I loved these. For almost a year. Today I went to shift the blocks to move the umbrella a bit and 3 of the 4 blocks sprung leaks in the holes circled in the photo. This is not where they are filled. They are filled from the sides and those are fine. Now I either have to attempt to seal the holes and buy sand to fill them or buy a new set because I am sure the warranty is expired

This was a great purchase! Absolutely love it and it was easy to fill and apply in spots. I bought the umbrella last year from Ollie’s and had been looking for weight to put down. These were perfect!

Good quality and on time delivery. I filled the base pieces with play sand which provides good support for my 10ft cantilever umbrella. It was somewhat time consuming to add the play sand which was damp and did not flow easily. I would suggest drying out the sand before attempting to fill the base, if you find yourself in that position. The dry sand will flow easily into the base and you can add water to the sand for more weight if needed.

I ordered the base I was told to fit the umbrella I ordered. Although I can use it, the fit is not as tight as I would like. But I can use it. I have only had this base for a year. All four sections have cracks in the bottom and will not hold water any longer. Is there something I can do or order a different style

We get a lot of strong winds, filling these with water was not enough. This year we used sand and that seems to be holding better
