PURPLE LEAF Offset Patio Umbrella Base in Ground, 24.41"(H) X 11.42"(W)

This sturdy umbrella base is truly a game-changer. Not only does it make your umbrella more stable, but it also adds a touch of elegance to your outdoor space. While it may be slightly overpriced, the quality and durability it provides make it well worth the investment. Don't settle for a flimsy base that won't hold up in the wind - upgrade to this top-of-the-line option today!I will also suggest the company reconsider giving a discount if purchased with the Umbrella as a combo offer.

This thing is a BEAST! Clearly the absolute best way to go for a strong, permanent, in-ground base. I don't know how strong it is - but clearly anything bolted to this base is going to give long before anything ever happens to the base!I have a wire here for an odd lighting thing I'm trying to do so ignore that in the pictures. You may or may want to use the round cover - one could argue it's slimmer and cleaner without installing it - but totally optional.I had a few questions on this and the company's customer service is VERY responsive and quite easy to work with. I actually installed two of these with two umbrellas and am VERY happy.Nice thing also is that this base will work with a large range of umbrellas. Also remember: If in 20 years for whatever reason, you need to replace the umbrella and the company is completely gone - you're still MUCH better off having a base like this poured into your deck - even if you have to have a local metal shop make you simple mount for some other type of umbrella. This is INFINITELY better than having some giant weighted box on your deck which takes a TON of space, and is either so heavy you can't move it, or too light to adequately hold the umbrella - or as in a lot of cases I read - both!

The picture of the product shows multiple holes in the base. The product received has 4 holes. So when you place in the ground make sure you have it the way you want it because there is zero adjustability once it’s set. Other than that it appears to be a solid product that does not take up a lot of spaceI’m adding a revision as I have now installed it. Although the base only has 4 holes, if you purchase an umbrella that rotates via crank handle, it makes no difference how it’s installed.I ended up using 7-50 lb bags of cement. Your experience may be different if you dig a larger hole. I dug a round hole approximately 24” deep and 20” in diameter. I installed it in my lawn just outside of my patio. Works perfectly.One thing worthy of mention, when putting in the concrete, make sure you tape up the holes in the base so that cement doesn’t clog them up. Also a little bit of anti seize on the threads is a good idea

This review is for the in-ground umbrella base. This was used in AZ and buried in caliche soil. We were having excessive heat warnings when I dug the hole and it took me a day and one half!! Guaranteed that it will hold any umbrella. If you're not familiar with caliche soil it is like concrete!. I'm confident that even in regular soil that this base will easily handle the 10 ft. umbrella. Easy to assemble/mount the umbrella. SOLID!

I agree with Bradley Goodman’s review “This thing is a BEAST!” While looking at different brands of patio umbrellas, I noticed the great reviews for the Purple Leaf products. I also liked the look of Purple Leaf umbrellas but had witnessed umbrellas sailing through neighborhoods after being snatched from their bases. While browsing I noticed this mounting system popped up as a suggested item whenever I looked at patio furniture. After reading several reviews written earlier this summer, I figured this would be a good investment to prevent southern thunderstorms from destroying my investment.After receiving the anchor, I was impressed with the heavy gauge of the metal. Living in central Alabama where the primary soil is Blackland prairie (which is a mix of clay and soft limestone), I assumed that when buried the soil, combined with the weight and width of the base of the anchor would support the 12’ cantilever umbrella I ordered. To be safe, I also purchased two bags of quikrete.Be prepared to dig and I mean dig. After digging a hole roughly 20” deep and 18” across, I placed the anchor in the ground and leveled before adding the two bags of quikrete. So far, the umbrella has survived several southern thunderstorms with no damage and haven’t moved any. I’m still able to maneuver the umbrella through its full 360 degrees of rotation with no movement at the base. This is the best way to go if you were to ask me. No need for a heavy base taking up space on the patio, that still may not offer the support you need in an unexpected storm.FYI, the heads of the mounting hardware are socket head cap screws, which are almost impossible to strip, if you’re mechanically inclined. They used because of their high tensile strength. Personally, I had no problem with the provided fasteners, or the Chinese steel mentioned in one of the other reviews.

This is really perfect for my umbrella. I set it in two 80lb bags of quikcrete. I don't think it could be more sturdy.My only real complaint is the price. I don't know that it is worth $120 but there aren't really options either.

This thing is massive! Took a huge hole and EIGHT 80# bags of concrete to get this thing mounted. I tell you one thing, it is not going anywhere. The future owners of this house 20 years from now will be cursing me for burying this thing if they try to ever dig it up. Very, very solid. Way more than you'd ever need for a cantilever umbrella, but that is a good thing.

This is a great option for someone who doesn't want or had space for a base. The only reason I didn't want an umbrella is because if the ugky, oversize, unsturdy base. With this it looks like my umbrella is part of the patio! There are very little instructions but I filled mine about 3/4 with cement then the rest with dirt. I read you don't have to but I live in Ohio and the weather can change at any moment. That base is not going anywhere! I bought a 11' square purple leaf umbrella and it was easy to assemble.
