These interlocking resin plates fasten around a standard cantilever cross base, letting you choose water for lighter transportability or sand for maximum stability. UV-resistant construction and integrated handles simplify seasonal setup, teardown, and storage while maintaining a low-profile look on decks, patios, and pool areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much stability will this weight set provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the four plates is engineered to accept either water or sand. When filled with sand, the full set reaches about 160 lbs of ballast—enough for most residential offset umbrellas in typical windy conditions. Filling with water yields a lighter, transport-friendly option around 52 liters total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSand capacity: roughly 40 lbs per plate (approx. 160 lbs total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater capacity: 13 liters per plate (52 liters total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterlocking design ensures combined weight sits securely around cross base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these plates fit my cantilever umbrella base?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is made to clamp around most standard cantilever and offset cross bases, creating a stable footprint without modifying the umbrella. The plates align and lock together around the support frame, so compatibility depends mainly on standard cross-base dimensions rather than umbrella brand. Measure your base diameter against typical cross bases if you have a nonstandard design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for most standard offset\/cantilever cross bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlates lock together to encircle the base for unified ballast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot a replacement for a cross base—fits around existing support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow easy is setup, filling, and seasonal storage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup requires no tools: place the plates around the umbrella cross base and snap them together.
