Can it be filled with water instead of sand and not leak?

If you live in a climate that can get cold, it is not a good idea to use water. you wouldhave to pour out the water before winter. The expansion and contraction can cause the plastic to crack and leak. I prefer sand for that reason.

I *think* so but am not sure. The base is pretty thick sturdy plastic so it *should* hold water but I'm not sure if it's completely airtight. Sand is denser than water so it would be better to fill it with sand. After we filled ours with sand I don't recall seeing it leak. A bag of sand is pretty cheap from Lowe's.

yes, it can be filled with water. that is what I have done btw. It is liter but should hold as long as it is not a windy day. will fall over other than that. We have it in a patio table and works fine.

I really do not know, but I used sand because I thought it'd make it more stable. The plastic seems thick enough for water though.

Mine was filled with water for a while with no leaks, but I found my umbrella was to heavy for just water. Ended up going with sand.

It can be filled as much as you want it to be. I just wouldn't run it without water.

You have to fill it up yourself with either water or sand I believe - it was purchased for my daughter.

Yes, as long as you don't move it or over fill it with water. If you are going to keep it inside, I would suggest putting down a plastic sheet underneath just in case.

No, I don't think so. I think I had to clip all the sides and top together so the rain would leak out...unless you use high gauge garbage bag to line it :)

You have to fill it up yourself, Don't worry though. You can fill it up with common sand, gravel, etc.

Yes. You have to get it lined up correctly to make sure that it does not leak. I have been using it for several months and love it.

Hi Bradley,thank you for your interest in one of our products. No, it doesn't fill with water. The water runs through it. I hope that I answered your question.Best regards,Customer Service

The bags are a heavy unlined canvas and have a fold at the top with velcro that keeps it tight. If you filled them with water it would leak through the bag and the top. I'm assuming your wondering about water so you don't have to carry the 40lb bags of sand around. I'm thinking if you could find some kind of water/liquid bladder that you could slide into the bags then then fill with water. You may want to check into a sporting goods store, but that option may be quite expensive especially since you would need 4 of them.

No you do have to fill it. I suggest water. Sand is a little messy. Yes,it is adjustable. It is a great product.

Sure. It will probably fill with water though, but it's very well built, but lightweight so it should work fine.

No. It's fine with a little water missing. Actually, the water will evaporate a little over time anyway. We usually fill it back up, but it's fine without it.

Yes it will leak. Only good as long as it is upright. The top has a slider type opening.

Absolutely not. There must be something on the back to hold it in place.I did not go with sand or water. Instead, I placed bags of topsoil on the base. It works just as well and much easier to remove if needed.

Is there room for a water reservoir in the bottom to keep from having to water everyday?

It depends on what you fill the base with. It's supposed to be filled with sand and water, but if the base gets cracked, it'll cause a huge mess.

Sadly, I don't think you can. I believe it stays leak proof due to the seal that's required to fill it from something else that also has a pump. I don't see any other way to fill it.
