Heavy-Duty Fan-Shaped Cantilever Weight Set – 4 Piece – High-Capacity HDPE Ballast System
The Heavy-Duty Fan-Shaped Cantilever Weight Set is a professional-grade ballast solution specifically engineered to stabilize offset and market umbrellas equipped with a cross-base frame. Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this 4-piece modular system offers exceptional durability and is completely rust-proof, making it an ideal long-term alternative to traditional metal weights. When fully deployed, the set provides a massive combined ballast capacity of approximately 60 litres when filled with water or 72 kg when filled with sand, significantly lowering the center of gravity to resist high winds and harsh weather conditions. Designed for maximum portability, each fan-shaped segment features an integrated handle and an easy-fill spout, allowing for effortless transport and seasonal storage. This weight set is the definitive choice for homeowners seeking a versatile, high-capacity anchoring system that prioritizes safety, ease of handling, and structural integrity for large-scale outdoor shade solutions.
Best For: Anchoring large cantilever and offset umbrellas with cross-bases, providing maximum stability in high-wind environments, ensuring a rust-free weighting solution for patios, and facilitating easy seasonal transport and storage.
Key Features
- High-Density HDPE Construction: Fabricated from industrial-grade HDPE plastic to ensure the weights remain leak-proof, impact-resistant, and entirely free from corrosion or UV degradation over years of outdoor exposure.
- Dual-Filler Ballast Versatility: Engineered to accommodate both water and sand; providing 15 L of water capacity or 18 kg of sand per segment for a total set weight of up to 72 kg.
- Modular Fan-Shaped Design: The 4-piece configuration is specifically tailored to fit seamlessly into the quadrants of a standard cross-base frame, providing balanced and distributed weight for maximum safety.
- Portability-Focused Handle Integration: Each segment is designed with a built-in carry handle, allowing the weights to be moved with ease when empty—perfect for repositioning the umbrella or winter storage.
- High-Efficiency Fill Spouts: Features wide-diameter spouts on every piece to allow for rapid filling and draining, minimizing setup time and ensuring a secure, mess-free seal.

Oversized Item Delivery Options
Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
- Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
- Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
- Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions
Business Delivery:
- Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
- If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

- Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
- Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
