OPTION 3 - SURFACE PLATE
For installation of the Surface Plate you will require:
• Hex Key Set - Included in your umbrella box
• Corrosion proof washers for leveling base (316 Stainless Steel Bolts, Nuts and Washers are recommended)
For installing to a wooden deck you will require:
• 4 x 12mm CSK Bolts and matching Nuts - not supplied - length will depend on the thickness of the timbers
Or, for installing to a concrete slab you will require:
• 4 Dyna-Bolts or Concrete Screws - not supplied - recommended at least 100mm / 4" long)
Step 1 Choose your site. It's important that the chosen site is clean, level and structurally sound. See Figure 1 and
Figure 8 (pages 6 and 10) for correct orientation for either your square or octagon canopies.
Warning: It is vital that you ensure the Bolt Holes on the Spigot & In-Ground Anchor are orientated correctly.
Step 2 Place the Surface Plate in your chosen location. Install Spigot on top of Plate - use bolts included with
umbrella see Figure 9.
Step 3 Check the spirit level on the top of the Spigot.
Step 4 Slide washers under the base to level if required. Use corrosion resistant washers.
Step 5 Mark the position of the bolt holes on the surface.
a. Decking: Ensure your bolts are running through a joist for stability. You may need to lift up
some planks and install extra timber joists or bracing between existing joists - see
b. Concrete Slab: Recommended minimum depth of 100mm / 4" (reinforced) - See
c. It's also recommended to use washers to space the plate on the decking to allow water to
escape to minimise water damage to the deck.
