The invention of the Baser umbrella base started with a sandbag. Arne, a husband and father was tired of his cross stand cantilever parasol because it was unhandy, not stable in the wind and difficult to move around on the terrace. Instead of square umbrella base weights he made two sandbags and placed them on the cross stand. At Baser we refined the sandbags to be in a beautiful Scandinavian design made of durable and weather resistant materials. Since then our sandbags turned out to have plenty of outdoor uses: The sandbags can be used as outdoor doorstoppers, keeping your drying rack from flying, securing the awning on the caravan, or simply as Arne did to add extra weight to your cantilever or offset umbrella or trampoline. <p> The fabric is colorfast and weatherproof, so the Baser sandbags withstands ALL season. So you can easily leave your sandbags outdoors. Besides, Baser multifunctional sandbags are OEKO-text 100 certified, which means they are 100% recyclable and no nasty chemicals are used in the production. All in all – useful for you and better for the environment. <p> - Suitable as weight for cantilever umbrellas<br> - Water repellent, dirt & stain resistant<br> - Colorfast textiles <br> - Oeko text certificate: Class 1 (textiles for babies); non-allergenic <br> - 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly <br> - Delivered without sand! <br> <b>Specifications<b> <br> <br>- Shipping weight: ca. 1 lbs without sand <br>Color: Black/Dark Grey <br> Material: Olefin sandbags
