1. Prepare the Base: Place the cross base on a flat, stable surface where you intend to use the umbrella.
2. Secure the Base: IMPORTANT: To ensure stability, you must purchase a weighted base separately (e.g., wikiwiki HDPE Base, search B09QKQFD9L or B09QKR5TJ4), or use sandbags, bricks, or nail the foundation to your deck. The umbrella requires more than 300 pounds of weight for proper stability.
