OPTION 2 - Surface Plate (Concrete Mount)
IMPORTANT: When concreting the in-ground anchor in place, make sure not to get slurry in
the screw threads. Either apply tape over the holes on both sides of the anchor or place the
spigot bolts in the threads and withdraw them with the concrete is set. Make sure that the
in-ground anchor is perfectly level. Allow the concrete to cure for the appropriate cure time for
your area before installing the umbrella onto the fitting.
REMOVAL:
To remove your umbrella for seasonal storage or to move it to another surface plate/
in-ground anchor, simply undo the spigot bolts and remove the umbrella from the in-ground
anchor.
STEP 1 Bolt Surface Plate to Concrete
Fix the surface plate to an existing
concrete slab using concrete bolts
STEP 2 Bolt Spigot to Surface Plate
Bolt the spigot plate to the surface plate
using the five (5) spigot bolts included with
umbrella.Insert the spigot bolts downward
through the holes in the spigot plate and
screw them into the threaded holes in the
surface plate. The spigot bolts should be left
just loose enough to allow final adjustment of
the orientation of the umbrella if necessary, then once correctly orientated,fully tighten
the spigot bolts.
You are now ready to operate your umbrella!

STEP 1 Preparation
The in-ground anchor needs concreting in
the ground as per the diagram (right).

The 1.0m deep x 0.5m wide hole size
recommended assumes the terrain is
thick clay. Should the terrain be fine soil
or sand, the hole size should be increased.
The recommended installation requires
approximately .50 cubic meters of
concrete for silty or fine soil and
approximately .25 cubic meters of
concrete for heavy clay.
