I have a large patio parasol, does this hold the weight, even when it's windy?

No. I had to fill mine with sand to keep it grounded in wind and to stabilize the casing that the umbrella post sits in. Umbrella also needs upper support to prevent leaning.

We haven't had any issues with it, and we haven't put sand or anything in it, but it does sit under our table on a patio that doesn't get too windy! It's very cute. The edges are a little sharp. We like ours, especially for the price!

Mrs. R., Thank you for your interest in our Turtle Umbrella Base! For added stability, we recommend removing the tubs that holds the umbrella and add sand to it. Also, to prevent any rusting, apply a clear polyurethane spray. I hope this information is helpful for you. -Cory, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

It needs to be full of sand or cement I use mine for a half umbrella and it holds fine. Windy no umbrella will lift right out and you would need to spray a coat or two of clear or it will rust. Good conversation item though

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue. Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.

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 bought a concrete umbrella base at Sam's Club for about $50.00 and it weighs about 50lbs. We get a lot of wind gusts where I live, so I always keep my umbrella closed by wrapping a small string around it when not is use. I hope this was helpful.

I dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

I would say it's heavy enough to not blow over. I use it down at the beach, which can be windy, and it works fine on my porch. It's also very stable. I'm not great at figuring weights, but I would think it weighs more than 10 lbs.

No....it doesn't t take much wind to take it over! Also had trouble securing umbrella to stand...rather clumsy fitting.

This my OPINION ONLY based upon having one. Mine is attached to my pavers (there are concealed mounting brackets at the base of all four legs of the gazebo) and has stayed put through all four seasons (I live in the midwest) including high winds, heavy rain, hail, and over a foot of snowfall. For a wooden deck - two considerations: 1) This gazebo is heavy - can your deck support this kind of weight AND guests or snow? 2) Support structure - if the wind does kick up and tries to lift the gazebo, is the deck structurally strong enough to stay put?

Yes, the mount holds the umbrella in place and is not affected by the wind. The clamps are very strong for both anchoring to the post on the deck and to the umbrella pole. The mount is a very heavy metal and is extremely well made.

We have fairly strong winds too, but the mesh was thinner than I expected and ended up doubling up the mesh. This worked for me and as long as you tie it up well it should hold up. It's not very porous so it should hold the dust back, but again, you'll likely have to double it up. I hope this helps.

I have been using it for a 10' span deck umbrella in a fairly windy area. It has been able to keep the umbrella steady; I worry more about the railing spindle to which it is attached.

we used tent stakes with 1/4 in poly cord to tie each leg down and it has worked well in 10 to 15 mph winds. Would not recommend putting it up in much stronger winds as it is like a large kite and strong winds has tremendous lift.other wise this has proved to be a very useful shade on calm sunny days. Hope this helps some.

Yes and it is very effective for shade. It rolls down easily and has toggles to keep it from flapping in a breeze. We roll it back up if it's really windy.

I live in a very windy area and my solar shade is holding up well. I left a little slack when I put it over my over the top of my pergola to give a little on the windy days.

I anchored mine down with heavy duty fence stakes from home depot and it withstands strong winds. The tiny stakes provided are laughable. The rest of the greenhouse is quite economical and functional.

I use the base from my previous umbrella, it is all iron and to me heavy. I have had no problems with it even during high winds. Coolaroo allow most of the wind to pass through.
