Worked for me. Thanks. I got the metal strip at Home Depot. Chain link fence tension bar.

This is fantastic my man. EXACTLY the same problem with my 6 month old umbrella. Fix is simple enough. Thank you!

@reginarickert3457 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Worked perfectly. Easy $1.47 fix since I used the metal arm from another old market umbrella we were tossing. It already had the hole, just had to cut off a few inches from one end to line the hole up. Slipped right inside the broken cantilever umbrella pieces. You saved me a fortune and I never would have thought of this!

Fixed mine today. Happened to have that metal strip for my fence lying around. I did see them at Lowe's though on the same section you buy garage sale signs.

Genius! Was beating my head against a wall trying to figure out a fix. Would’ve never thought of going the internal route. Thank you!!!

The wind got mine and we love the design so a repair was necessary. Got an aluminum strip 1/8 x 1/2 x 48 at tractor supply. Had to repair 2 breaks. Can't even see them now...works great.

Home Depot sales the metal strip. Around $4. Same aisle as the screws and bolts.

haha that is EXACTLY how I did it without watching this video. With summer coming and a broken umbrella, I looked around Home Depot and found that metal strip that fit exactly inside. I cut an 8 inch piece and first I tried to glue it inside across the break (didn't hold well), then realized I could just put screws through each broken piece and through the metal rod and fit it together. I also glued the sh*t out of it. Great minds think alike.

Looks like a tension rod for a chain link fence

@elainenilsson5472 Жыл бұрын

That looked like a piece of flat rod that goes down the end of a chain link fence. I'm going to try it.

Interesting fix. This one is another alternative. Issue with this one is getting the copper tubing to the right rectangle. I may try a 3d printed solution.

Copper and aluminum will set up galvanic corrosion when wet, especially if you're near the ocean.

What type of screws did you use?

Love the video, for a non handy person would you know what type of company to buy these metal strips from? brand unspecific as i live in Canada..thanks Bob

@stewsmith3536 Жыл бұрын

Patrick, exactly the information that I was looking for to make a repair for a wind situation! What kind of rod did you use and where did you get it? What screws and nuts did you use for the connections and pivot points? I have to repair two broken ribs! You made a very neat repair

@patricksirk6920 Жыл бұрын

The rod was in the basement but you should be able to find it on Amazon or home despot. I think half inch by 1/8. Steel or aluminum should work. As for screws and nuts, nothing special. But I did trim off the excess screw length with a Dremel rotary tool.

@stewsmith3536 Жыл бұрын

@@patricksirk6920 I ordered the rod from Amazon. Will need to cut it in half because I need to repair two ribs. Thanks for the great method

Do you have a suggestion for the joint to the umbrella and pole. We just got home and ours got blown away and snapped at the pole and bent. I feel like it is fixable maybe... I hate to throw it away it was a nice umbrella.

@patricksirk6920 2 жыл бұрын

I wish I could see a picture of where your umbrella is broken. It’s hard to think about a repair without one. You can’t post images in a KZfaq chat thread, or can you?

@katherinehead8622 Жыл бұрын

exactly what I needed, would cost 285.00 to replace the one I have

Could a wood dowel be used instead for easier screwing?

@patricksirk6920 3 жыл бұрын

Id just use a common bolt and nut. Nothing special. And drilling through that metal isn’t so bad. Just get a good bit and spray it with water so it doesn’t get too hot if you need to. You’ll have no problem.
