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

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.

We absolutely love these weight bags. We use them as counterweights for our event rentals business. We have used them consistently for nearly 5 years now and could not be happier. We fill them with water softener salt pellets instead of sand to avoid the mess. Highly recommend these & love that they come in a pack of 2!

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.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Our area frequently experiences very high winds that blow the covers right off our patio furniture (fishing the sodden covers out of the pool is a special kind of "fun"). I got these to weigh down the the patio dining table cover, and they are just perfect. We filled them with 25lbs of sand each (note they can hold much more), and placed one at either end. The form factor isn't right for our umbrella base, and I had initially thought a cloth weight would never stand up to our desert heat anyway, but these are MUCH thicker and sturdier than, say, Sunbrella fabric, so after seeing and using it for myself, I think they'll stand up to just about anything.

These work great. My umbrella doesn’t move. Each hold 45 lbs of sand. Love the waterproof

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.

Very good and easy to use product. Stabilized my umbrella easily.

This is such a great idea. Very sturdy with a zipper. 2 pieces so you don't have to disassemble the umbrella. You can fit a 50 lb bag of sand in each piece. These will last for a very long time.

Fácil para llenar de arena y cómodo para mover. Queda bastante discreto y elegante.

Pratique ,mais attention si vous avez un parasol qui tourne avec une pédale. La pédale sera bloquée par les sacs. A voir si le parasol tient avec le vent...

item well made holds down my umbrella, I use crushed rock not sand.
