Granite Umbrella Stand
A granite umbrella stand is a heavy umbrella base that will keep your patio umbrella in place.Granite is extremely durable and will continue to look good season after season. Just like any other patio umbrella base, be sure to know the size of your patio table umbrella before you make your purchase. The size of the umbrella will determine what weight you need for your umbrella stand. Here are some guidelines: 35 lbs or less for a 6 to 7.5-foot umbrella in a table 40 to 55 lbs for a 7.5 to 9 foot umbrella in a table 65 to 75 lbs for 9 to 11 foot umbrella in a table or up to a 9 foot wide free standing (if it isn't really windy) 100+ lbs will support any free standing umbrella. They are not normally used with tables.
One benefit of using durable stone over a cast iron umbrella stand is that it will not rust. We have rust marks on our pool deck from our umbrella base.
