This base is specifically engineered for use with slender parasol poles and smaller canopies up to 1.5 meters in diameter, making it perfect for:

Bistro sets

Balcony tables

Small garden chairs with shade covers

Children’s play areas or picnic tables

Its low-profile design allows it to blend seamlessly under furniture while remaining unobtrusive and easy to position.

Boxed Dimensions and Weight

Width: 40.5 cm

Height: 34.0 cm
