Customers Say
This parasol base is lightweight, easy to fill, and good value for money, but many users find it too small, unstable, and prone to leaking, especially for larger parasols.

Seems ok
Bought recently to accommodate a bird feeder. It's black, it's plastic and fills with water. Seems fine but no doubt strong winds, or an exceptionally heavy bird will tell if it's stable enough.

Diameter to small for parosol tube

Umbrella Base
poorly fitting drain blocking plug; leaks if not level and more than partly filled with water

Do not buy
Do not buy. Has no plug as others have mentioned. I returned for a refund. To be fair the return was easy but I wonder why this is even being sold?

Rubbish
Not worth the money as leaked everywhere. Have had to mend with glue just to keep some water in. Now not really heavy enough to be stable.

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
This parasol base is suitable for a 1kg parasol, reliably sustaining a light breeze only, but we do not need nor want a parasol when the sun is not burning down on top of us without relief from a breeze, so all is very good for purpose and weak, sick and elderly people cannot manage heavy objects as well as strong sun , so it is worth its weight in gold, especially as one can fill it with water in situ. I hope this is of help, as I remember being so confused during initial selection, myself.
Hi Ali,
The Strata Plastic Parasol Base - Black, supports a pole up to 3.2cm diameter.
Thanks for using Q & A
Although it is adjustable so may fit theses measurements, i wouldn’t recommend getting it for anything free standing. It constantly falls over when windy, even when filled to the brim with water.
The description says - for use with parasol poles up to 3.2cm diameter.

Hello Savvy shopper,
For the Strata Plastic Parasol Base - Black.
This will NOT work with the Argos Home 3m Overhanging Garden Parasol - Grey 401/2434. The correct base for the 401/2434 would be Argos Home Plastic Quarter Parasol Base - Black 305/8798. You would need to purchase 4 of these.
