Can the center pillar be filled with sand or shot?

Sand, no. Shot, perhaps, but why? The base is adequate to prevent tip-over as is.

The center pillar has a hole near the top and bottom that is designed to help conceal speaker wire. It would be quite a chore to seal those holes well enough to add stability through adding sand or shot. The base plate on the bottom provides good stability on its own. The stands are not as tall as they appear in the photo. Best of luck on your search for your perfect stand.

It can be used for either. Just make sure you add vybar or stearic acid, or I can only imagine the pillars would melt into a blob shortly after lighting them,

No I do not see how. It is an air hole where water would leak out and too small to get sand in.

You can use sand, if the sand is fine. It should flow through the water wheel part.

No. Both can hold either water or sand. I've found it easier to just fill with water because it is just so tempting to pour water back and forth until you have a muddy mess!

You can try cement or gravel, but I wouldn't. Sand is what the tubes are designed for, and I'm totally satisfied with mine filled with sand. The sand is packed hard and doesn't move around.

I put some good ole fashioned GA red clay! But regular dirt/sand will work, opening is on the bottom and does not leak once capped.

Yes, you can add a umbrella to the center of the table if you install the 2X4 cross brace called for in instructions.however, the umbrella would require a ground footing in order that it is anchored by the table and at the floor or ground. A small bucket 6" tall and 9" wide at the top filled with sand would do the job if you are using in on a patio like I am. If you are using it in a grassy area you could dig a hole for umbrella shaft

The plastic is probably too thin to handle being sand box, we just use ours for water and my father already wants to buy another one jic. Plus its pretty big so that'd be a ton of sand. But you can try it, I think the sides are strong enough to handle it however.

as you indicated, there is a pillar in the middle of the case. However, in my case, I can insert my carbine ( makes it by 1/4 inch plus my take apart shot gun (separating barrel from stock). It all depends on the shape of your gun.

Yes. You need to fill the base with water or sand. We bought ours in September and it's the same exact style and brand from my son's Tae Kwon Do school where there are many amazing black belts who practice on this equipment every day.

Yes the sand is already in the hourglass. Not removable unless you break the glass either.

Yes if you put sand in the bottom you should be able to fit that many coming out of the top ! That will look good !!

You can use different media such as fire glass or lava rock, but sand shouldn't be used.

Yes if you sand bag it. Because of its size it wants to cant left or right or twist off center. What I did is make some weighted feet to give it stability. I used 4 buckets and filled them with plaster of Paris making sure the 4 bottom poles were centered and straight. The poles stay in the plaster of Paris forever and are transported separately in their own box. You can set the arch up on the beach and bury the buckets on the sand. You'll be good to go.

I doubt it. Sounds like you would need 6 to 8 closers, and then the sand could interfere with their proper functioning. I wouldn't make the investment of time + $.
