Making a few measurements to fix our beach umbrella
Posted By RichC on November 17, 2024
On our recent trip to Florida, we saw stronger than usual winds on the beach most of the trip. Unfortunately the excellent BeachBub umbrella broke, although I’m unsure it was due to the stronger wind (but likely).
I’ve written an email to the company just to see if there is a new “frame” part even though it does not look easily replaceable. Suspect I’ll need to at least buy a new frame … but that part is not cheap.
I’ve taken a few measurement to see if perhaps I can make a part that might work to replace the hinged piece and strut (see photo right), but not sure if will be worth it? We have used it a lot and we are very happy with the design to replace the entire umbrella if necessary. Plenty of time before our next trip to decide on what to do, but don’t want to haul it on a plane as it does look as if this part “could” break easily if handled roughly.
