All parasols are delivered with a cross base, except for two models: the Ø2.75m centre-pole parasol and the 3x2m centre-pole parasol. Therefore, you will need to purchase a cross base if you wish to weight your parasol with slabs. Weighting is not included with our parasols, but it is essential for their stability. We offer several solutions to suit your needs:
Fillable weighted slabs: Our slabs (50x50cm) are designed to be filled with water or sand. Note that sand offers more weight per equivalent volume compared to water. For example, for a centre-pole parasol, we recommend a total weight of 80kg (4 slabs of 20kg minimum). For a cantilever parasol, plan for 100kg of weight (4 slabs of 25kg minimum) or 120kg for a 3x4m model using sand. Note that wet sand cannot be removed from the slabs. Make sure the weighting occupies an area of 1m² on the ground.
Wheeled bases: If you need a mobile solution, our wheeled bases for centre-pole and cantilever parasols are ideal. Weighted with water and/or sand, they provide optimal stability while allowing you to easily move your parasol.
For safe and long-lasting use, always follow our weighting recommendations, depending on the model and the layout of your space. Our recommendations are indicated on the technical sheets for our parasols. Feel free to contact us for personalised advice.
