Option 3 - Surface Plate
For installation of the Surface Plate you will require:
Hex Key Set which is included with umbrella
• 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 deck and bracing
timbers you are fixing through)
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
correct orientation for either your square or octagon canopies.
Step 2 Place the Surface Plate in your chosen location. Install Spigot on top of Plate - Use bolts included with
umbrella see
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.
Step 6 Drill pilot holes on the marks and check that the pilots are in the right place by laying the Surface Plate over
the top of them, and then if correct, drill the proper holes.
Step 7 Use your bolts to secure the Surface Plate and Spigot to the chosen spot.
Step 8 Slide your Rotation Plate over the Spigot and move on to Stage 3 - Page 24.
