Cheapest DIY umbrella base under $30 

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

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

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

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?

Thank you

How wide is your pole? Because u said the pvc pipe is 2 inches,cuz I want to do the same

Good idea

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

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

How did it hold up over time?

How did you drill the hole?

What type of brick is it?

i kept watching to see when he was going to crush his toes. not a good safety example.

what size pipe did you use?

Haven’t seen a block like that here in the southern US with a round hole :/ great idea though
