Treasure Garden Standard AKZ Umbrella Base with Black Finish Frequently Asked Questions
What umbrella models is this base designed to work with?
This base is intended for use with Treasure Garden AKZ and AKZSQ series cantilever umbrellas, providing a secure foundation for these styles.
What are the size and fill capacity of the base?
The base measures approximately 32″ wide × 32″ deep × 7.5″ high. It is designed to hold up to 200 lbs of sand ballast (sand not included) to maintain stability.
What finish and materials does the base feature?
The model comes in a black powder-coat finish and uses a sand-fillable resin shell over a steel mount to provide durability and corrosion resistance in outdoor settings.
Can I use this base in free-standing setups?
Yes — with proper ballast (up to the 200 lb capacity) this base can support free-standing cantilever umbrellas. However, the umbrella must be closed during high winds and placed on level, solid surfaces to ensure safety and stability.
Does it work with older umbrella models or different bolt patterns?
If your umbrella is from a pre-2012 model or uses a different mounting hub, you should verify compatibility. Some older models may require a rotating hub adapter for proper installation.
What warranty and maintenance advice should I know?
The base is covered under a one-year residential warranty for defects in materials or workmanship. Regularly check that bolts are tight, clean the base with mild soap and water, and avoid leaving the umbrella open in storms. Rust on steel components is considered normal and not covered.
