My family got an offset umbrella for free because the fabric had a hole in the middle so it was broke. We couldn’t pass up that deal so we got it and now we just need to buy a new replacement! Thanks to this video I’ll know how to set it up! 💖

Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out how to replace my cover because the pull cord was running through it. All the other videos I saw only had covers with velcro or zipper closures that made replacement a breeze. This one took both of us some fiddling around but we got it together. Wonderful tutorial!!!!
@jasonfoley46772 жыл бұрын
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you very much. I have the exact same type of offset for umbrella and the canopy is over four years old. A little bit sun rotted. I repaired it several times but it’s time for a replacement and I was wondering how to do it. Your video demonstrates the process I was looking for perfectly. Thank you very much

This was a huge help and along with finding a supplier for the replacement cover, has saved the whole frame from landfill. However the unit at the base of the cord is different for our one, it did not just pop out, we had to unscrew the part to get to the base of the cord. Bit more fiddly but got there in the end.

Hey so quick question. With my patio umbrella, the string was torn off from the base end, not the umbrella cover end. The umbrella cover actually fell off with the string (might have been due to the weight and wind outside. What do i do? Is it possible to fix this patio umbrella? I just paid 400 dollars for mine and I literally just got it a week ago...
@ratemygadgets2 жыл бұрын
Difficult. Without seeing, then difficult to say BUT if you can tie a length of strong string to the end broken end then could work. Otherwise, need to rewire a new wire which, if anything like mine, would be difficult at the handle end. Hope works out.

@ratemygadgets4 жыл бұрын
It depends which knot. If the one that sits inside the plastic cap then few ideas. 1) get a blunt knitting needle or chop stick, try to stick it into where the knot ties round. 2) wet it, then try to manipulate 3) worse case, chop it off as close to knot as possible. You should have enough rope after. Hope helps. Please do subscribe as really helps.
