hole, however, it’s best that you seek appropriate advice from a licensed
contractor for your specific circumstances. When pouring the concrete, it is
advisable to install a few lengths of re-bar into the concrete to prevent the
possibility of cracking in the future. Remember the depth of hole is more
important than width, and it is much easier to make the hole large at the time of
installation than to try and re-stabilize the in-ground mount should it start to
move at a later date.

If installing into a paved patio, you may need to remove some pavers/tiles to
facilitate the in-ground mount and have them cut and reinstalled back around
the circular in-ground mount plate to give a clean, flush installation. When
setting the in-ground mount into concrete, the top surface of the mount should
be at the same level as your patio surface, so that if the umbrella is removed or
relocated, then the face of the mount is flush to your surface.
IMPORTANT: Align one of the screw holes in the top of the spigot with your
desired 12 o’clock position on the umbrella. Assure that the in-ground-mount
plate is level. After the in-ground mount has been installed and the correct
amount of time has passed for the concrete to harden and “cure”, you can
finally stand up your Axis umbrella on the mount.
Now that your In-Ground mount is installed and you’re ready to attach your Axis
spigot, you will need to remove the four “grub-screws” that are installed in the
four spigot-bolt holes in the in-ground mount. Lift the Axis umbrella and spigot
on top of the mount. It will take two people to complete this. One person can
hold the umbrella in the upright position while the second person finds and
locates the four holes for the spigot bolts. Screw in all four spigot bolts loosely
by hand. Once all four spigot bolts are in then you can use the supplied allen key
to tighten up the bolts. Now you can carefully open your umbrella for the first
time.
