Water Bases for Flags
Maximum ballast for exposed, windy sites - fill with water or sand, empty to move on
Product Description
A Water Base (parasol base) is the go-to for keeping a flag planted where it’s exposed to wind. Fill it with water or sand on site for heavy, low ballast, then empty it to relocate. Choose the Medium for everyday use across all flag sizes, or the Large for big flags in the toughest spots.
| Option | Flag sizes | Ballast | Filled weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Water Base | Small and Medium | ~6.5 gal water or sand | ~55 lb |
| Large Water Base | Large and Extra-Large | ~8 gal water or sand | ~73 lb |
Freezing conditions: if you fill with water in winter, add salt so it can’t freeze and crack the base. Sand avoids the issue entirely.
