How to Secure Your Eclipse Umbrella with Ballast Weights

To ensure proper stability, this base must be weighted down using concrete ballast blocks (sold separately). The number of blocks required depends on factors like umbrella size, placement, and wind exposure.

✔ A minimum of four ballast blocks is recommended.
✔ In windy areas, additional weights may be necessary to enhance stability and safety.

This versatile cross bar base is perfect for those who prefer a non-permanent installation, offering a secure and adaptable outdoor shade solution for patios, backyards, and commercial spaces.

• Electroplated + Powdercoated steel.

• Continue to periodically spray with your chosen rust inhibitor.  A rust inhibitor will help prevent rust and also displaces moisture.
• Ensure the area your base is placed in has good drainage to avoid the base sitting in water.
• Keep clean from debris.
• Periodically remove weights to clean in and around the frame.

• A minimum of 4 concrete ballast blocks are required to weight down your umbrella.
• Our concrete ballast blocks weigh 25kg each
• If your outdoor area is breezy or experiences strong winds, you will require more than 100kg.  You can double up the blocks to add extra weight.  Always remember an umbrella needs to be weighted down correctly.  If you do not have enough weight on your ballast cross bar base, the wind can and will blow your umbrella over.
• The use of a rust inhibitor spray is a good idea when installing this base.  Spray the entire frame and inside the channel.
• Prior to installing, if in a high salt environment, we suggest to protect your outdoor flooring, place a barrier, cut to size between your outdoor flooring and the base eg/ fake grass, plastic sheeting.  This will be completely covered, but will help protect your ground from the ageing effects that a steel item can cause.
