Hi Linda, It sounds like you need a larger base. Here's a link to a guide as to what size you may need: https://www.ultimatepatio.com/outdoor-living-learning-center/buying-guides/umbrella-sizesHope this helps! -

If the pole is too loose in its sockets, try using toothpicks or small nails as shims until it's tight enough. -

I have an offset umbrella that didn't even have a weighted base. I put concrete blocks or something heavy on it. I have the weighted base from a offset really tall multiple light set that fell apart that I usually use, but if it is windy we put a concrete block on it out of caution. -

Wish all of the questions were this easy to answer. A Google search revealed many umbrella bases heavier than like 40 lb for sale. Here's link to Pinterest where many people have posted projects to make a heavier umbrella base yourself:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/63261569739108368/?lp=true -

There are many different style of umbrella bases. Is yours plastic? , metal? Some are solid, some have a cover to be filled with heavy rock. If you posted a picture of it, we would be able to give suggestions that are more specific to your situation.
