We have a cantilever umbrella on our roof deck that needs replacing. The umbrella has this massively heavy granite base that the pole of the umbrella snaps into. I would rather buy the same brand of umbrella so I do not have to deal with moving the base. The pole is rectagular and the base has a release lever. Here is a photo. Can anyone help
There are so many brands and varieties of cantilevered umbrellas out there and they come and go. Getting replacement hardware is next to impossible unless it is a very expensive brand name - and even then.
The base appears to be bolted into a paver (I may be wrong, the snow in the picture may be hiding something important) and from what I can see that collar is hides the bolts that bolt the umbrella's post into the paver. There may be a metal plate under the paver that secures the post and ensures that the bolts don't individually break loose. Again, it's hard to tell.
Yes the base is identical to the umbrella I linked above… the pedal is not to release the base from the post, but to allow you to rotate the umbrella … if you look at the channel in the post, about a foot above the base, you should see a hex bolt … remove the bolt and the post will life right off the base.
