These four HDPE weight plates are designed specifically for banana and hanging cantilever parasols — fill them with water for 56kg of ballast, sand for 72kg, or a combination of both for up to 84kg. That's enough to keep your parasol stable through a typical British summer day without needing to bolt anything to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach plate has its own filling port and screw cap, so filling and emptying is straightforward. When empty, the full set weighs just 8kg — easy to move or store over winter. Four connecting hooks hold the plates together around the parasol pole for a secure, tidy fit.

The cross base must be purchased separately or sourced with your parasol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich parasols are these compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese weights are designed for Outsunny cantilever and banana parasols, specifically SKUs 84D-118CW, 84D-118, 84D-118GN and 84D-118GY. They are suitable for any cantilever parasol with a standard cross base that accepts 50 x 50cm weight plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I fill with water or sand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSand provides more weight per plate (18kg vs 14kg for water) and is the better choice if you're in a windier location. Water is easier to source and drain. A combination of both gives the maximum ballast of up to 84kg total. Fill fully for best stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I empty the plates for winter storage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnscrew the cap on each filling port and tip the plate to drain. Water drains quickly; sand may need to be scooped out. Once empty, the full set weighs just 8kg and can be stored flat in a garage or shed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outsunny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42468071735452,"sku":"84D-172V01BK","price":52.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0427\/2236\/1500\/products\/3IY98a1866e568fe5.jpg?v=1685474223","url":"https:\/\/opalretail.co.uk\/products\/outsunny-set-of-4-parasol-base-stand-weights-for-banana-hanging-cantilever-umbrella","provider":"Opal Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
