Cement Umbrella Stand
The Cement Umbrella Stand is a hand-cast Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) base for a patio or garden umbrella, finished in charcoal grey with a three-tier pedestal silhouette and a hand-cast scrollwork border on the middle tier. The weight of the GRC keeps a standard outdoor umbrella upright in wind, where lighter plastic or hollow alternatives fail. Compact 25cm square footprint suits patios, decks, poolside areas, and balcony positions where floor space is limited.

FAQ
Will this hold a patio umbrella in wind?
Not as a sole anchor for fully exposed positions. The Cement Umbrella Stand is a decorative GRC piece — it works best where the umbrella's primary anchor is provided elsewhere (a table mount, a sheltered position, or paired with a separate weight base). For fully exposed gardens with regular wind, use a proper structural base.
Can I leave it outdoors all year?
Yes. GRC is built for outdoor use and weathers like stone — the surface character may shift gradually over years of UV exposure, but the structural integrity holds.
What umbrella pole sizes does it accommodate?
Standard SA patio umbrella pole diameters (38mm and 48mm) sit comfortably in the central opening.
Is each piece identical?
GRC pieces are individually cast, so small variations in the patina depth and surface texture are natural between units. The form is consistent; the surface character carries individual variation.
Will the charcoal colour fade?
The patina is integral to the GRC mix, not applied as paint, so there is no surface coating to chip or wear through. The colour may lighten slightly over years of consistent UV exposure but does not flake or fail in the way painted finishes do.
