Tangkula Umbrella Base 20-inch Fillable Stand — 75 lb Water & Sand Ballast, Fits 1.5–1.9" Poles

The Tangkula Fillable Umbrella Base is a 20-inch heavy-duty patio stand that fills with water or sand to provide up to 75 lbs of ballast for 1.5–1.9" umbrella poles.

Designed for outdoor living spaces, this refillable umbrella base combines a durable HDPE shell with a metal support pole and interchangeable inserts so you can secure most 9–10 ft market and offset umbrellas. It balances portability and stability: empty it to move (about 5.5 lbs) and fill it at the installation site with water, sand, or both for added weight. Decorative contours keep the look tidy while UV- and weather-resistant materials protect the unit from fading and cracking.

How much weight can I add and what filling options work best?

You can fill the reservoir with up to 4.8 gallons of water or use sand to increase ballast. Alone, water provides a quick installation and reasonable stability; sand adds more heft. Combining both gives the maximum rated ballast to handle windier conditions.

• Water capacity: 4.8 gallons (approximately up to 75 lbs when combined with sand)
• Sand capacity: up to 62 lbs; combined sand + water yields the heaviest ballast
• Empty weight: about 5.5 lbs for easy transport

Will this base fit my umbrella pole and how is the pole secured?

The base includes a metal supporting pole and two plastic inserts that accept common pole diameters of 1.5" and 1.9". Once you choose the appropriate insert, the umbrella is locked in place with a tightening knob to minimize wobble. The screw-tightened cap and ring help ensure the insert stays seated under load.

• Compatible with most 9–10 ft market and patio umbrellas
• Includes metal pole and two plastic adapters for 1.5" and 1.9" poles
• Adjustable knob and tightening ring for secure hold

How durable and weather-resistant is the Tangkula umbrella base?

Built from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the base resists sun exposure, moisture, and typical outdoor wear so it won't crack easily or lose its finish. The hardware is designed for outdoor use and supports long-term stability when installed correctly. Routine cleaning and seasonal storage when empty will extend lifespan.

• HDPE material resists UV fading and water damage
• Metal support components for reliable structural strength
• Decorative finish retains outdoor-friendly aesthetics

How easy is installation and moving the base when needed?

Assembly is straightforward: install the supporting pole, tighten the screw, fill with the chosen ballast, secure the ring cap, then insert and tighten your umbrella pole. The built-in handle and lightweight empty shell make it simple to move before filling. No special tools are required beyond the included fasteners and an adjustable spanner if you prefer firmer torque.

• Quick setup with included inserts and tightening knob
• Built-in handle for effortless transport when empty
• No heavy lifting required—fill on site for convenience

Who is this for? The Tangkula Fillable Umbrella Base is ideal for homeowners, rental property managers, cafes, and event planners who need a versatile, portable solution to anchor 9–10 ft patio or offset umbrellas. It suits people who want a balance of easy relocation and dependable ballast without a permanent installation. If you want a weather-resistant base that looks tidy on decks, terraces, poolside areas, or outdoor dining spaces, this stand provides a practical, user-friendly option.
