The Hanover Brown Iron Umbrella Base is a sturdy foundation designed to keep your patio umbrella stable and secure. This square base measures 19.8 inches on each side with an 11.81-inch height, providing a solid footprint for standard umbrellas while remaining compact enough for most outdoor spaces. Weighing 19.84 pounds, it offers substantial stability without being unwieldy, and the durable iron construction features UV-resistant and weather-resistant properties to withstand outdoor conditions season after season. The rich brown finish complements a variety of patio décor styles and coordinates well with Hanover's outdoor furniture collections. No assembly is required—simply place it in your desired location and insert your umbrella pole. With a 1-year limited warranty on both labor and parts, this umbrella base is an affordable way to add shade and protection to your deck, patio, or garden area.
Material is everything for outdoor furniture. Powder-coated aluminum, polywood (HDPE), and teak are durable and weather-resistant; avoid cheap steel (rusts) or untreated softwoods. Available from $78.95.
Patio sets have no energy costs, but maintenance is required to prolong their life against the elements. You will periodically need to buy protective covers, wood sealants, or fabric cleaners. High-quality materials like teak or polywood cost more upfront but eliminate replacement costs.
Common Failure Modes
Sun exposure and moisture are the enemies of patio furniture. Fabric fades and rots, cheap steel rusts, and wicker unravels. Storing cushions indoors during storms and using winter covers drastically reduces these failures.
Material is everything for outdoor furniture. Powder-coated aluminum, polywood (HDPE), and teak are durable and weather-resistant; avoid cheap steel (rusts) or untreated softwoods. For cushions, insist on solution-dyed acrylics (like Sunbrella) for maximum UV and mold resistance.
Lifespan varies heavily by material. Plastic may last 5 years, while high-end teak or aluminum can last 15+ years.
