Want to place an umbrella in your yard? Don't want to pay over $100 bucks for an umbrella stand???? Watch this video! I show you how I built a concrete umbrella stand with wheels for wayyyyy under $100 bucks!!! In this video I demonstrate how to figure out form size in order to make a 70 to 75 pound concrete stand. I also go into detail about the steps I took to build this concrete umbrella stand including materials needed and how I reinforced and colored the concrete. This was a easy project which could be completed in a weekend (need two to three days to allow the concrete to dry). I also show what happens when you place the wheels too close to the edge of the concrete (note: this is the second umbrella stand build haha)

Materials Used:

(4) 3 Inch Polyurethane Rigid Caster
(18 inches) 1-1/2 Inch Rigid Conduit
(1) 8 foot 2 x 4
(8) 2-1/2 wood screws
(12) 1 inch wood screws
20 inch by 20 inch 1/4 inch plywood (minimal dimension)
(1) 80 lb bag of concrete mix
Concrete coloring (optional)
7’ of 1/4 rebar
(2) 3/8 inch nuts
(2) Star Knobs with 3/8 inch thread
