Engineered from high-strength steel with a specialized dacromet coating, this base offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and environmental degradation, outperforming standard painted finishes in high-moisture outdoor settings. By embedding the unit directly into a concrete foundation at ground level, it eliminates the need for bulky, surface-mounted ballast, effectively removing tripping hazards and maximizing usable terrace space. The 6 mm thick mounting plate features an M8 thread pattern, making it compatible with a wide range of industry-standard cantilever parasols. This in-ground sleeve is the definitive choice for homeowners and commercial contractors seeking a streamlined, high-stability architectural foundation that prioritizes safety and a minimalist outdoor aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003chr\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Providing a permanent, high-stability anchor for cantilever umbrellas, eliminating tripping hazards on patios and terraces, maximizing floor space in high-traffic outdoor areas, and establishing a professional-grade foundation for large-scale sun protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eDacromet-Coated Steel Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Utilizes a high-performance industrial coating that provides superior salt-spray and corrosion resistance, ensuring the structural integrity of the base remains intact underground and through harsh weather.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eFlush-Mount Space-Saving Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to be embedded at ground level, creating a clean, professional finish that allows furniture and foot traffic to move freely without the obstruction of a traditional umbrella stand.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Underground Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features integrated metal teeth designed to provide a firm mechanical bond within the concrete foundation, significantly increasing the unit's resistance to wind leverage and torque.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Cantilever Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equipped with a precision-machined 16 x 16 cm top plate with M8 drill holes, specifically designed to fit the standard mounting patterns of most premium offset umbrellas.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Stiffness 6 mm Top Plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features an extra-thick steel plate to prevent warping and ensure a perfectly level mounting surface for the umbrella mast, providing long-term structural reliability.\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel with Corrosion-Resistant Dacromet Coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Plate Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 x 16 cm (L x W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlate Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e M8 Threaded Holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Industrial Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 32 x 32 x 39.5 cm (Concrete)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not recommended for loose sandy or stony soils without concrete reinforcement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eIdeal For (Uses)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePermanent Terrace \u0026amp; Patio Installations:\u003c\/strong\u003e The primary choice for property owners who want a dedicated shade zone without the visual clutter and maintenance of mobile or weighted bases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Hospitality Spaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for restaurant patios, hotels, and café terraces where safety is paramount and a flush-to-ground finish prevents guest accidents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Offset\/Cantilever Umbrellas:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for stabilizing top-heavy umbrellas that require a rigid, immovable base to counteract the force of wind on an extended canopy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreamlined Modern Landscapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e A versatile and dependable choice for architectural outdoor designs that favor clean lines and high-performance, hidden infrastructure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"vidaXL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48090336952420,"sku":"15031.4003367","price":101.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/8721012989436_a_en_hd_1.jpg?v=1773970820","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/in-ground-parasol-base-silver-16x16x39-5-cm-steel","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
