If you are looking for a heavy-duty model for under a table, the CHRISTOW Garden Parasol Base is a great choice. Firstly is made from concrete with a steel frame and then an iron centre pole so it’s very well built, perhaps not quite heavy enough to be used standalone with an umbrella but for under a table, it’s perfect.

The Voyage of the Scotia. Edinburgh: Mercat Press. pp.34–57. ISBN 1-84183-044-5. When you fill the weights with water, each base weighs 15kgs so it gives you a weight of 60kg, more than enough for most 3-meter cantilever parasols. However, with sand, each base weighs 20kgs giving you a total of 80kg so if you have a more substantial parasol, I would consider using sand to give you that extra stability, especially in breezy postions. So in terms of weight, at 11kg it’s perfect for under a table but perhaps not quite heavy enough for use without a table to offer some support. However, they do have a larger 25kg version which would be more suitable for this.

The diameter of the base is important because the wider the base, the more stable it will be. Those with large parasols should look for heavier and wider bases so that the parasol remains sturdy in strong winds. People with small parasols will do well with bases of smaller diameters, but the base has to be heavy. If you have your parasol in the centre of a table you often don’t need one that quite as big or heavy.
