Does this umbrella need to be screwed into the ground? Our table is on a deck and I'm concerned that it wont stand if not mounted to something.

It needs to be stuck into something. It's not secure otherwise and will tilt. The bottom is designed to go into the ground. I still love having it.

Our little table for our toddler grandbabies sits on a concrete patio. The umbrella rests on the concrete. No need to anchor it. When not in use, you'll want to put it (the umbrella) indoors or in a shed. It offers a decent amount of shade.

We have a small table and just placed it through the hole, it works fine on our patio

I have 2 of these umbrellas. It should be fine just standing up in the table. It's a pretty tight fit

mine stays in place without a base. The pole is snug in the opening. I don't have a problem with them and the one I have now is my second one.

It is not free standing. My only concern would be keeping the stakes down in sand.

I have mine installed on my deck. I screwed the legs down to the deck. I leave the frame up all year with no issues. The tent has held up thru the rain and wind at the beach. I put mine up in May and take it down in october.

I don't think so. This system needs the umbrella to go into the ground/sand so it is somewhat anchored. If you keep it above ground it would probably get dragged by any wind. Good luck!

There are two screws. The top of the first is 6 inches from the ground. The top of the second is 14 and 3/4 inches from the ground. I do not use it with my table. I have an umbrella that tilts and I like to be able to move it as the sun moves around. The base is very heavy and holds the umbrella well without the support of the table. The outside diameter is about 2 and 1/2 inch.

You cannot attach an umbrella, but we bought one the freely stands to the side and arches over the table. It's perfect.

You will need to weight it down if you use it as is. The large concrete patio pavers will hold it down. I didn't find that very appealing, because you would need it to be on a very flat surface which meant I had to put it on the patio and it took up a lot of room. My husband installed a pipe with a larger diameter than the umbrella pole, into the ground right outside the patio perimeter. He concreted it in and the umbrella is much more stable and doesn't take up any floor space. We can remove it easily when we do not want it outside in the weather. So we do not use the base that it came with. I really like it for the purpose I need it for, and I am replacing one I had before this. I am pleased with it. I hope this helps you.

I would think the crank may fall below the surface of the table, it would depend on the stand you have it on. Mine is just free-standing on my deck. It's a great umbrella, this will be my second summer using it.

There IS a hole in the top, which has a matching plug/cover, and the base also has a hole. IT COMES WITH A WARNING NOT TO USE AN UMBRELLA. There is no way this unit can hold it up. An option would be to support the base somehow. This table is extreemely lightweight. Can be lifted with one hand.

the pole is smaller than the average outdoor umbrella. i would suggest if you do use a regular umbrella weight that you add something (i.e. foam, crumpled up plastic bags, etc) to keep it in place.

I personally don't leave it outside, I fold it up and bring it inside. It's light enough that this is not an inconvenience to do and since it's the perfect size for our small table and it took me awhile to find this umbrella, I don't want to risk having it get ruined.

It is going to have to be firmly anchored somehow. This thing is fantastic, well made, very sturdy but all the same it is a giant sail. I would not purchase it unless I had some means of anchoring it down. I myself, built mine over top my back deck and drove screws through the mounting plate through the deck planks. I suppose if you were to put each leg into a hole filled with concrete that would do well.

no, you will have to either buy the base separate or if your using it on a wood deck screw it to the deck. I have the white base you use it with, but it takes up so much room and it's real heavy when filled with water.I used deck screws to the deck. If you don't secure it to the deck then it will tip over, the umbrella is heavy and the wind will grab it.

Yes, the mount holds the umbrella in place and is not affected by the wind. The clamps are very strong for both anchoring to the post on the deck and to the umbrella pole. The mount is a very heavy metal and is extremely well made.

Yes, it does. I have mine in an umbrella stand, but it can also be placed in the center hole of patio table.

Yes, the umbrella is tightened to the base with bolt and it sits in very securely. Just make sure that you check the bolt every time you move the stand as it may come loose due to the movement. Additionally, the table comes with a few inserts of various diameter sizes to secure the umbrella rod to the table as well. We had some pretty strong wind and rain as of lately but absolutely no issues with the umbrella, or the stand. A great product in my opinion.

You will need a stand. Mine is installed through a hole in a round patio table and the pole sits in a stand on the floor.Hope this helps.
