Cheapest DIY umbrella base under $30

I was looking for an umbrella base but I didn’t want to pay $130 or 200 for a base. I found this option affordable and not bad looking. You can find the items in Home Depot or any similar store.

They are concrete deck blocks. There are many variations, styles, sizes. Some have a hole in the middle some do not.

Thank you for making this Video, this is smart! I just bought a beach umbrella from costco for only $25, without a base, so I can't use it in my yard. I will try your way, where did you find that block with a hole can fit that PVC pipe?

杀死比尔 Homedepot and Lowe’s, also the pipe 👍🏽

not to hot here in Indiana I'm a see if I can go to Menards and see if they have something similar this idea is better than r cement mix and having to mix all that

[@johnniepegues305]

You can also add a planter marbles for sand or Rock put that cement piece down into the planter

I went to Home Depot - they had that block, but no hole at all in the middle. Did you make the hole yourself?

[@edwardvargasperez3545]

It came with the hole.

[@MsTygame]

What size pvc pipe did you use? It’s usually printed on it.

[@MsTygame]

Sorry I just saw you measure it at 2”.

[@tedcat117]

How did you drill the hole?

[@edwardvargasperez3545]

Ted Kumagai it comes with the hole. You can buy it at Home Depot or Lowe’s
