Treasure Garden Add-On Weight for 50 lb, 80 lb or 100 lb Umbrella Bases Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of this add-on weight?
This add-on weight is designed to screw into the underside of a compatible Treasure Garden umbrella base, adding an extra ~30 lb of cast-iron weight. It improves base stability—especially useful when moving from under-table to free-standing umbrella setups.
Which umbrella base models is it compatible with?
It fits Treasure Garden bases rated at 50 lb, 80 lb, or 100 lb capacity. According to specs it works with models such as BA50, BG50, BW50 (50 lb base) and can be used under select 80 lb or 100 lb bases.
How do I install the add-on weight?
Installation is simple: flip the umbrella base, align the threaded male end of the add-on weight with the female cavity in the base, and screw in clockwise until tight. Then place the base upright and mount your umbrella as usual.
What are the physical specifications of the add-on weight?
The add-on weight is approximately 12″ in diameter and 2″ high, with a weight of 30 lbs cast-iron construction.
When should I consider adding this extra weight?
If your umbrella is free-standing, exposed to gusty wind, or larger than typical table-umbrella size, increasing base weight improves stability and safety. It’s especially helpful if the base is being used without the protection of a table.
Are there any warranty or usage considerations?
Yes — the add-on weight is an accessory to the base and should be used according to the base manufacturer’s instructions. The manufacturer specifies a one-year warranty on bases and accessories (residential use). Also, always close umbrellas in high winds and inspect the base and added weight periodically.
