How to make a concrete parasol stand | DIY

I needed a stand for my parasol and have been wanting to experiment with concrete for a while. So I put two and two together and made a concrete parasol stand!

Great project, lets hope the summer is long and warm

[@christiemacdonald6721]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to come up with an idea for a base for poles for a very portable deer fence, so I will make my own pole bases, with a smaller version of what you made. And, totally worth it for the mallet head flying off, and you laughing :)

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Ellen! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Very cool project. I wish I had thought of doing something like this instead of buying one! Next time I will think more before buying!

[@octaviosa5052]

Excelente idea, muchas gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Guadalajara México.

[@KarolineHinz]

[@zyang3813]

A beautiful project and a handy lady.

[@petermiller6146]

Another great video and project!

[@NerdInventor]

That is such a great idea!

[@nickmac6859]

Thanks for sharing Ellen. Love your DIY style with sandals 😊 same as mine!

[@MakeBrooklyn]

Super cool, Just mix up a little concrete and math!! Great project for heading towards summer!!

[@evelyndamico1904]

Súper genial!! Me encanta!! Muchas gracias por compartir la idea. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@rezaperkasiana4539]

Very solid base that made the hammer felt apart...😀, a nice DIY

[@Henryvency]

very good Ellen!

[@reforzar]

I loled at the 🔨. Cool looking stand!

[@ellieboa]

it came out great!

[@christopherstrudwick]

awesome job we need something like this at my house been thinking of doing a similar thing and ive a bag of concrete in the shed

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Oooh do it!!

[@mrkijack]

Very nice! Thanks

[@Darsit_Shah]

Excellent work. really nice. I am going to make one of these. Will use more water in the concrete mix however and fix the pipe with wood so it can't move

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great video. Nice build and design. Mahalo for sharing. : )

[@generaldegree1732]

This is awesome

[@davebauerart]

Looks good!

[@chatkat9765]

great ideas, Thank You for sharing

[@sarathekanayake5550]

Wow!! It’s a great idea to make diy .umbrella stand.

[@AndyCPugh]

I love that you used a conical flask! I'm guessing that a mallet project might be on the cards soon.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

It's my very favourite flask 😁

[@TheGrantAlexander]

@@CraftsWithEllen hahaha, my favourite flask looks much different!

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

🔨👍😊

[@janverzee9423]

Goed idee om de strijkplank als werkbank te gebruiken 😉

[@FigmentsMade]

That looks like the perfect addition to your garden! I was waiting for you to paint your logo on it!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Thought the same thing, especially with the indentation!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I didn't want to make it a very obvious reference, but now I kinda want to paint my logo on the underside as a hidden feature 😄

[@FigmentsMade]

@@CraftsWithEllen Do it!!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

@@CraftsWithEllen Yea, to have it on the top might have been a little on the nose, but on the bottom would be perfect!

[@smgibv4393]

Mooie voeten. Geweldig.

[@krouzek88]

amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

I like your creative idea. I'm thinking of doing a square concrete base form with a longer pipe that can then be dropped into a square planter then add some pebble rocks, soil, flowers and my umbrella. This way if I ever want to remove the concrete base I could.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Great idea :D

[@JaredMize9]

Nice! Stay safe.....

[@yvesdelombaerde5909]

Un pied circulaire aurait été plus simple à déplacer, non? En l’inclinant, on peut le faire rouler sur lui-même. Bravo pour la débrouille!

[@alejandroortiz3485]

Gracias por el video hare uno igual. 🎉muchas GRACIAS por compartir

[@Invincible-km2yu]

Wow this is great. Wondering if I could make a similar one for a 3 Arm, 40 meter Rotary airer? Would it hold all the clothes firmly without tipping over to dry clothes outside on my patio?

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Nice, very Homemade Modern! Next video - rehandling a mallet... 😉

[@LuisRomero-uj4kh]

Excelente 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@GibClark]

Nice👍👍👍👍

[@jaredpatterson1701]

I want to make a hexagonal shaped weight plate for a barbell with a handle. I think it's better than circular ones

[@parsonsmark]

The problem I have is the wind. These store bought and home made bases will tip over in the wind. I'm still looking for a solution.

[@asukiWAN]

Do u think u could do this for a taller light pole? I'm debating on whether to use an X shaped wood base or a concrete base.

[@Sascha_LB]

Really a cool Projekt I may reproduce it. The "Mallet thing" makes me laugh. Thanks. I did not get the point why you wanted this inner hexagon. Is it for better ventilation or a better base for rough ground? I hope the stand will last because I missed some steel wires or steel mesh within the concrete. Thanks for showing Sascha

[@CraftsWithEllen]

It's both for stability on rough ground and for not squashing all the grass underneath :)

[@fauxgt]

very nice project, but i got a question: what exactly was the purpose of that inner hexagon?

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

Gosh I'm so late on reply, but guessing it's the same reason alot of circle bases are concave, it helps with leveling on a surface.

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Lovely project once again! One question, though....what were those odd scribbles you did on the paper? I'm assuming it has something to do with Egyptian hieroglyphics? Signed, #actualmoron

[@mommyj6586]

Great Idea! what is the weight of the concrete stand?

[@1246kenny]

At 445 you realize the bucket you mixed the concrete in would serve the same purpose

[@meravben-yehoyada4346]

How did you calculate the weight of the base for the parasol size?

[@seddypsp]

So you used 10.5l of concrete, right? How large is your umbrella and would you say that the weight of the concrete was enough, even on windy days?

[@empty384]

Bonito, tranks

[@xsteel3292]

How much does it end up weighing?

[@freetob1]

OH MY GOD, take quickcrete pore in a bucket or planter with the plant stand pipe in the center let dry

[@jonruehle9186]

Any idea on what it weighs?

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

FWIW: Saw THIS VIDEO and subbed...👍👍

[@Sami.curiouslab]

cool project and nicely executed ! But be aware of the tools that you use, I was cringing for the cutter and the circular saw... you could lose a finger

[@action963]

Your finished holder should have more width as this will help stop it falling over in wind.

[@jonphanspromotions]

well done my friend. I really like yours over others, however, you lost me with the math. :) If I do get an umbrella, I will borrow your design, if thats okay with you.

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Please do!

[@DrKuebel]

Ready for the summer! Jan // #DrKuebel

[@hixtershin5819]

what all name equipment

[@AtifKhan-ir7oe]

Nice, but I think that looks more like cement rather than concrete

[@erichbachinger943]

#universalcraftsandskillswithellen

[@cesarleal684]

I'd like to enjoy the weather with you sweetheart!!!

[@nodnodwinkwinkV]

Do you still use this stand? I'm wondering if it's actually heavy enough for that size parasol...

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I've used it all this time and it works great for this parasol. I wouldn't use it for the huge ones, those would need more weight, but for this one it's absolutely fine :)
