Description
The Manutti Centra Umbrella Base 21kg is the compact iron weighted base designed for the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm — a 50 × 50 cm / 19.7" × 19.7" square phosphated iron base at just 2 cm / 0.8" base height, weighing 21 kg / 46 lbs, providing stable freestanding anchorage for the Centra 180 × 180 cm umbrella on terraces, balconies, and flat outdoor surfaces without in-ground fixings. Available in PCA Black and PCA White — matching directly to the PCA Black and PCA White parasol frame colour options of the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm for a fully coordinated base-to-frame colour combination. The 21kg base features a central opening of Ø4.2 cm / 1.7" and an outer diameter of Ø5.1 cm / 2", with a 36 cm / 14" pole height above the base — engineered specifically for compatibility with the Centra 180 × 180 cm umbrella pole system. Distinctly lighter and more compact than the Centra Max dark granite bases (55kg and 80kg), the 21kg iron base is sized and weighted precisely for the Centra compact umbrella format rather than the large-format Centra Max range.
Key Features
- 21 kg / 46 lbs Phosphated Iron Base — Two Colour Options: At 21 kg / 46 lbs, the Centra Umbrella Base provides reliable weighted stability for the Centra 180 × 180 cm compact umbrella in standard outdoor terrace, balcony, and patio settings. Constructed from phosphated iron in PCA Black or PCA White — both finishes coordinating directly with the corresponding frame colour options of the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm for a fully matched base-to-umbrella colour composition.
- 50 × 50 cm Square Iron Base — 2 cm Base Height: A 50 × 50 cm / 19.7" × 19.7" square phosphated iron base at just 2 cm / 0.8" base height — the most low-profile base in the Centra collection, sitting flush and virtually invisible on any terrace or balcony surface. The compact 50 × 50 cm footprint is proportioned specifically for the Centra 180 × 180 cm umbrella's smaller scale, occupying minimal surface area while delivering the necessary weighted stability for the compact canopy format.
- PCA Black and PCA White — Colour-Matched to Centra Umbrella Frame Options: Available in PCA Black and PCA White — the two powder-coated colour finishes that correspond directly to the PCA Black and PCA White parasol frame options of the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm. Selecting the matching base colour completes a fully coordinated base-to-frame colour composition; the Anodised Aluminium frame option of the Centra umbrella can be paired with either PCA Black or PCA White base depending on the preferred aesthetic.
- Centra Umbrella Pole System Compatible — Full Technical Specification: Central opening of Ø4.2 cm / 1.7" accommodates the Centra umbrella pole; outer diameter Ø5.1 cm / 2"; 36 cm / 14" pole height above the base. Engineered specifically for the Centra compact umbrella pole system — not compatible with the larger 4.8 cm or 6 cm poles of the Centra Max umbrella range.
- Compact Residential and Terrace Grade: Sized and weighted for compact terrace, balcony, café, and residential outdoor settings where the Centra 180 × 180 cm umbrella is deployed — providing stable freestanding anchorage without the bulk or weight of the larger Centra Max granite bases required for the 300 × 300 cm and 300 × 400 cm umbrella formats.
Base Colour Options
The Centra Umbrella Base 21kg is available in PCA Black and PCA White — colour-matched to the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm parasol frame colour options.
PCA Black
Umbrella Base Finish — 21 kg
PCA White
Umbrella Base Finish — 21 kg
PCA Black — powder-coated phosphated iron in matt black; pairs directly with the PCA Black parasol frame option of the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm for a fully monochromatic black base-to-frame composition, or with the Anodised Aluminium frame for a grounded contrast pairing. PCA White — powder-coated phosphated iron in white; pairs directly with the PCA White parasol frame option of the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm for a crisp, airy white base-to-frame composition, or with the Anodised Aluminium frame for a light, minimal outdoor shade arrangement.
Materials & Construction
Phosphated Iron — Square Base Construction
Precision-formed phosphated iron in PCA Black or PCA White powder-coat finish — 50 × 50 cm square at 2 cm base height, weighing 21 kg / 46 lbs. Phosphated iron provides a controlled surface treatment prior to powder-coating that enhances paint adhesion and corrosion resistance for outdoor use. The 2 cm ultra-low-profile base sits flush on any flat terrace, balcony, or patio surface with minimal visual presence.
Pole System — Opening & Outer Diameter Specification
Central opening of Ø4.2 cm / 1.7" accommodates the Centra compact umbrella pole; outer diameter Ø5.1 cm / 2"; 36 cm / 14" pole height above the base. Engineered specifically for the Centra 180 × 180 cm umbrella pole system — the smaller pole opening (Ø4.2 cm) is distinct from the Centra Max base specifications (Ø7.1 cm opening) and the two base systems are not interchangeable across the Centra and Centra Max umbrella ranges.
Usage & Compatibility
Centra Umbrella Base — Compact Terrace & Balcony Installations
The 21kg iron base is designed exclusively for use with the Centra Umbrella 180 × 180 cm — providing freestanding weighted stability on flat outdoor terraces, balconies, café patios, and compact residential outdoor settings. The PCA Black and PCA White colour options allow direct colour-matching to the corresponding Centra umbrella frame finishes. Not compatible with the Centra Max 300 × 300 cm or 300 × 400 cm umbrella formats — those require the 55kg or 80kg dark granite Centra Max bases.
Maintenance
PCA Black and PCA White phosphated iron base: wipe with mild detergent and water for routine cleaning. The powder-coat finish provides weather resistance for standard outdoor conditions; avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the paint surface. Inspect the powder-coat finish periodically for chips or scratches and touch up as needed to prevent rust formation on the iron substrate beneath.
