Business & Pleasure Co Clamshell Base

The base is crafted from high-quality aluminum. This material is an excellent choice for outdoor use because it is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring it maintains its structural integrity and appearance over time.

The size selection should be based on the diameter and weight of your umbrella. Generally, the Large base offers a wider footprint and additional stability for larger umbrellas or areas prone to higher winds, while the Medium is ideal for standard-sized patio umbrellas.

The Clamshell Base is designed to accommodate most standard patio umbrella poles. However, we recommend verifying your umbrella pole diameter against the base's opening to ensure a snug, secure fit.

Aluminum is very low-maintenance. To keep the finish looking its best, simply wipe the base down periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust, salt, or debris.

While the aluminum construction is durable and weather-resistant, we recommend storing the base in a shed or garage during harsh winter conditions or extreme weather to preserve the finish and prevent potential damage from heavy snow or ice.
