Accessories
Stabiliser bars
The Aurora cantilever umbrella has uniquely designed fixed arm stabiliser bars. These stabiliser arms will greatly increase the umbrellas stability on windy days. The stabiliser bars attach to a mounting block already installed in the groove of the umbrella mast. Each stabiliser arm then attaches to the end of the umbrella arms to the left and right. The stabiliser bars are designed for an environment where the umbrella needs to be up for longer periods of time and windy conditions.
Protective covers
Although we have designed our cantilever umbrellas to last and have manufactured the canopies using the highest quality outdoor fabrics, we still recommend using a cover-bag to protect your umbrella through the winter months. The cover-bag helps to keep the canopy clean and free from bird-droppings and other unwanted nasties. It will prolong the life of your umbrella and keep it looking its best for many years to come.

Bases & Installation
Spigot
The spigot is included with the Aurora & Eclipse cantilever models and can be bolted directly to suitable concrete slabs or decking. Upgrade to 316 marine grade stainless steel available. Able to be removed from (optional) base plate or in ground fitting for clear space when desired.
Cross Base
This non-permanent option is perfect for areas where you would like to move the umbrella to different locations around the garden or if you live in a rental property.
Set of 4 Pavers
Designed for use with the Aurora Cantilever Umbrella Cross Base, these pavers are made from moulded concrete and come in a set of 4. Each concrete block weighs 22kg and measures 500mm x 500mm.
Base Plate
Our base plate is suited for areas with existing concrete or decking. Decking installations need to have extra support installed to the joists and for concrete the base plate can be bolted down with a minimum concrete thickness to be 100mm.
Watch how to install Cantilever Umbrella Base plate.
Inground Sleeve
The inground sleeve is suitable for installing to all soft surfaces such as lawn, garden beds, sand/aggregate beneath pavers. The hole to receive concrete and unground sleeve is usually 500mm square and 700mm deep with a belling out of the bottom. Once the concrete has set and cured the umbrella spigot simply bolts on with 4 stainless 316 marine grade steel screws.
Barrel Extension
The Barrel extension is used to raise a cantilever umbrella out of dirt, sand or tan bark so it doesn’t cause any damage to the rotating mechanism or just to give some extra height to the umbrella if needed. It is 300mm high and 215mm in diameter, and is black powder coated steel.
The Barrel extension is designed to be bolted to an in-ground sleeve or base plate.
Freestanding 880 mobile base

The wheel set is optional, so you can use this impressive base without them. This type of base is suitable for light to moderate winds only, (depending on umbrella size).
Optional lockable 316 marine grade stainless steel wheels available.
