Does the base fill with sand

Yes. Comes with instructions on how to fill with sand and bricks if desired.

The base is divided into sections that are meant to hold bricks (Bricks are where the weight comes from). Once the bricks are placed into the sections then you spread sand over the brick that will fill any empty areas between bricks etc. (Bricks will vary in size, see directions)

Absolutely,, play ground sand which I seem to recall one bag is 40lbs. I combined sand and several bricks which may have totaled a bit under the recommended weight ? I think they recommend 80lbs..so I would encourage using at least the minimal recommended wght to minimize issues. I mean once it's together you're not gonna want to take it apart. I have had NO PROBLEM and I am very satisfied with this product.

The base fills with bricks, sand or a combination of both.Instructions illustrated and very clear. I used washed playsand and it seems fine.

Yes, it is. I bought one bag of sand at Walmart and it was enough to fill it. That gives it the weight to not blow over. God bless.

No the bag is not but you have to fill the base with water or sand I suggest sand.

yes. But this is not a good product. Mine came with a bunch of air inside which makes the sand get trapped and not work.

Sorry, I don't know. We were using it for sparklers and had sand in the bottom of it..didn't have any problems.

Depends on what you fill it with. If you fill it with sand only then you'll probably be good. If you fill the base with both sand and water you have a potential mess on your hands if the base gets cracked somehow

Yes it really really does! We poured two bags which are a hundred pounds into the base and then put two more on top so that's 200 pound s and it want as stable as it should be.when the entire quantity was on, it had the stability it needed.it's not expensive, about $5 per bag, so around $35 for the sand. It's just a real pain getting it into the base....

Mine does the same thing. You have to prop up heavy units around the base. We made two rice socks and have them bracing around the base. This would work with sand too.

Yes you can put sand in it. You can put water, marbles, dried beans, etc. in it.

We put water in the base, but you could use sand if you prefer. We haven't had any issues with it deflating.

The base does not come with sand. I used the yellow pages to find a business that sells sand. I was lucky the owner gave me the sand. Please, make sure the pole of the umbrella will fit properly into the stand. My did not and to this day I have to place things around the pole and to make it sand up straight.

Yes, you can fill them with sand or water but, realistically, it doesn't seem necessary. They are VERY heavy!

Depends on how much sand you put in the base. If the base is mostly empty than it should not be a problem, otherwise you will need to meter how much gel you put in the base.

Yes. We haven't filled it with sand yet but over the weekend we moved the box and it was dry inside.

No it does not come with the sand. It'll take 3 bags of sand if you were to buy it at the hardware store

No you do have to fill it. I suggest water. Sand is a little messy. Yes,it is adjustable. It is a great product.

Yes, absolutely. When it comes, you have to put it together, The top piece and the 4 legs. Just pull the legs back off and stick it all back in the box. I bought two of these, one for my daughters house and one for mine. My daughter's doesn't have the sand section. We just use both sides with water instead of buying sand at my house.
