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

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.
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.
Re: For Hal , How are umbrellas mounted to screen tables
7/21,,,,first chance to tryout the super dooper holder.....
Worked good
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.
