Does anyone have one of these large garden longer type
umbrellas?
If so do.you use the cross base that you fill with sand bags and put into the cover and are they stable enough ?
Or did you but another base for it
If so which one please ?

I have something similar to the one in the picture. It’s secure in the sense that it’s not easily knocked over from the base however the umbrella itself can be lifted by a strong wind and toppled if it isn’t closed. Ours has been great on our patio where it gets strong afternoon sunshine.

Thank you @Overtheatlantic
I had a canterliver large one with really heavenly metal type quarters that went in between the 4 leg cross bar to hold it down, but over time the cross bar metal broke.
What base did you get isvit the one that holds sand / water ?

Did you get it a wheeled one
Thanks
