Hi all,
I have a couple of sunbrella holders (sleeves) in our pool, which is built in the concrete. The model is Aquastar US101, and the inner diameter of the sleeve is 1 5/8. Now, most umbrellas the pole is 1.5", which I am afraid will be very wobbly and perhaps damage the sleeve (which is made of plastic). So in stead of being creative with some duct tape, as other have suggested, to increase the diameter, to make a snug fit, I was wondering if you know where to buy an umbrella with a 1 5/8 pole? And yes I have used Google very much, and all poles are 1.5". My alternative is to buy a carbon or glass fiber pole with OD of 1 5/8 and make is myself, since I would not like a metal product in the pool water. The problem then is the "upper part" of the umbrella, which will still be 1.5".
Thoughts and suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks.
