Set of 4 Portable plastic umbrella base

One reviewer commented that he filled each base with sand and then with water. I followed suit. Make sure the sand is dry because wet sand does not slide into the base at all. Then after all the sand is filled, tap the base down to help the sand settle. Then refill the base again and repeat until you can see that the sand is at the fill nozzle. Then add water. You will see the sand settle some more. I didn't add any more sand because the base was heavy enough. Worked so great. Gives me peace of mind especially when the wind starts to blow. When that umbrella sways, you will want to have a little assurance that the umbrella won't topple. The base with sand and water is that assurance. It's also nice to see the base fits so well in the stand with U-clips to hold the 4 bases together.

Fast delivery, thanks

These are a pain to fill with sand and water, but totally worth it once it��s done! Make sure your sand is completely dry so it��s a quicker task. We filled them about 75% with sand and then topped off with water. These keep our umbrella sturdy and in place. I highly recommend this product!
