re: Umbrella table

Yep, I have the big umbrella curse hanging over me. Hand held ones I do fine. The big pups just go blowing away, and usually right at the house, broken windows, all kinds of damage. I gave up on the umbrella. At the current place we have an awning over the entire back porch, it has slats that open and close with an electric motor. Best thing, is it's rated to 220 MPH. If it's worse than that, it's a tornado, and all bets are off anyhow. We've had it 11 years, no issues. Neighbor wanted a table, and umbrella like yours. I helped him build it, he's had it 7 years, no issues. It's just me, cursed. :-(
