for portable beach use, light and cheap, however the hole for water is half way up with no stopper so would hold very little water ( a wine cork fitted the hole). Some improvements needed!

Useless
States it for most parosols. Ok for small ones, but useless for 3.5cm size pole.

Cheap
It broke the first second. Cheap plastic. Territory

Perfect for the job
Happy with this product as only one umbrella would work with my garden table and this support works for that umbrella.

Good for the right size parasol
Unfortunately it’s not suitable for our parasol, the hole isn’t big enough to support our umberella, otherwise I think it would have been ok

Very good and cheap!
Very good! Took me ages to funnel sabd, then water inside small hole - but was worth the effort! Holds my small parasol brilliantly! A very cost-effective, elegant solution.

Hello Helen,
No, the Strata Plastic Parasol Base will not work effectively with an 18 mm pole on its own, as the opening is too wide to hold it straight.

Hi Will,
The stopper on the Strata Plastic Parasol Base is designed to seal the opening after you've filled the base with water or sand. Here are the steps to use it:
Filling the Base: Locate the opening on the base where you can add water or sand. This is usually a larger hole meant for filling.
Using the Stopper: Once the base is filled, the stopper should be inserted into this opening to prevent the contents from spilling out. The stopper might seem like it doesn't fit initially, but it should be pushed firmly into place.
Thank you for using Q&A
