ABSTRACT:
A ballasted support base is disclosed which may be used to support a large variety of structures and objects. In the preferred embodiment, three equal arc-shaped tanks are fastened together to form a disc-shaped base. When empty, the tanks may be easily transported and they may be stacked to occupy minimum space. When the tanks are fastened together, a flange is used to support a center plate which in turn supports a pole. A plurality of diagonal supports are attached to the pole and the periphery of the base. Each tank comprises a cap for preventing liquid from evaporating and a recess is provided on each tank to allow the tanks to be stacked without interference from the cap. Each tank may also comprise stiffeners for withstanding compressive loads and an adjustment plate may be used to adjust the angular position of the pole.
