Gravipod Umbrella Base Weight | Outdoor Sand-Fillable Stabilizer for Cantilever, Offset, and Patio Umbrellas | Heavy-Duty Weather-Resistant Fabric

We are a rental company and are glad that we finaly have a solution for the umbrella bases beiing one of our logistical chalences. Our empoyees now do not have to carry the heavy "one piece" bases anymore. We now use a base plate of 10 kg plus the weigt bag. Also our clients like it including the look.

What a waste of time! Bad advert to sell it. Have to buy a bag of sand, I don't think so

Holds umbrella very well. I’m very happy with this product.

Adds sufficent weight to the umbrella so it doesn't move in the wind. Easy to fill and even though the sand does get on the velcro, it is simple to use a little brush to get it off to close. Great customer service and a decent price for the product.

This is my third Gravipod order. I live in the desert, and the monsoons can be very destructive to patio umbrellas. Although my umbrella bases should be able to withstand the winds, they don’t. I ordered these bases as extra support, and they work extremely well. They have not faded from the sun, which is an added bonus. I highly recommend these for ease of use, cost, durability, and overall aesthetics.

I used this to anchor a 9ft traditional market umbrella on an elevated terrace not far from the water. We've experienced increasing and stronger winds and wind gusts, even on sunny days, resulting in the umbrella and its 60lb base tipping repeatedly, damaging the umbrella and surrounding plants, etc. We move this umbrella depending on the angle of the sun and do not want to secure it to the decking. Initially, I used a large bag of garden soil to weigh it down, but that was cumbersome and created a trip hazard. The Gravipod base is a much better, more elegant solution and added just enough weight, 50lbs, to stabilize the umbrella. We put the umbrella down at night and during storms, but can now leave it up on breezy, sunny days without worrying about it tipping over. Two of us working together found the Gravidpod easy to fill with sand and easy to slide over the umbrella pole. I can't say enough good about this thing, wish we'd found it sooner! Time will tell if it is as sturdy as promised, but judging by its construction and the quality of the velcro closure, etc, I'm not worried. Excellent. Buy it.

I only saw this base mentioned in the comments on other bases from this company but obviously it’s the best option because it holds full bags of sand - no pouring or mess! I filled it with $2 bags of play sand from Home Depot. I went with a sand base as this was about $27 while water bases seem to start at $60. I also saw reviews that made it seem like water bases are hard to fill. They’re also 4 pieces that don’t have handles so harder to move around a patio (that flexibility is one of the reasons I wanted a cantilever/standalone umbrella in the first place) and this base has nice handles to move them around. It was definitely a squish to fit the full bags of sand inside. If the cases were a drop bigger it would be perfect, but I got them in and they look sturdy and of high quality canvas. Very happy with it and it held up well in a light wind today. The base didn’t move at all, which made the umbrella feel secure. FYI I went with this umbrella which seemed to be the cheapest on Amazon from those that had several thousand 4-5 star reviews Best Choice Products 10ft Offset Hanging Market Patio Umbrella w/Easy Tilt Adjustment, Polyester Shade, 8 Ribs for Backyard, Poolside, Lawn and Garden https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0863D7W3Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_cL5JfMjYEZHWm
