GUIDELINES TO CONSIDER WHEN INSTALLING
When choosing a location to install your umbrella, it is important
to be aware of the umbrella’s arm closing height and opening
arc. Your umbrella may connect with a wall, fence or furniture if
situated too close.
OPENING ARC
Be aware of the clearance space required if you wish to rotate
your umbrella. Nearby walls, trees, fences or a balustrade can
limit this umbrella feature. Positioning your umbrella in a corner
can severely limit your space to rotate.
ROTATION SPACE
Where possible, we recommend the umbrella is positioned
upright in the desired installation location, and fully opened
before installing the ground fittings. This is to ensure that the
umbrella will fit, and that the installation location is correct.
We recommend this is done in little or no wind.

DECK PLATE
Your WINDMASTER 10 Cantilever Umbrella is delivered fully assembled. Things to consider when installing your
WINDMASTER 10 Cantilever Umbrella using the deck mount plate.
1. Installing on a wooden deck using a Deck Plate.
2. Installing on an existing concrete slab or pavers using a Deck Plate.
Prior to installing your installation mounts please read the important information below.
CORRECT ALIGNMENT OF INSTALLATION OPTIONS: Your WINDMASTER 10 Cantilever Umbrella can rotate
360° and be locked in 16 different locations. This means that every 22.5° of rotation there is provision to lock
the umbrella. In most situations there will be a preferred area over which you will predominantly want shade. To
ensure you can shade your preferred location you must have one of the 22.5° rotation locking holes in line with
this position. Please examine the underside of your Spigot (mounting post) to see these 16 locking holes.
There is a locking hole in line with each of the 4 Spigot (mounting post) bolt holes in the Spigot (mounting post)
plate. There are also three intermediate holes between each of the Spigot (mounting post) bolt holes and these
are marked with an indicator mark on the top of the Spigot (mounting post) plate.
To point your umbrella in the perfect direction or to have a symmetrical installation (especially when installing
square umbrellas) it is very important to make sure you install the Base Plate or In-Ground mount square to the
direction that you predominantly want the umbrella to point.
GUIDELINES TO CONSIDER WHEN INSTALLING ON A CONCRETE SURFACE

SURFACE INSTALLATIONS
Your umbrella comes with a Spigot (mounting post). Once you have installed the Deck Plate mount
according to the instructions below, attach the Spigot (mounting post) to the Deck Plate mount
using the supplied Allen wrench and bolts. This is recommended as a two-person operation.
INSTALLING ON A CONCRETE SLAB: To install your WINDMASTER 10 Cantilever Umbrella onto a
concrete slab you will need the following:
• Deck Plate and deck bolts (purchased by you or supplied by your hired professional contractor.
(We recommend concrete bolts approximately .5” x 4”)
• A hammer drill with masonry bits
• A socket set
• A trusted level
• IMPORTANT: Your umbrella must be bolted down into concrete at least 4” deep. Keep a cushion
of 6-8” from edge of concrete slab.
Once you have decided on the location of the WINDMASTER 10/Deck Plate, use the four outer holes
in the deck plate as a template to start drilling each of the holes in to the concrete. Drill each of the
four holes using a hammer drill, down to about .5” deeper than the concrete bolt being used. This
allows space for the bolt if dust falls to the bottom of the hole. Drill the holes at the correct diameter
for the bolts provided. Use a level to ensure the base plate is level once all four holes have been
drilled. If the deck plate is not level, use galvanized or stainless steel washers to level the deck plate
on the concrete. Torque down the four bolts through the base plate with washers (if needed) until
they are fully wound in and are tightly holding the deck plate.
After the deck plate has been securely fixed to the deck you should now remove the four “grub bolts”
that are installed in the four Spigot (mounting post)-bolt holes. (The purpose of these grub bolts is
to keep dirt out of the threaded holes when not in use). Attach the Spigot (mounting post) to the
deck plate using the supplied hardware and tighten down with the supplied Allen wrench. Lift the
WINDMASTER 10 umbrella onto the Spigot (mounting post) on top of the base plate. Now you can
carefully open your umbrella for the first time.
