Re: For Hal , How are umbrellas mounted to screen tables

Hal- you should try a bungee cord. No engineering required. Just wrap and go!

Heartily agreed, the very simplest solution to a project is always the best.

Also, since this morning's posting, I've been on Walmarts' website ( WALMART.COM ).. along with 50+ umbrellas of all sizes & colors ( & $ )...I see they offer an umbrella holder said to be made for clamping on a Golf cart rail.

No needed.

Re: For Hal , How are umbrellas mounted to screen tables

Thanks for the photos , it got me pointed in the right direction , got something built & ready to go , so I will try it out thus weekend & hope for the best , it's going to be a hot one for sure , so I have lots of water , big shade hat & umbrella I hope that does the trick.

Hal,
Better stick to diggin dirt. If I were a welding contractor and you interviewd with something like that I would probly have only one thing to say.
REALLY, are you serious?
On a serious note, you are one ingenious feller.

Very true but it's craftily according to plan....haven't had anyone ask me to make them one.! I think I may try something out of PVC next

Re: For Hal , How are umbrellas mounted to screen tables

What a beauty !

At a recent dig: Peggy, Max & Karl all had a super big style of umbrella....Just made for sportsmen ( like diggers / screeners & beach goers )

It's appropriately named SPORT BRELLA ( put that into Google )

Pointed rather thin metal shaft ( pushes into sand or throw dirt )
The ribs are a strong carbon fiber, flaps for added horizontal protection AND a really great feature, tie down rings at the end of each rib...excellent for moderate wind gust control..

$36. at Sams...
From the google info, up to $60. at some places. From a discount mailorder place $32.

Hal
The umbrellas come with a stake and tie down kit and a storage bag,great deal for $36.00

Still to be myth buster tested...Is it better than a bungee on a leg ?

The jokes on ME !

I gave a trial run to ANOTHER new shade invention..."the backpack brella "

On this visit to the SW Texas desert country ....IT RAINED !
Not heavy but lightly for up to an hour at a time...so the new invention worked great for as well as shade .

It's one of those drink backpacks with PVC pipe screwed to a piece of plywood.
The key part of the rig is the swivel to allow different angles ....friction lock to hold.
