Despite parasol bases being different, they serve the same purpose: to anchor the parasol and its pole. They have a straightforward assembly and installation process. The installation process will slightly differ depending on the parasol base type you have. When installing a fixed base, place it in the intended position and mark the points you will have to screw. Afterwards, use a drill to screw appropriate holes and bolt down the plate tightly. You can then fix the pole onto the base hole and screw it up for stability. In-ground parasol bases are usually reinforced with concrete to ensure their stability. When dealing with weighted parasol bases, place it in your desired position and fill it with sand, or water, then fix the pole tightly and its umbrella last.
