Review on Heavy Duty 23-Lbs Pre-Filled Round Patio Umbrella Base With Sun-Flower Pattern For Outdoor, Swimming Pool, And Market Umbrellas - Black by Randy Washington

I purchased 4 of these umbrella stands to hold 4 1/2 ' artificial Christmas trees in the pots on my front porch. Most umbrella stands have 18" diameter bases, which are larger than the pot diameter. The base on these stands is about 16", which fits well into my concrete pots. I placed some bricks on top for added weight and the trees remained standing in heavy winds. I use some PVC pipe to reduce the umbrella stand diameter to the side for the tree pole. The trees will be easy to remove by simply releasing the locking screw and lifting the tree out of the stand, even if the base of the umbrella stand is frozen into the pots.
