The delivery by forwarding agent by agreement delivered to your door cargo is already quite a chunk. The 50 kg are difficult to move. But with tilting and rotational movements can be the Mini range including package push onto the terrace. For delivery: Here it is - as always with such deliveries - no exact time to arrange, so you have to plan the whole day; Delivery was with me, however, already at 8.30 clock, so the day was further good use.
The almost noble sensitive protective plastic coating over the existing from so-called polymer concrete slab with 60 cm diameter seems stable and has no cracks, gaps or weaknesses. If this material in future withstand the various temperature and weather changes, I will certainly enjoy using the umbrella stand.
The screen holder tube including square mounting base is secured by four thick stainless steel socket head cap screws on the massive concrete slab. The holding tube with welded, about 10x10 cm large base plate (screw spacing 8 cm) is obviously made of stainless steel with a variable plastic insert for clamping varying degrees Schirmschäfte. This plastic insert could be a weak point when cooling makes the material brittle. You have to wait and see.
The clamping of the screen is done without tools through two (!) Provided with plastic knobs clamping screws. The clean enclosed internal thread On the bottom for screwing the smooth and easy spin-on rollers so that the stand as much as 50 kilograms, including screen can be easily moved to another location. These roles can be screwed in by hand if you "has been" the trick; However, a tightening with the spanner is recommended.
These four wheels can be found by pressing down on a stable clamp to prevent in strong winds unintentional roll around the screen. Considering the terminals with your toes back up, they dissolve again.
The umbrella stand makes an excellent, stable and secure impression and can be used without knowledge of the state after a few years of use at the moment are in my opinion considered with the highest rating. (C) 3/2013, Redaktionsbüro Geissler Uli Geissler, a freelance journalist, Fürth / Bay.
