Umbrella base weight depends largely on the size of the umbrella, the outdoor environment, and the base itself. Here are some general guidelines for choosing an umbrella base of the right weight:

1. Size of the umbrella: The larger the umbrella, the heavier the base should be. For example, a 7.5 to 9-foot patio umbrella typically requires a 35 to 70-pound base. For larger market umbrellas (10 feet and up), the base should be heavier, usually in the 75 to 100-pound or heavier range.

2. Type of base:
Plastic or resin bases: These are usually empty and can be filled with sand or water. When filled, they can weigh more than 50 pounds.
Extra-heavy bases with wheels: These have their own weight and are equipped with wheels for easy mobility.

3. Environmental conditions: If you live in a windy area, it is recommended to choose a heavier base, perhaps exceeding the standard recommendation.

Most of Aoodor's umbrella bases are designed with four wheels, two of which have sturdy locking devices. Simply tilt the base slightly and roll it to the position you want. Once in place, lock the wheels to ensure stability.

Aoodor's heavy duty patio umbrella base with wheels and pull rod has a unique design that makes moving easier and more labor-saving.

Aoodor heavy-duty umbrella base can hold up to 123lbs of sand, which is about 2-3 bags of standard play sand. This ensures your umbrella has maximum stability even in windy conditions.
Our heavy-duty umbrella base can be filled with water instead of sand. Sand weighs a little more (up to 123lbs), while water weighs in at 88lbs. Both options ensure your umbrella has excellent stability.

To hide your umbrella base, consider placing it under a decorative planter or using outdoor furniture to conceal it. Our base’s sleek black design blends well with most outdoor decor, making it less noticeable.
