Stands & Bases for Large Umbrellas
At American Holtzkraft, we specialize in equipping hospitality spaces with large umbrellas. We understand the unique needs of your hospitality space, and pair each umbrella order with an appropriate system of stands & bases, ensuring your outdoor spaces are stylish, shaded, and functional.
The Hospitality Essential – Large Commercial Umbrellas
Umbrellas play a crucial role in the hospitality industry. They must contribute style, shade, and function to the outdoor spaces of hotels, restaurants, cruise ships, and other venues. To keep umbrellas secure and functional, an appropriate stand and base system is essential. These pieces are as important as the umbrella. The larger the umbrella, the more critical the base, since the risk of becoming unstable grows with size.

Consider the canopy of an umbrella like a sail; it catches the wind, and the force can be strong enough to move an entire boat. The same principle applies to an umbrella’s canopy, which can be propelled by wind if the base is not strong enough to secure it. Our team can help you determine the ideal base for your umbrella, ensuring it’s secure and functional in any environment.
Key Features of Bases and Stands
When considering the source and type of base and stand needed for your commercial umbrellas, it’s crucial to prioritize certain key features. This will ensure you make an informed decision that meets your specific needs.
Weight
To securely anchor a substantial commercial umbrella, the base must be heavy. American Holtzkraft offers a range of bases, and all of them have the level of heft needed to secure our umbrellas.
- Model #600 – approximate weight = 55 lbs.
- Model #601 – approximate weight = 71 lbs.
- Model #602 – approximate weight = 57 lbs.
- Model #603 – approximate weight = 138 lbs.
- Model #631 – approximate weight = 74 lbs.
- Model #633 – approximate weight = 96 lbs.
- Model #635 – approximate weight = 126 lbs.
Type
Bases can be freestanding or permanently installed into the ground. American Holtzkraft offers both options, allowing hospitality businesses to select the installation style that best suits their needs.
Material
The composition of base systems is critical to durability in extreme environments. American Holtzkraft offers bases made of aluminum, stainless steel, heavy steel, and other materials that promote longevity and functionality.
Size
The diameter of the base piece where the pole attaches must be the right size for your umbrella to fit. Consult with our team while shopping to ensure that this key element doesn’t go unconsidered while planning your order.
Transportability
Some of the bases that we offer are available with wheels for situations that require relocation on a routine basis. This feature can be beneficial, as it allows one worker to perform a job that would otherwise require multiple people to complete.
Maintenance
Maintenance of all your site furnishings is essential, but the materials and composition used for the base must promote ease of care and longevity. American Holtzkraft prioritizes these factors for all of our products, including the stands and bases.
