has anyone moved this about after filling it, if so, how? thanks

It's pretty heavy after putting sand in it. Just roll it around. I still have mine in the same place after a year. The umbrella is still in good shape because I keep it close if I know there will be strong winds. I keep it close with those thick bendable ties available at Lowe's or Home Depot. I hear don't use water on these because it's not heavy enough and make sure the sand is not wet if you put it in since it will be hard to do so.

I filled mine with concrete. Also painted it. Weighs about 60 lbs. now so it's not that easy to lug around unless you put it on a roller of some sort. The best way to move it otherwise is to tilt the umbrella post and roll it on the ground. Except for the notch by the handle, it's circular on the base.

It is not really exact. You just fill it as needed. I typically fill it every week just to be sure it is full.

I think it is screwed in. We haven't taken it down, but I don't think it would be that big a deal to move it. Wouldn't want to move it often. We have it in the basement with other gym equipment. Love it!

You just lift it off the base and the bottom opens up to fill. Then just put it back in place. There's a handle on top. Its nice and simple.

did you unfold it and let it sit for a couple of days? this helps to let it rise before you sleep on it....you can stand it in a closet if you are cramped for space

You are smart to ask! I didn't. Over a month after ordering it...I finally received it, rolled up on my doorstep. You will have to frame it. Fortunately, my husband is very handy and was able to do it. We are happy with the piece, but was mislead about what I was ordering. I hope this helps ;)

Pull the salt top section off - just above the black seal. You can fill from top. Hope this helps.

I removed about half of the fill for my wife and just a little less on mine. It comes down to personal preference. I save the extra fill in heavy duty zip lock bags so it will stay fresh incase I need to add some back.

Yep, fill it up from the top. The opening is a little small but manageable. It's easy to overfill though since you can't see the bottle.

Stuffing it inside is a little bit of a pain, but I think i ll get used to it if I do it couple more time. You cannot roll it back in (unless you have 3 other people to help). You should be able to "stuff" it back in.

You're only suppose to fill it up to the last black line on top. Anything higher will cause it to overflow.

Have not tried mine out yet, but have been told filling 1 vessel from another be sure the filler sits higher and upside down as the one being filled is lower, even if the filler is not completely full. Hope this helps.

Same place where you fill it.The base is a P.O.S.It will probably crack over time,and with extended use, and drain itself,unfortunately.Mine did.

PUSH IT! :-) Seriously, fold it as much as you can on the lines that remains from the first time you took it out and then the rest is just pushing it harder and harder! That is how I do it :-)

It took me 3 days to fill ours. We had no issues. We live in FL and I filled it last July.

It is not very easy to fill, I used a funnel and that helped. I also worried it was not quite heavy enough so i bought a small sand bag and just set it on top of the base and that makes it very stable.
