Join me on my journey to fix/re-string my collapsed umbrella, it's a telescoping Hampton Bay umbrella with a sand base that failed several years after purchase. I take apart the umbrella and replace the broken cord on the inside.

This video was a huge help to me because I had a broken lifter string on an almost identical Hampton Bay cantilever Umbrella. The work with the spindle that is turned by the crank was so much easier, seeing that someone else had already had to do what I wound up doing. And the comment from someone who said that they peeled back the Paracord and cut away the inside, then burned and shaped the end was exactly the method that I used to Anchor the Paracord in the crank spindle.

I used a coat hanger to get the cord down the pipe inside the umbrella. After I was done, it seemed like going the reverse Direction might be easier, I will probably try that next time, as the one I did today was my mother-in-law's and I have the same kind. Hopefully the Paracord will last longer than the relatively low grade train that the manufacturer used. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to shape the end of the string, and also trying to feed the string over the top spindle and down into the pipe inside the umbrella until I decided to use a coat hanger for that part of the job. But I would probably still be working if I had not had this video to watch before I begin.

VERY helpful video. One suggestion…. Invest in a tripod. 😊

Very helpful. Thank you. I did use another method for the paracord/holes feeding. Pull out about an inch of white inner material. Cut and push black tubbing back over. Use a flame to seal the tubbing and shape into point. It is MUCH easier to feed the cord through without the inner material. Learning how to do that by watching another video.

You saved my day, thanks a lot! I was trying to fix mine and stuck - unable to figure out how the cord is attached to the crank. And then I found this video. Thanks again!

This is an every two year project with our same umbrellas. I use a wire fish to pull the new cable down the pole to the crank.

I have to admit, you made it look easier than what I experienced. But it’s all good now. I actually had to go back to your video to get a closer look at the mechanism with the spring for the handle cause I had it backwards,ugh! I got mine at Home Depot around 3 years ago. Thanks again

@@ericreyes2531it was definitely a bit challenging to repair, especially by myself, but glad you were able to navigate it 🙂

Can you share a link to the wing nut and bolt at 19:29? The original pieces were crooked and popped out thus causing my rope to break in teh first place but not sure of the replacement bolt. Thank you for this informative video!
