Treasure Garden AKZ13 Umbrella Base with Bronze Finish Frequently Asked Questions
What umbrella models is the AKZ13 base compatible with?
The AKZ13 base is designed specifically for Treasure Garden’s large cantilever umbrellas—such as the AKZP13, AKZP13LX, AKZP series, AG25T and other 13-foot class models. It supports the heavy loads and offers the footprint needed for these large umbrellas.
What are the size, weight and fill capacity specifications?
The base frame measures approximately 34″ W × 34″ D × 7.5″ H. The base alone weighs about 75 lb (for the stationary steel version) and is designed to accept heavy ballast—up to roughly 400 lb of sand depending on configuration.
What materials and finish does it have?
The AKZ13 base is built on a heavy-duty steel frame with a powder-coated bronze finish (also available in anthracite, black, and sand). It uses add-on weight containers or full sand fill depending on model for maximum stability.
How do I install and use this base safely?
Place the base on a level, solid surface. Fill the base or weight containers with sand up to the indicated fill line (approximately 400 lb capacity), attach the umbrella’s lower hub to the base with the included hardware, and ensure all bolts are tight. Always close the umbrella during high winds. For rolling versions, engage the foot pedal to lock the wheels securely.
Should I choose this base instead of a standard 50 lb base?
Yes—this base is specifically designed for large 13-foot cantilever umbrellas, providing the necessary ballast and footprint for stability. Smaller 50 lb bases are intended for table or smaller market umbrellas and will not safely support AKZ13-class umbrellas.
What warranty or longevity considerations apply?
Treasure Garden offers a one-year manufacturer’s warranty on bases and accessories for residential use. Regularly inspect bolts, the finish, and ballast condition to ensure long-term performance. Note that weather damage from storms or improper use is typically not covered.
