Treasure Garden 50 lb Art Deco Umbrella Base (Bronze Finish) Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Treasure Garden 50 lb Art Deco Umbrella Base and what makes it special?
This umbrella base is a decorative and heavy-duty support designed for market-style patio umbrellas. The Art Deco styling gives it a decorative flair, while its 50 lb weight and built-in dual-purpose stem offer serious stability for outdoor use.
What are its key specifications and compatibility?
The base features a cast-aluminum shell reinforced with a cast-iron core, weighs approximately 50 lbs, has a diameter of roughly 20.9″, and includes a dual-purpose stem that accommodates umbrella poles up to 1.5″ in diameter (with optional stems for 2″ poles).
Which umbrella pole sizes and applications does it support?
The standard stem is set for a 1.5″ pole, making it suitable for many market umbrellas. An optional 2″ stem is available to support larger poles for free-standing use. The dual-purpose stem allows both free-standing use and under-table installation.
Is it suitable for outdoor use and what finishing/materials should I know about?
Yes—it’s designed for outdoor use: the cast-aluminum exterior and cast-iron core offer strength and durability, and the powder-coat bronze finish helps with weather resistance. That said, like all outdoor metal pieces, keep drainage and proper placement in mind to avoid moisture build-up.
Can it be used literally under a table (e.g., dining table) as well as free-standing?
Yes. The dual-purpose stem allows for reduced height so you can position the umbrella base under a table, or extend the stem fully for free-standing umbrella applications.
What additional weight or accessories might I need for higher wind or larger umbrellas?
For added stability in free-standing or windy conditions, the manufacturer mentions an optional add-on 30 lb weight that can be paired with this 50 lb base to boost overall mass and support larger or more exposed umbrellas.
