Does the base fill with water? How does it not tip over?

my daughter filled the base with water They use a lighter ball than a regular basketball. The weight is in the back. They love it.. You can also fill the base with sand if you prefer

yes Greg,you can fill it with water or sand.It does tip over if you hang on it...the base does say on it 'do not hang'

Yes the base fills with water and it does not tip over. i gave it to my grandson over a year and a half ago and its still great. He uses the ball that came with it and it is okay.

Fills with water. Mine rusted within weeks though. Have to repaint every 6 months.

It doesn't tip over too easily, though it could when it's not mounted. Yes it stands up when it is empty and the lid is open. I don't have it mounted and it works well. You just have to note that it can tip over that way and take a little extra care.

HI - Mine has never tipped over. The base is solid and holds it in place. My elderly friend loves this, and can move it around to do her jewelry making again.I highly recommend it.

It gets totally wet. The bottom is mesh. It doesn't tip or collapse though! I have a 65 pound boxer and we can't keep him off of it!

I bought this with my cantilever umbrella and it works. The post on the metal umbrella stand goes through the hole on this water base. Bottom of this water base is indented so it snugs over the bottom cross bars of the umbrella stand. Once filled with water this holds the umbrella very well. I've tried it several ways and it does not seem to matter if you put the umbrella towards or away from the largest section of water base. Once, umbrella was open and a high wind did tip the whole thing over, but the wind was very strong and I should have lowered the umbrella in that wind. Hope this helps.

Yes. It is well-balanced, won't tip over, nor does the base get overheated. Nice little heater.

No, it does not. Very sturdy with 1, 2, or 3 coasters in it. I usually have 2 coasters in it at all times and has never tipped over.

Hi Nancy, it is smooth and flat your bottles will not tip over. I loved this so much I purchased two more.

It doesn't tip over at all. There's a clear plastic base that supports it. You probably can't see it very well in this pic.

No it doesn't. You have to tip it over to empty the water out. I used it at first for a ball pit but than I filled it with water and I just didn't fill it too much since its not that big.

It doesn't have the most sturdy bottom, but it works great for my kids, no water doesn't come in. It floats well above the water.

No, it does not, but we have a long small diameter hose stored in it. If it was a large heavy hose, then I can't answer that one for you, but I would think it would be OK and not tip over.

The base is heavy enough that it won't tip easily but I don't think water would be good for it.

The design prevents it from tipping. Mine is full and I've never had an issue. Would be difficult to tip it over, actually.

No, it does not seem top heavy at all - I've never seen it actually tip over during use.

It's nearly impossible to tip over. It has a flat bottom, instead of a deep draft. This makes it kind of slow, but very sturdy.

No. The base of this is heavier and after it is filled with water I couldn't see it tipping at all. I use it for my chickens and with all the scratching and stepping on it it hasn't even budged from its spot. They have knocked over their rubber bowls in the past but not this one. I'm very happy with this purchase. It's been -10 here and Its working like a champ.
