SlickBlue 22 Inch Umbrella Base Stand 102 lbs Fill Capacity

22 Inch Fillable Umbrella Base

The SlickBlue stand is a 22 inch round patio umbrella base made from HDPE and metal. It weighs only 6 lbs when empty and can be filled with water or sand to reach 102 lbs for stability. The black finish resists cracking and fading in outdoor conditions. It accepts umbrella poles of 1.5 or 1.9 inches and suits umbrellas within 10 ft.

Installation and Common Issues

Setup involves inserting the metal supporting pole, tightening the screw, filling the reservoir with up to 6 Gal of water or 86 lbs of sand, securing the ring cap, and locking the umbrella with the adjustable knob. The two plastic inserts help fit the specified pole diameters. A frequent issue is under-filling the base, which reduces stability in wind. Over-tightening the plastic inserts can strip the threads, so hand-tightening is advised.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This base suits homeowners with a single patio umbrella up to 10 ft that has a 1.5 or 1.9 inch pole and who want a portable, fillable option. It is not for buyers who need a permanent in-ground mount or a base that supports larger commercial umbrellas. Shoppers requiring a heavier fixed weight without filling should consider alternatives. Builders needing a base for dual umbrellas or poles outside the stated diameter range will not find a match here.
