Are you tired of your parasol swaying in the wind, your garden furniture covers blowing off, or your drying rack tipping over with freshly washed laundry?

We’ve all been there—holding a parasol steady during a gust so it doesn’t blow over.

You’ve probably even tried to stabilise your drying rack with random rocks.

Or maybe you’ve come home after a storm to find your garden furniture and pots scattered everywhere.

Perhaps you have a cantilever parasol that never seems stable in even the lightest breeze.

If any of this sounds familiar, then Baser sandbags are exactly what you need.

That’s why over 62,204 Baser sandbags are being used around the world to keep things secure.

They're perfect as extra weight for granite parasol bases, drying racks, spa or pool covers, and they’re ideal for keeping cantilever parasols stable.

These sandbags can be used year-round, in any weather, making them the top choice for your garden or terrace.

So, if you want to prevent things from blowing away or tipping over, just like these:

When Grandpa Arne invented the best parasol base using sandbags, we had no idea how versatile they’d become.

Not only do they keep things secure, but they’re also built to last.

Crafted from high-density, heavy-duty 250 g/m² solution-dyed polyester, made from GRS-certified 100% recycled plastic bottles, and sewn with industrial-strength thread, they’re designed for long-lasting durability.

A Sandbag Like No Other

What makes a Baser sandbag stand out?

1. Tough enough to withstand sun, wind, and rain without breaking.

2. Fade-resistant, keeping its colour vibrant.

3. Offers a stylish, simple design at a fair price.

If you’re looking for the ultimate sandbags that can handle all types of weather,

with fabric that holds its colour and strength year after year,

then check out Baser sandbags.

Well, There Are Cheaper Alternatives...

At Baser, we’re always honest :) — so yes, a Baser sandbag isn’t the cheapest option out there.

And yes, sandbags come in all sorts of shapes and fabrics. So, what's the big difference? It’s all in the fabric and the stitching.

Think of it like comparing cheap nylon or flimsy plastic to high-quality outdoor fabric that’s built to last and hold its colour.

With lower-quality sandbags, you’ll struggle with tears, leaks, and disappointment. They might seem fine at first glance...

But soon enough, you’ll notice the fabric fading in the sun and losing its strength.

And those sturdy-looking handles? They start to fall apart after just a few uses.

Not to mention, the sandbag that looked so neat and square online now looks anything but. It’s lost its shape and looks sloppy in real life.

And don’t even get me started on those plastic plates you fill with sand or water. They leak before the season's even begun or take forever to fill with their tiny openings.

By the time you hit August, they just don’t seem stable enough.

Or those heavy granite slabs you place on top of your cantilever parasol stand. They’ll pinch your fingers, and once they’re down, they’re impossible to move.

Worse still, they’re toe breakers... and you can’t return them because, somehow, "you’re using them the wrong way." Absurd, right?

So yes, a Baser sandbag may cost a bit more, but it will last—and do its job—season after season. Guaranteed.

We know it will last because it’s made from high-quality materials.

In fact, it’s made from 100% GRS Certified recycled plastic bottles. For each sandbag, you help recycle an average of 100 grams of plastic, which equals about 5 bottles.

Plus, we use a 100% PFAS-free water-repellent to avoid harmful chemicals, making our sandbags not only durable and reliable but also environmentally friendly.

And here’s the best part—we have an insane "we’ll buy your product back if you’re not satisfied" guarantee!

Yes, we’ll buy back your Baser sandbags, and yes, we’ll cover return shipping if you don’t think they’re doing a great job.

You can read the full guarantee below, and if you have any issues, just write to Christian(@)mybaser.co.uk and we’ll make it right.

But honestly, I’m confident you’ll love your Baser sandbags because they’re just as good as our Baser parasols and bases—and our customers seem to agree.😜

What Clients Say

I used to have a circular cast iron base, but it couldn’t keep my parasol upright. Since switching to Baser, my parasol doesn’t fall over anymore. It’s sturdy yet easy to move — a perfect combination. Definitely 5 stars!

Rebecca Smith

I didn’t have anything before, so Baser was the perfect choice — I can move it easily on my own. The quality, design, and product support are all excellent. Absolutely deserves 5 stars!

Katherine Free

Parasol finally stands perfectly!

We went through four other parasol bases before finding this brilliant one. Easy to assemble, move, and even looks great on the patio. Extra bonus!

A company with an outstanding service level – fantastic experience!

High Quality

Just received my parasol and base from Baser, set it up on the patio, and it stands stable in strong winds! Fantastic customer service and quick delivery.

Lea

Superb Company to Deal With

All our questions were answered quickly, accommodatingly, and informatively. The parasol itself lives up to the advertised quality and feels like a very, very good quality product.

Michael

We’re super happy with our parasol

We’re super happy with our parasol – it has durable fabric and a roll function to easily open and close it. Truly a quality parasol, above most others on the market. It also looks great, and Emma loves to take a nap on the sandbags.

Thuy

So, What’s the Difference?

The difference is huge.

After just a few months, cheap sandbags start to lose their colour, fading into a zebra-striped pattern. That beautiful anthracite shade disappears like morning dew in the sun.

The handles break or are on the verge of breaking.

And it's not just me saying this. Real customer reviews mention, “It holds my parasol, but they faded after one season. My main concern is, will they hold up?”

Feel free to look it up yourself.

Cheap Sandbags for Cantilever Alternatives to Baser Weight Bags

This Is Where Our Sandbags Are Different

We didn’t just aim to turn a 1-star review into a 3-star one.

NO – We’ve gone all the way and built them for durability.

Crafted from robust, high-density 250 g/m² solution-dyed polyester, made from GRS-certified 100% recycled plastic bottles.

With each sandbag, not only are you getting a strong and durable material, but you’re also recycling an average of 100 grams of plastic—equivalent to 5 plastic bottles per bag.

We use industrial-grade thread to stitch each sandbag, ensuring they’ll last for a long time and withstand heavy use.

And naturally, they are water-repellent—just not the old-fashioned way using PFAS chemicals...

Nope, we use a 100% PFAS-free water repellent, suitable for all outdoor conditions.

So whether you need sandbags for your cantilever parasol, extra stability for your parasol base, or to secure your drying rack or outdoor cover, Baser Sandbags will get the job done—season after season.

And bonus: As you can see, kids love playing on the sandbags! They’re gentle on bare feet and super easy to clean. 😉

So, Are They Really That Good?

Baser Original Sandbags are top-notch.

They’re heavy-duty, not just in how they perform in the wind, but also in the quality of their materials.

Made with high-density 7.4 oz/yd² solution-dyed polyester, sewn with robust, industrial-strength thread, they’re built to last. They won’t break or fade like the cheap ones.

We avoid low-quality fabrics that are only surface-dyed, like the cheap sandbags out there.

In short, our sandbags offer great quality at a fair price.

I would NEVER sell a sandbag for parasols or cantilevers that I wouldn’t want in my own garden.

And as our 4.8 out of 5-star reviews show, the quality, product, and customer service speak for themselves. 😉

OK, I'm In! Cheap Products Aren't the Best Choice, and Baser Sandbags Look Pretty Cool.

Let’s quickly sum up what makes Baser Sandbags unique.

First off, they make your cantilever parasol, parasol, drying rack, or even your birdhouse incredibly stable (yes, there are Baser sandbags on a birdhouse somewhere in Sydney!).

The bottom line? You can enjoy those perfect summer vibes without worrying about your drying rack tipping over or your outdoor furniture blowing away in a sudden gust.

Baser sandbags fit almost anywhere, and they come in both straight and curved versions.

Plus, we make them as sustainable as possible by using recycled materials.

Choosing the Best Sandbags for Outdoor and Cantilever Parasols

Durability and Secure Support

When choosing sandbags for outdoor and cantilever parasols, look for options that offer long-lasting durability, water resistance, and secure stitching. Baser Sandbags are crafted from high-density, solution-dyed polyester made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, ensuring they won’t fade or weaken after a single season. With each bag designed to withstand outdoor conditions, they offer unmatched stability for both outdoor and cantilever parasols. Unlike cheaper alternatives that tear or lose shape, Baser’s Sandbags provide consistent support, making them a top choice for your outdoor setup.

For cantilever parasols, we recommend using 100 kg of weight for up to a 3 x 3 metre parasol to keep it secure, with additional weight advised for areas with strong winds. Baser Sandbags allow you to easily customise the amount of weight, providing the stability needed for your setup to withstand variable weather conditions.

Many customers use them to secure drying racks, pool and spa covers, trampolines, and even outdoor furniture covers with Baser’s durable sandbags.

Are Sandbags Ideal for Extra Stability with a Traditional Parasol Base?

A Simple Way to Keep Parasols Secure in Wind

Using sandbags as extra stability for a traditional parasol base can make a significant difference. Standard parasol bases can sometimes fall short in windy conditions, and adding sandbags can provide the additional support needed to keep parasols stable. Baser Sandbags are designed for this purpose—they’re versatile, easy to position, and ideal for providing added weight without the need for heavy or hard-to-move bases.

These sandbags are compact yet powerful, offering a secure hold that complements your existing parasol base, even on uneven surfaces. Unlike heavy concrete bases or plastic options that may shift, sandbags offer flexibility and ease of use that traditional bases can struggle to match. For cantilever and garden parasols, Baser Sandbags ensure reliable support and peace of mind, keeping your setup secure in any weather.
