Can I install this umbrella myself?
Sure, the umbrella comes fully assembled ready for installation. If you’re bolting the umbrella down to a concrete slab, you need to drill 4 holes and use masonry anchors (not supplied) to bolt it down. If you’re planning to install it into a grassed area, you need to dig a hole and pour a concrete footing. Once the concrete sets, you can bolt the umbrella to it.
If you order the optional wheeled resin base, you need to supply the gravel yourself (we recommend blue metal which can be purchased in 20kg bags for about $10 per bag, you need 120kgs of gravel). We have easy to follow instructions for how to attach the umbrella to this base.
Do I need any other bits and pieces to install it?
Yes. If you’re bolting down to a concrete slab, we recommend you purchase some anchor bolts from us when you purchase your umbrella.
If your installing on-ground, you need to purchase 6-8 Resinstone Ballast Blocks or pavers, 45-50cm square.
If you’re purchasing the wheeled resin base you need to purchase 120kgs of gravel or sand.
Can I leave this umbrella up all the time?
No, we don’t’ recommend it.
Although it is a strong umbrella and is tolerant to breezy conditions, it is always a good idea to fold it away when not in use, just in case a strong wind comes along and damages it.
What accessories do you recommend I purchase with this umbrella?
The umbrella does come with a polyester protection cover but it’s pretty light weight. If you really want to give your new umbrella the best possible protection we recommend you purchase a Large Cantilever Protection Cover. This will fit neatly on your new umbrella and give it the best possible protection.
A LED light is also a handy accessory to purchase. It simply clips onto a central drop-down arm.
I still have more questions can I give you a call?

Umbrella Care & Maintenance
Outdoor umbrellas are a staple in any garden, patio, or poolside area, offering both style and functionality by providing shade and protection from the elements. However, to ensure they continue to serve you well through the seasons, proper care and maintenance are crucial. Regular maintenance can prevent common issues like fading, mildew growth, and mechanical failure and extend the lifespan of your umbrella to ensure its safety and reliability.
