KEEPS A BIG OFFSET SHADE STEADY: Four plates sit on the arms of a cantilever umbrella's cross base and add about 170 pounds when filled with sand, spreading low, wide weight under an offset umbrella that hangs its canopy out to one side
SAND FOR WEIGHT, WATER FOR SPEED: Sand makes the set heaviest at about 170 pounds, while water fills and empties faster at about 115, so the same plates suit a patio that stays set up all year or one that packs away after summer
LIGHT TO MOVE UNTIL THEY'RE FILLED: Each plate arrives empty and light, goes into place by its molded handles and fills right where it sits, so nobody has to carry the full weight across the patio
MADE TO FIT MOST CANTILEVER BASES: The plates are made for the cross-base arms on most cantilever and offset umbrella stands, and a quick look at your own base before ordering makes sure the set sits flat
READY FOR SEASONS OUTSIDE: Heavy-duty resin keeps its black finish through sun and rain with no metal to rust, and the plates drain for storage, which is worth doing before a hard freeze. Umbrella and cross base are not included
