I recently bought a Lidl Parasol, it!!!8217;s passed the no quibble date, but when I went to look about a base I suddenly realised that according to the Lidl instruction you needed a base of approx 50kg trouble is I can!!!8217;t find one that weight!

I!!!8217;ve had a look in the usual places but no luck. Anyone here traced this weight of base ?

    I've seen one that has a grid to put four bog standard paving slabs on - in a square with the orifice for the pole in the middle. Possibly Ikea but just a guess as there was a lot of other Ikea stuff at that house. No idea what 4 paving slabs weigh!
