do you think it would work to set this in an umbrella holder, the kind you would use for a patio umbrella, instead of setting it in cement?

I think it could work very well however this thing is very flimsy and you cannot put too much or anything heavy on it as it will fall over And if it falls it will break as it is very flimsy

It has to be pretty close to fitting in one My g/f had her da make us a stand since he was a metal fabricator. He used a Christmas tree stand design.

Hi RandJsMom, actually, it might. I know the umbrella holder we have is really heavy and the umbrella is large .... but, I don't know how it would work if there was a heavy load of clothes ...wish you could ask the manufacturer. Take care.

Though I gave this as a gift, I don't think that it will support an umbrella. It is kind of lightweight. I don't recall a hole in the middle either.

Ken - I don't see why not. If it drills into clay and silt, it should do fine with sand as long at the sand does not backfill the hole before you can set the umbrella stand.

Have not tried it for an offset umbrella, but based upon the circumference and the weight when filled with sand, I don't think there is enough support to hold your umbrella securely

Not sure, I used an older umbrella weight on the bottom to hold it in place. If it will be on a deck, can always screw it down.

I wouldn't put cement in them. They weigh about 40 lbs if you fill them with sand, and they work great.

I filled mine with concrete. Also painted it. Weighs about 60 lbs. now so it's not that easy to lug around unless you put it on a roller of some sort. The best way to move it otherwise is to tilt the umbrella post and roll it on the ground. Except for the notch by the handle, it's circular on the base.

Haven't tried that, but this is not a heavy duty item anyway. It works fine, but more in a casual setting or at home. You'd want a pretty beefy stand for anything with a shaky balance. I guess the holder would work though.

The center pole is thinner than a patio umbrella. But I don't think it would be tall enough for a patio umbrella. You need to stoop down to get under it on the beach. It has a corkscrew on the bottom of the pole. You would need to put something under it to make it taller. But as for a beach umbrella it is fantastic!!!!! We used it for 2 years now and in high winds its great. I think patio no, beach yes.

i have a concrete patio, but it would most likely be fine if you purchase large square cement pieces and make a slab large enough to hold your fire. this what i would have done, if i did not have the cement patio installed. hope this helps! :)

Yes this should work for you. This is an awesome product that provides for a range of hole size and also keeps the umbrella from movement.

It probably could it it was weighted properly, the bottom3-4' usually extends into a weighted holder so wind does not carry it off. I don't see why it wouldn't work. great umbrella!

Only if the umbrella is very very light weight. The stand does not have a lot of weight, so it would not be a good choice to hold a typical patio umbrella - it would very likely tip over. Your best bet is to find an Umbrella stand with a larger base. Most patio umbrella stands are either made of heavy material or allow you to fill the base with sand to add weight.

Nope. You need to be able to push the end of the umbrella into sand or grass and then the same for the metal pieces that hold down the sides. Wouldn't work on concrete.

I think that might work for a while, but it would start to get wrecked with the rain and weather. I gather that it is designed just for indoor use, like for shelves etc. Hope this helps.

I have not tried that but my guess is it is too big of an umbrella to only be supported by the base. At least if there is any breeze at all. I am thinking of trying it on the side of the table to increase the shade area but I would still have it touching (and tied to) the edge of the table for support.

Yes, but you need to make sure the umbrella accommodates patio height tables (longer pole needed) - many do not.
