Rhino BaseMate 18" Umbrella Base Weight – Fits Offset, Cantilever & Outdoor Patio Umbrellas – Detachable Design – Black – Easy Setup

Sometimes you don’t know what to call what you need. You just scroll through things. Once in a while up comes something that looks like it’s almost a perfect solution so you go for it. When it arrives is it actually as great a solution as you hoped? And sometimes it is. This product is one of those. I needed added weight for a 21” square umbrella base. I didn’t want raw sandbags. These are 18”. They seem very well made of tough-looking nylon (I think) . And 50 lbs of good dry sand just filled each of these up. I lined these with a heavier gauge plastic bag (garbage compactor liners, 2 mil, not gigantic) and put in the sand. 50 lbs in the plastic bag liner just filled it to capacity and it zipped ok. In the blurb it suggests a 50 lb bag of sand might just drop in these bags. Maybe some but the sand I bought was in the wrong shaped bag to fit. The filled bags sit on the umbrella base just right. They are even made with an inset to go around the pole base. I do NOT suggest wetting the sand for a few extra lbs of weight. This product is not meant to be water-tight and I doubt the plastic bag I used as a liner is either. The price is good for what seems well made and well designed. 100 total lbs adds substantially to tipping resistance and stability. I might have selected a wider base, which would help. Wind will apply substantial tipping force to umbrellas , especially wide ones. Probably best to furl it if breezy.

This is working great and would recommend to others! Filled large ziplock bags with sand and then put sandbags inside base.

These are pretty good strong material. Could be stronger but definitely not the super cheap thin material. I like that the handle straps actually go all the way down and accross to the other handle and not simply seen to the side of the bag. This makes it much less likely to rip off. I kinda wish the zipper was higher or on top of the bag, but instead it's about an inch below the top on the side. Zipper looks like strong plastic or cheap metal (not really sure) but because it's a slightly bigger zipper it looks sturdy. The adding extra gravel I was able to get each bag to 45lbs. You can't put much more. Now my only problem is for cantilever umbrellas you cannot use them how they are intended. I had to lay each bag along the leg of the base in order to make it sturdy enough. You can just put it around the post (see pictures) but is not as sturdy and the edge up the base lifts up a little. Would recommend thought. I'm thinking of buying another set for my 15'x9' umbrella with center post.

This is a solid, quality product. I'm using it for a cantilever umbrella, and it holds it down very well. I followed someone else's recommendation, and put 4 patio blocks in the umbrella base, and that not only adds some more weight and stability, but also allows this product to lay more securely over the umbrella base. I also followed someone's recommendation to fill with gravel/stones, vs. sand and I didn't think a 50 LB bag would fit, but it did. Makes for a much cleaner and sturdy set up. Lastly, I'm glad I got the one that separates - it's easier to lift and move if I want to relocate the umbrella. Overall, a very good product and looks to be well made and should last for at least a few years.

Very well made holder. My one criticism is the fill hole is small and getting sand into it takes a long time. Assuming you have the patience to fill with sand then this holder is great. Filling with water then the fill hold size is a non issue.

This worked perfect to stabilize my umbrella by my pool.

We just got the weighted base, so I don't know how long it will hold up. the the bags and stitched handles appear to be sturdy. The bags were also easy to fill because of the full length zipper openings. I also like the fact that there are two sections, rather than just one full weighted base, which would be very hard to move without having to remove the sand. The main reason I didn't give this a better rating is that the description of the product said it could hold 100 pounds of sand. We could only squeeze a total of 80 pounds of sand into the bags. Since our overset umbrella instructions said that 100 pounds of weights were needed to keep the umbrella from tipping in any windy situation, we now have to find a way to add some more weights or blocks to keep the umbrella stable.

Seemingly strong fabric, even when filled with sand. Did not feel like it would rip when I had to move it multiple times around the yard when finding the right place for my umbrella. Like other commenters, I added one sandbag (the whole bag, not loose) into each of the two weighed bags. There's handles on the bags to make moving and positioning them easier. There's also hook & loop on the side with the pole notch to attach each bag to each other. This brace weight will work great for most round bases. However, for a crossbar base, you should do the following, to get a sturdy and solid foundation. This assumes your crossbar base has the bottom lips where you would normally attach them to the ground with bolts. First, get yourself some concrete square step stones. At minimum, get two. But since you're there, get 4, one for each side. They're cheap. Put each of these on top of the lip of the base. Now you've made yourself a nice movable base. Next, put these bags on top of the crossbar. If you've filled the bags with 50lbs of sand, along with the stones you'll have about 300lbs altogether keeping this thing down. And moving won't be a problem since you'll just need to move 50lbs at a time. Pros - Bags seem sturdy and don't look like they will rip. Time will tell if the weathering will cause these to disintegrate - Handles on each side make carrying them and moving them a cinch. - Big enough not to cause any problems when filling with 50lb sandbags without taking the sand out Cons - Made mostly for round bases, but can be repurposed (see above) for cross bar bases - If you have a large cantilever umbrella, the 100lbs that this can fit (2 50lb bags) may not be enough. See above for tips on reinforcing with step stones. Overall, this fit my purpose. We were hosting a little kids party and I had to make sure the umbrella stayed put even if some sugared-up kid decided to mess with the umbrella. The combination of this weight and the stones made sure of that.

Très pratique et efficace .

Rapidità della consegna prodotto. Prodotto discreto nn particolarmente stabile

Genial. Mejor que los carisimos pies. Se llenan de arena y se colocan encima del soporte. Genial

I have given these bags a 5 star rating but I have only had them 1 week. But so far so good. They fit a bag of play sand each but in order to zip up the bag you just have to cut the sandbag to allow some sand out to fill all corners. Then you can zip it up. No mess or fuss. I then placed them on the X stand of my cantilevered umbrella and they held really well. Even on a slightly windy day.
