In-ground parasol base — permanent stability for your parasol
An in-ground parasol base (also called ground tube or ground anchor) is permanently installed in the ground and offers the most stable foundation for your parasol. No heavy tiles, no toppling feet — just solid, invisible anchoring. At Boender Outdoor you'll find in-ground parasol bases for pole parasols and cantilever parasols. Browse our complete parasol and parasol base range.
How does an in-ground parasol base work?
An in-ground parasol base consists of a steel or aluminium tube placed in the ground — typically in a concrete foundation approximately 40×40×50 cm. The parasol is inserted into the tube and stands rock-solid. After the season, you remove the parasol; the tube remains invisible in the ground with a closing cap.
Benefits of an in-ground parasol base
- Maximum stability — the parasol stands unwavering, even in wind
- No heavy tiles needed — save space on your terrace
- Invisible installation — only the tube protrudes above ground level
- Suitable for all parasol types — pole parasols and cantilever parasols
- Safe — no obstacles on the ground, no trip hazards
- Minimal maintenance — once installed, reliable for years
When should you choose in-ground installation?
An in-ground parasol base is the ideal choice if:
- Your parasol always stands in the same spot
- You don't want heavy tiles or cross feet on your terrace
- You have a large parasol (350+ cm) that needs extra stability
- You live in a windy location
- You want a neat, tidy terrace without a visible base
In-ground parasol base versus cross foot
A cross foot is moveable but takes up space on your terrace and requires heavy tiles. An in-ground base is permanent but invisible and maximally stable. Choose a cross foot if you want to move the parasol occasionally; choose an in-ground base if the position is fixed.
Installation and assembly
Most in-ground parasol bases can be installed yourself with basic tools:
- Dig a hole approximately 40×40×50 cm
- Place the ground tube level in the centre
- Fill the hole with quick-setting concrete (approximately 4–6 bags of 25 kg)
- Let the concrete cure for 24–48 hours
- Place the parasol in the tube
Tip: install the in-ground base before laying tiles or paving for a seamless result.

Frequently asked questions
How deep should an in-ground parasol base be?
Most in-ground bases are installed 40–60 cm deep in a concrete foundation. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Can I install an in-ground parasol base myself?
Yes, with a spade, spirit level and quick-setting concrete, a handy DIYer can install the base in an afternoon. Let the concrete cure for 24–48 hours before placing the parasol.
Does every parasol fit in an in-ground base?
Check the mast diameter. In-ground bases have a specific inner diameter. Always choose a base that is compatible with your parasol or use an adapter ring.
Can I remove the parasol in winter?
Yes, the parasol slides out of the ground tube. Close the tube with a cap to keep dirt and rainwater out. The ground tube remains permanently in the ground.
Is an in-ground base suitable on every surface?
In-ground bases are suitable in soil, lawn and under paving. On an existing tiled terrace you must remove tiles. On a wooden deck, an in-ground base is not suitable.
How much does an in-ground parasol base cost?
In-ground parasol bases start from around €100. Premium models with stainless steel tube and matching cover plate cost €150–€250. Concrete costs approximately €20–€30 extra.
Do I need building permission?
For an in-ground parasol base in your own garden you typically don't need permission. If in doubt, check local regulations, particularly for flats and rental properties.
What if I want to move the parasol?
An in-ground base is permanent. If you want to move the parasol regularly, a cross foot or mobile base is a better choice.
