Due to the Galaxy’s massive size, we recommend either anchoring the Galaxy to an
existing substantial concrete slab or installing it into a newly poured concrete pier using
our in-ground fitting.  The Galaxy cannot be used on a timber deck.  The Galaxy weighs
approximately 265 pounds and is not intended to be removed except in preparation for
extremely severe weather conditions.

INSTALLATION FITTINGS &  OPTIONS

There are three standard installation options which provide the best stability for the Galaxy.
Depending on your situation, you will have requested one or more of the Galaxy base
options at the time of your order. 

   1. CONCRETE MOUNT KIT 

- This kit includes a base plate, six (6) stem bolts, and 

        one (1) allen wrench.

   

2. IN-GROUND MOUNT KIT 

- This kit includes in-ground fitting, six (6) stem bolts, 

        and  one (1) allen wrench.

   3. FREE STANDING ZEUS STEEL BASE 

- You may opt to use the Zeus steel base for  

       your Galaxy umbrella. We recommend a minimum of a 1,000-1,800 lbs. base weight 

        for this umbrella (depending on the size of your umbrella).      

NOTE: 

If using the Zeus, 

        wind guidelines change from moderate winds to light winds only.  

NOTE:  REFER TO BASE WEIGHT MATRIX AND SEPARATE 

MANUAL FOR BASE ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO PROCEEDING.

STEP 1:

NOTE: 

Perform steps 1 & 2 PRIOR to removing Galaxy frame

from box.  This will ensure smoother assembly and lower 

chances of frame damage.

    1. Packaging Removal

       a. Open box #1 and remove the upper section of 

        Styrofoam packaging. 

       b. Remove the plastic sleeve and packaging from

        the mast (7) and boom (9).  Use caution not to 

        scratch or damage the frame.  

STEP 4:

    1. Remove the canopy structure from box #2.

    2. Place a ladder next to the boom.

    3. Stand up the closed canopy structure on the end of its arms near the boom and 

       ladder.  Ensure that the open end of the head fitting (10) is facing the boom (9).

    4. Remove the bolts from both sides of the head fitting.  Set them aside; they will be 

       used to bolt the canopy structure to the boom in STEP 5.

    5. Take note of the winder cord’s pulley hanging from the head fitting (10).  Notice the 

       metal, u-shaped anchor shackle at its end.  The anchor shackle should be screwed to
       a cylindrical coupler.  This coupler will connect the winder cord to the mast cord. 
       Remove the tie attaching the winder cord’s pulley to the hole in the head fitting, taking 
       care so the pulley doesn’t fall into the head fitting.  

    6. Remove the bolt from the boom’s pulley anchor shackle.  Now, take the anchor 

       shackle, line it with the cylindrical coupler, and reinsert the bolt to connect the 
       coupler to the anchor shackle.  Tighten the bolt; both pulleys should now be 
       connected by the anchor shackles and coupler.  Make certain the mast and winder 
       cords do not twist or tangle during this process.
