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.
