Dear Family Mom and Dad,
You're not the only one who's fed up with unstable and unreliable patio umbrella bases. Many, many others share your frustration.
You know what I mean, because you've likely experienced the frustration of trying, and failing, to tighten a loose tube for the second or even third time.
You've given up on trying to tighten the bolt on the tube, as it's become immovably stuck due to rust.
You gaze helplessly at your patio umbrella, which is swaying back and forth like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
And feeling a little worried whether the patio umbrella might take another flight to the neighbor's garden.
Or are you tired of breaking your back every time you have to move your patio umbrella?
And don't get me started on the fact that if you have children or grandchildren running around with their bare toes and accidentally run into the hard granite... Ouch!
If any of this sounds familiar, I have good news for you. The Baser patio umbrella base is a solution for you and the over 20,312 others who have found relief with it.
Grandpa Arne, just like you, has tried out 10 different patio umbrella bases, but they either rusted, snapped in two, or put too much strain on his back.
After that he said stop
He wanted to make a patio umbrella base like this:
1. was easy to move and easy to assemble
2. fitted the patio umbrella perfectly, without the tube
3. was stable even during autumn storms
A patio umbrella base that actually worked
That's why Grandpa Arne created his own. It's sturdy, soft on your toes, and easy to move. Plus, it has a sleek Danish design that lasts season after season.
Say hello to Grandpa's patio umbrella base.
Well, for what a Baser costs, I can get 7 plastic patio umbrella bases or almost 2 granite stones!
At Baser, honesty is always our top priority - To answer your question, yes, a Baser is more expensive than the standard water-filled plastic patio umbrella base and the regular granite stones.
And yes, you can buy 7 small plastic patio umbrella bases you fill with water yourself for the same price.
And yes, we are more expensive than the granite stone from China, but we don't shy away from that fact.
So comparing Baser to the other options is a bit like comparing apples to oranges.
So if you can magically get your 3-metre patio umbrella to stand stable in the white plastic patio umbrella base or the little 20kg granite stone from China then give me a call and I'll see!
And if you believe it's worth it to save £18 by buying a 50kg granite stone with a tube, even though it means having to lift the entire 50kg weight every time you need to move the patio umbrella just a couple of meters, then that's your call.
But Christian, granite patio umbrella bases have wheels!
Yep, correct. Just be sure to check if your patio is as flat as a pancake, otherwise those tiny wheels may have trouble rolling. And don't be surprised if, after a while, the weight of the granite stone takes its toll on the wheels and crushes them like grapes.
If you choose the one with wheels, remember to fold the patio umbrella when you are going to move it. You'll need to tilt the patio umbrella at a 45-degree angle so the wheels can touch the ground, and then you can "comfortably" drag the base along. What a workout!
Sure, a Baser patio umbrella base may cost a bit more, but trust me, you won't regret it. You'll be thrilled with your purchase, I guarantee it.
And don't worry, I've got your back. I mean it, I'm here to help.
Imagine, lugging around a 50kg base every time you want to move your patio umbrella. That's like trying to carry a small elephant! No thank you. With a Baser base, you'll feel like a superhero, effortlessly moving your patio umbrella with ease. So, go ahead and treat yourself, your back will thank you.
And let's not forget about our amazing guarantee - if you're not completely satisfied with your Baser patio umbrella base, we'll buy it back from you.
Yes, we will buy your Baser patio umbrella base back, and yes, return shipping I will also pay if you don't think the Baser patio umbrella base is stable and meets your expectations.
You can check out all the details in the warranty below. If you run into any issues, just drop an email to [email protected], and we'll take care of it for you.
But I have a feeling you won't be needing to take advantage of the guarantee. The Baser patio umbrella base is top-notch and sure to exceed your expectations. Just like these happy customers:
Forget about flying unstable patio umbrellas that you have to chase around the garden. You can lean back and enjoy the shade with Baser's patio umbrella base.
Yes, we've all experienced it.
Sitting with one foot on the granite block and holding onto the patio umbrella with one hand.
Stability is the most important parameter when choosing a patio umbrella base.
This is the first thing that comes up during negative reviews of traditional patio umbrella bases.
Stability is a crucial aspect, and it's hitting the bullseye.
After all, stability that is easy to move around.... that's pretty essential when the sun moves or you want shade at the other end of the garden😉
Just to mention, the Baser patio umbrella base is quite simply super child-friendly.
The sandbags are plush, making them great for dancing and jumping on. Kids especially love washing them with the garden hose, which they find to be a hilarious activity.😄
It doesn't look like a patio umbrella base!
Different.... Yes, a Baser patio umbrella base is not an ordinary patio umbrella base....
Because if it did, it would have all the problems that the typical patio umbrella bases have in common.
According to customer reviews, the Baser patio umbrella base is significantly smarter and easier to use compared to others.
In any case, the Baser patio umbrella base has received 4.8 out of 5 stars for its ability to securely hold the patio umbrella, indicating that it is highly rated.
But what is the patio umbrella base made of?
Then Grandpa came and said: It must be made of plastic.
And I thought... what?
Because I've sat in the white plastic chair and the legs broke.
But... like so many times before, Grandpa was often two steps ahead of me.
He suggested using the same type of plastic that many cars and car engine parts are made of.
Namely PA6.30 or commonly known as glass-fibre reinforced nylon.
Little did I know that glass-reinforced nylon is one of the most widely used thermoplastic types in the world.
The use of glass-reinforced nylon in the Baser patio umbrella base makes it tough and durable, yet still flexible and usable, which is ideal for outdoor use in both sunny and rainy conditions.
Overall, glass-reinforced nylon is the perfect material for making a patio umbrella base, offering a combination of strength and flexibility that metal or granite cannot match.
And it's viable or in other words - sustainable!
So by now you're probably thinking - how can plastic be sustainable?
Yep.
We use Ravamid® ECO polyamide, which is a residual material from industrial waste and old fishing nets, and all this is converted into new patio umbrella bases at our production in Denmark using wind and solar energy.
So yes - I think it's fair to say it's good for you and good for the planet.
One day, when you have a Baser patio umbrella base in your garden, you'll be making a positive impact by recycling about 2 kilograms of plastic waste and old fishing nets.
What is the Sandbags Made of?
Not only is the frame produced in Denmark using wind energy, but the sandbags are made from sturdy, high-density 240 g/m2 solution-dyed polyester, derived from GRS Certified 100% recycled plastic bottles.
So for each sandbag you recycle on average of 102.3 grams of plastic which is equivalent to 5.1 bottles.
The sandbags are sewn with robust, industrial-strength thread, ensuring lasting resilience.
Additionally, we use a 100% PFAS-free water-repellent to avoid unnecessary toxins, making them not only reliable and durable but also an environmentally conscious choice for secure and steady shade.
No, it's not greenwashing. That's because Baser consists of a small family with children who will live on the Earth after us, and therefore we want to leave the world a little better place than when we arrived.
For us, being environmentally responsible, ethical, and profitable all go hand in hand.
One small step at a time with each patio umbrella base and sandbags.
Just throw away the instructions.... Grandpa made sure even grandma could assemble a Baser patio umbrella base.
If you had met Grandpa and Grandma, you'll quickly understand why our product is so easy to assemble.
Because grandma can put Lego together the wrong way.
She's a world champion at putting things together incorrectly or finding a way to cause a problem even when following instructions.
That's why Grandpa made a patio umbrella base that assembles in 5 easy steps, so simple even Grandma can do it without feeling like Bambi on slippery ice.
And best of all, say goodbye to those screws or bolts that need constant tightening throughout the summer.
And to crooked patio umbrellas swaying in the wind that are neither aesthetically pleasing nor secure.
Simply fill the sandbags, fit the pieces together, attach your patio umbrella and press the ring down firmly.
Then your patio umbrella will stand straighter than ever.
OK, I'm in! Granite with loose tubes is not the smartest choice, and sandbags are pretty cool and good-looking.
Let's briefly sum up what makes a Baser patio umbrella base unique?
Well, in general, it does what a patio umbrella base should do, so you can have a super cosy summer lunch or barbecue.
The Baser patio umbrella base is designed to accommodate all patio umbrella pole diameters, making it easy to move and incredibly stable.
And at the same time, we make it as sustainable as possible.
If you recognize any of these patio umbrella bases below, with all their amazing complexities.
Or maybe you already have one in your garden, but it's rusty, the tube is loose or you can't move the 50kg at once.
Then you'll probably want to watch my video below, where I show you which Baser patio umbrella base is best for your patio or balcony.
And avoid throwing good money at stone with a tupe in it.
How Heavy Should the Patio umbrella Base be?
The Right Stability in Windy Conditions
The Right Weight is Key
We understand that choosing the right base for your patio umbrella isn't always an easy task, especially the weight can be tricky to hit on the spot.
However, as a rule of thumb: For your smaller patio umbrellas, up to 2.5 meters, a 30 kg base is just right. For those grander shades, up to 3 meters or 2.5x2.5 meters, we recommend opting for a 40-50 kg base, perfect for a tranquil, stable setup. And if you're in a breezier spot, go for a solid 50 kg base to keep your patio umbrella serenely in place. In less windy areas, a 30 kg base is your go-to for patio umbrellas ranging from 2.5 to 2.8 meters.
Just as vital as the weight is the design of the base. It needs to securely clasp your patio umbrella; issues like loose tubes and corroded screws often lead to a loss of stability. That's precisely where Baser's Patented patio umbrella base shines, providing a steadfast and long-lasting grip for your peace of mind.
Heavy duty or Original?
Stop it from falling over
Secure and Stable
Remember? Grandpa invented a patio umbrella base. He was inspired to create it after growing tired of his patio umbrella constantly toppling over in the breeze. Interestingly, it wasn't just about the base's weight. A key aspect of keeping a patio umbrella steady is ensuring it's properly fastened. Tightening the tube and screws, or securing the locking ring, can often do the trick.
Living in a breezy area? A heavier patio umbrella base might be in order. A handy tip is to place an extra Baser sandbag on the opposite side if you're tilting your patio umbrella, adding that essential support.
At Baser, we offer two models of patio umbrella bases with sandbags: the Original and the Heavy Duty. While our Original model provides dependable stability, the Heavy Duty, with its larger frame, offers enhanced support, perfect for those windier spots. If you find yourself in a gusty area, the Heavy Duty base is your ideal companion for added peace of mind.
What Makes a Good Patio umbrella Base?
The Best Patio umbrella Base
Weather-resistant & a Firm Grip
Wondering what makes the best patio umbrella base? At Baser, we believe it's all about striking the perfect harmony between weight, stability, and how well it matches your patio umbrella. The ideal base should be crafted from robust materials that resist wear and tear, featuring a secure mechanism to ensure your patio umbrella stays firmly in place.
We understand that many patio umbrella bases spend a lot of time outdoors, so we recommend steering clear of materials like iron that can rust easily, potentially damaging both the base and your terrace surface.
To keep your patio umbrella steadfast, most bases rely on a tube and screw system. It’s important to regularly tighten these, as they can loosen over time due to the patio umbrella's movements. That's precisely why at Baser, we’ve developed our patented locking system, designed to keep your patio umbrella secure with minimal fuss. It's our way of ensuring your sunny days remain carefree and shaded, just the way you like them.
Does it work with a Cantilever?
The Best Base for a Cantilever?
Stable and Easy to use
If you consider using a Baser patio umbrella base for your cantilever because it's unstable in the wind, then it's important to note that Baser patio umbrella bases are specifically designed for centerpole patio umbrellas and are not suitable for cantilever models. However, for finding the best base for a cantilever patio umbrella, we recommend exploring Baser's range of weight bags specifically crafted for cantilevers.
These bags provide the necessary stability and support, ensuring your cantilever patio umbrella remains secure and upright, even in breezy conditions. They're an ideal choice for maintaining balance and stability for your cantilever patio umbrella.
Patio umbrella base
Keep your Patio umbrella stable in the wind
Find the best patio umbrella base for you
Your patio umbrella should be easy to move, set up, and take down so you can have shade wherever and whenever you want it, right? To keep your shade stable, you need a good base, and if you live in a windy area, you need a heavy base to keep your canopy from flying away or spinning like a bike wheel.
The Baser patio umbrella base (with sandbags) comes in three versions to fit any garden, terrace, or balcony:
1) Heavy-duty fits large patio umbrellas and is perfect for large gardens. It is available in a weight of 50 kg, 90 kg and 100 kg.
2) Original is a great choice for small to medium gardens. It works well for patio umbrellas up to 3.3 meters, whether used with a table or not.
3) The Spacesaver model our balcony patio umbrella base and is easy to place on small balconies or close to tables, chairs, walls, or railings. You can use it on patio umbrellas between 2.1 and 2.8 metres.
What to look for when buying a base:
When it comes to picking the best patio umbrella base, consider the following:
Stability – Your base must keep your patio umbrella secure. We recommend a 50-kg base for a 3- to 3.3-metre patio umbrella and a 30-kg base for a 2.8-metre patio umbrella. If you need additional weight, our sandbags work great for extra stability.
Portability – You may need a heavy base, but how will you move it? You can get a base with wheels, but that only works if you have even surfaces from one spot to the next. You can also get a patio umbrella base with sandbags, which will make it so easy to move that even your kids can do it.
Material – If you want your shade to last for years, you need to carefully consider what it’s made of. A rust-free patio umbrella base, or at least one that offers rust-free, low-maintenance surfaces, will serve you best.
Pole diameter – Your patio umbrella has to fit snugly into the base so that it stands tall and still even on gusty days. Most patio umbrellas have diameters of anywhere from 20 to 56 millimetres.
The Baser Advantage:
Compared to traditional granite patio umbrella bases, Baser's sandbag-based solutions offer greater ease of movement, aesthetic value, and adaptability. The Spacesaver model is an excellent choice for balconies and small spaces, fitting snugly along rails or in corners without occupying excessive room.
Heavy-duty bases for large patio umbrellas
The Baser Original has a patented locking system to keep your patio umbrella exactly where you put it. The durable outdoor sandbags weigh down the base for maximum stability, even without a table. By separating the base and weight, you get more portability in less space than from a base with wheels.
Say goodbye to rusty, unstable base tubes!
Rust and loose screws can turn your canopy into the Leaning Tower of Pisa, so we developed and patented a system that uses no tubes or screws. The moulded fibreglass and strong outdoor fabric create a rust-free, maintenance-free, long-lasting product.
How heavy should my patio umbrella base be?
Getting the weight of your patio umbrella base right is crucial for stability. If your patio umbrella has a tilt function, then you need more weight than you may think to keep your canopy from becoming a sail.
To find the right weight for your base, you need to know the size of your patio umbrella. We recommend a 50-kg base for a 3.3-metre patio umbrella, 40 kg for 3 metres, and 30 for 2.8.
Is there a universal patio umbrella base?
Patio umbrella sizes vary from 1.2 to 4 metres, so bases also vary, from 10 to 200 kg. The closest you can get to a universal patio umbrella base is one that fits poles between 28-58 mm, such as the Baser base.
The best patio umbrella base for a balcony
Baser’s half patio umbrella base is a flexible base that offers great stability and fits into small spaces, so you can place it along rails, close to walls, or in corners.
Where can you buy a patio umbrella base right now?
You can go to your local big-box store to find a patio umbrella base near you. Otherwise, most online stores offer delivery within 2 days directly to your doorstep or a pickup point. At Baser, we offer 1-3 days' delivery so you can buy a patio umbrella that will look good and last for years.
