Customers Say
Compact, lightweight parasol base ideal for small, lightweight parasols. Easy to fill with water or sand but often leaks due to missing or poor plugs. Not suitable for large parasols or strong winds.

Perfect fit for my parasol
Perfect for my use. Compatible with my parasol, light and easily portable. Stable with light winds. wouldn't trust it in high winds. Very light weight and easy to move around the garden.

Plastic base for parasol
Filled it with water. Still blew parasol over. Also no cap to go on where you fill water. So all tipped over in mild wind may 26. Don’t waste money buy a sturdier one

Not what I needed!
I discovered late in the day that the old water-filled plastic parasol base I expected to use the next day was broken. All the ones I wanted to buy couldn't be delivered or collected for at least two days. This seemed the cheapest solution that I could collect immediately. I didn't check the specifications - clearly my fault! The diameter of the pole of our parasol was too big to go in it. I tried to cut out some parts of the holder but basically this parasol base is only suitable for small lightweight parasols.

Great buzz works well
Was a bit worried that it would be too small for my parasol when I saw the base. But, it's great! Fits the pole fine and study enough to keep the parasol in place. Good price and being small means easier to hide and so heavy

Absolute rubbish!!
Absolutely rubbish , no bung to stop water from leaking out. Not strong enough to hold a very small parasol Light wind and parasol spent most of the time on the ground. Do not buy !

Basic but perfectly suitable
Bought this to hold our Blue Parasol we bought at the same time. Fits well enough. Easy to carry and stable with water. I haven’t tried sand yet. Not heavy so will be easy to take on holiday with us. Does what it says. Basic but perfectly suitable for our needs. Versatile as can easily pop it in the car with us.

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.
