This legacy FIM ground-insert base creates a low-profile, permanent anchor point by setting a zinc-plated steel sleeve into concrete. It is intended for compatible FIM cantilever and Flexy systems when a freestanding base is not desired.

Key Features

  • Zinc-plated steel sleeve
  • Permanent in-concrete installation
  • Minimal visible footprint when the umbrella is removed
  • Legacy compatibility across several FIM product families

Specifications

  • Manufacturer: FIM
  • Part/SKU: GIB
  • Product type: ground-insert base sleeve
  • Base support tube is model-specific and may be sold separately

Dimensions

  • Use the official GIB installation drawing for sleeve depth, concrete footing, fasteners, and finished elevation.
  • No universal finished-footing dimension applies to every soil, wind, and umbrella configuration.

Compatibility & Installation

  • Legacy manufacturer compatibility includes C-Series, P-Series/Capri, Flexy, R-Series, and X-Series.
  • Not verified for Flexy Twin or Flexy Zen; those systems use dedicated mount components.
  • Have footing size, drainage, reinforcement, and local wind requirements reviewed for the site.

Important: This is a structural anchor. Installation must follow the FIM drawing and local engineering/code requirements; do not substitute a generic footing.
