First make sure you get a heavy duty base, we got one that gets fill up with sand and water and it was not big and or heavy enough to keep this beautiful umbrella I place when a over the normal breeze nock it to the side, we normally don't have much wind going on and when we do I keep my 10 foot umbrella close, but here and there a breeze will come out of the blue, my original umbrella is bolted to the deck, thus one I place on a different area of my back patio and was thinking 50 pounds was enough, it wasn't, we order a 80 pound metal base and is waiting for it to arrive, is more money but is worth it, this umbrella is impressive and big.
