Do not fulfill until Frankford confirms package contents, empty and completed weight, required ballast or pavers, finished height, and the FU550NGUE-to-NGU550 cross-reference. Verify the supporting surface can carry the completed system and use professional material handling.
Base weight does not make an open umbrella storm-safe. Close and secure the umbrella in high or sudden winds and whenever it is unattended or not in use.
