Installation Instructions for Ground Insert base
Materials and Tools Required 1-2 bags of quick set ready mix concrete (please consult with your building supply store for exact quantity)
2 gallon mixing bucket
Small hand shovel or trowel
1 piece of 2 x 6, 18-20 inches long
2-4 inch C-clamps
Carpenter's level
Installation Procedure
1. Clamp the ground insert base with the flat top plate to the center of the 2 x 6
2. Determine exact location for the umbrella base. NOTE: to achieve a straight alignment of a rectangular umbrella canopy with a rectangular patio, insert the base at a 45 degree angle.
3. Once the proper location for the base has been established, prepare a hole approximately 12x12" square and 24" deep, and fill it with quick-set ready-mix concrete to about 1" below the surface level. Make sure to follow the mixing instructions carefully.
4. Push the ground sleeve into the mixture and agitate it with quick, short strokes so the concrete will bond to the metal. Lower the sleeve until the 2x6 rests on the ground surrounding the hole. This way it is assured that the top of the plate is flush with the ground once the concrete has set.
5. Take a water level to check if the top of the 2x6 is esactly level in all directions. If it is not, simply use shims or wedges to raise the board where necessary. Complete this step carefully, as the umbrella post might appear to "lean" if the base is not installed plumb.
6. Let the concrete set overnight. Remove the board and make sure not to knock the sleeve hard (concrete takes up to 7 days to cure). Cover the open screw holes on top of the base plate with masking tape.
VERY IMPORTANT: The umbrella rotation disk "O" allows for the number of fixed positions in a full 360-degree circle. If you need to position and lock the umbrella over an exact spot (e.g. the center of a table), make sure to orient the ground insert so it allows you to properly lock the umbrella in.
