Can an umbrella be put in the center?

There isn't a hole or mount, but i have seen cantilevered umbrellas this season.

Yes my table came with a hole in the center for an umbrella but it has a plug you can put in it also

Yes, there are two knobs just above the base that are easily tightened. Our 13 foot umbrella has stayed secure, never a problem. When you move the umbrella around a lot, make sure and check that the knobs are still tight. I have noticed they can come loose after a lot of movement.

No. I use this for a breeding cage for smaller parrots like plumheads. It is way too small for an Umbrella. It looks bigger in the picture but I was a little disappointed.

Yes as long as the umbrella wasn't tilted and windy. I always put something heavy on the legs to help stabilize it when I tilt it.

I have not tried that but my guess is it is too big of an umbrella to only be supported by the base. At least if there is any breeze at all. I am thinking of trying it on the side of the table to increase the shade area but I would still have it touching (and tied to) the edge of the table for support.

Hello Mamamia, I would say it probably could prevent the umbrella rotating in a light breeze, if you tighten the set screw really hard, but I wouldn't count on it stopping rotation in any sort of stiff breeze, as that umbrella will have lots of leverage to bring to bear on that small area. You may actually want the umbrella to turn in the wind, rather than fall over. The center tube is 1-3/4" diameter on the outside, and comes with inserts to fit two smaller size umbrella poles. By the way, the tube is water-tight, and fills with rain water. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying when you put the umbrella pole in and water gushes out of the tube. Even though it's powder-coated steel, I'd recommend drilling a small hole as close to the bottom of the tube as you can, to let it drain. Otherwise, it's a fine stand!

Yes, slightly. There is a portion of the umbrella rob just above the clamp that is a bit flexible. Not really flexible, but slightly. And this does help once you get the clamp where you need it.

Since I do not have an offset umbrella, I am not sure, but it is an ample size. It does go on over the top of the umbrella and you would have to be able to do that with the offset one.

Yes, I am just using our old base that we previously had & it works just fine. But our base is able to be tightened to squeeze snug to the umbrella.

The center pole is thinner than a patio umbrella. But I don't think it would be tall enough for a patio umbrella. You need to stoop down to get under it on the beach. It has a corkscrew on the bottom of the pole. You would need to put something under it to make it taller. But as for a beach umbrella it is fantastic!!!!! We used it for 2 years now and in high winds its great. I think patio no, beach yes.

The base on my offset umbrella has two cross pieces attached to a pole into which the umbrella pole slips. The cross pieces fit into grooves molded into the bottom of the base and the base pole protrudes through the hole in the base. The base pole should be no more than 2.5 inches or so in diameter, otherwise it's a tight fit. If that's the case, it should work. Be sure to fill with water only after you've put your umbrella where you want it to stay. This base works so well because it gets seriously heavy.

It can't. Just returned mine. The hole at the base is too narrow to allow for the umbrella pole to go through.

I wouldn't think so. It is light weight and not very tall so it would probably tip over if an umbrella was put in it.

There is a shaft in the center the umbrella pole fits down into. After inserting the umbrella you turn a knob on the side that tightens a screw against the umbrella pole which helps keep the umbrella from moving.

I may be assuming incorrectly, but if you are going to insert an umbrella, I wouldn't. This is not a patio piece. It is designed well, and it is strong, but not heavy. Certainly not heavy enough for an umbrella subject to wind. Also, my model folds in half. Another reason to not cut a hole in it, IMHO. For my purposes, it is a good buy.

Yes. Definitely. Depending on how large your umbrella is you might want two or three. That would look really nice too.
