First: 12" x 12" x 12" = 1,728 CUBIC inches. Sorry, calling that SQUARE inches had my left eye twitching. That was a great job. Planning ahead and placing bolts for the casters was a great job. Tell the wife *she* looks homemade, that's a legit project you can be proud of. Bonus points to you for keeping the rebar off the bottom of the forms. If I see one more YT video with the rebar left on the ground/bottom, imma snap.
That is awesome man! Naw to wife. Just cut the bolts so you can add a cap nut, sand the cement smooth and spray paint the tube. Then make these and sell them. I think it would look very nice. It looks nice now, but if you wanted it to look purdy! lol Thanks for the info man. Great video.
Thank you! To give you an update, it looks exactly the same now as it did in the video! Haha. Thank you again for the comment. Glad I could help. Please like and subscribe!
I really like your design. I am looking at scaling this up to 24x24x5.5. I have two umbrellas at my house in the outer banks. The wind blew one across the deck into the pool a couple of days ago.. It wasn't even open. Tied shut, the wind tossed it over with a normal 40 - 50 pound water base. So looking for lots more weight. Your design looks flexible and can be as heavy as needed. Love the Harbor Freight casters. :)
I've been making different umbrella stands inspired by TH-cam designs for years. This one is great, but the concrete will gouge my pool deck. I'm still looking for a heavy base design that won't damage my pool deck.
DUDE - I just found and subscribed to your channel. This stand is awesome. I'm going to make one of these and then build onto it. My plan is to make a 20x20x20 table out of cedar, and position it by the pool, between some chaise lounges. The cedar stained with Penofin Redwood will also match my Kamado grill table. Then I can roll it over to the grill as needed. The only problem is all that lumber and the conduit is EXPENSIVE. Over $300 all-in on this project. And I haven't even bought a welder yet! :) If I actually get it done, I'll send you some build pics. Thanks for a great video, and keep up the good work.
I wonder if you encased the entire concrete in wood if that would work the same and still dress it up. We attempted to make some with the casters underneath using a Walmart base to have starter weight and the sleeve didn't hold up. I love your idea of custom welding them. I'll have to show my husband.
Great project, thanks for sharing. A few questions and your thoughts. Casting with rounded corners would make it foot safer and less prone to chipping? A slight mound top finish to help water run off instead of pooling? Metal paint to stand holder before casting to limit rusting from atmosphere and the concrete itself? Small footer risers to help water and air flow under the concrete to dry faster? Drainage outlet in the holder? End bumper on tube opening to reduce damage to the umbrella pole? I'm just going off of my Costco umbrella the stand I'm trying to repair it. The welded mounting bolt inside the tube has come unattached and the footing flange has metal fatigue requiring it be cut off and a thicker steel piece welded.
Hey Dude. Nice project and well done video. I'm making some artificial fish habitat and need to pour a concrete base to anchor them when they are deployed. Hopefully I can use WD40 so that i can reuse use the forms multiple times.
Great question. Ive seen a lot of 2 inch thick pavers but haven’t seen a 3-1/2 inch thick by 24 x 24 inch paver. Not saying they don’t exist, just haven’t seen them. Also, they will not have the internal rebar which I added to this and also attached the studs for the wheel to. Without that, I believe, it would be a weaker build than what I did. If you’re able to find one and build it, let me know how it goes! Thank you for the question. Please like and subscribe.
I will do it a little heavier for stronger winds, a little taller and without the pipe but only the hole in the concrete, with another hole in the concrete from one side to the other, to pass a metal rod thru the whole block (I will have to drill a hole to the umbrella pipe too), and able to be moved without closing the umbrella, adding a handle on the wheels opposite side to tie a cord to pull it. Mine wont need any welding at all; it can be done with bolts instead of welding.
👍🏻 Bravo ! I want to make a similar. Question though… my umbrella is a “hanging one on the side” which means I have to have pretty heavy foot. Since the weight is on the side more… how wide does the bottom need to be? The original foot is like 94 x 94 cm and if I do similar to yours the footprint is smaller. What do you think? They recommend at least 50-65 kg of weight. Also I’d really like to have wheels on the bottom I think.. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Great question. I would build it larger and heavier than what is recommended to safely secure the umbrella from falling over. Hope this helps. Thank you

☝🏻If you drilled slightly bigger holes for the bolts and then put silicone around them you could pour the concrete and then instead of having to chip off the wood , you could just slide it off!
Great plan and execution however I'm total with your wife on the final look of the product. The moment you poured the concrete and hammered the frame, I was wishing if you had some cracked tiles to add a top layer for decoration or better, had a stamp pattern for the sides and top to make it look like whatever you prefer. Nevertheless Solid great job.
I know what you’re saying but there are ways to work around that. Instead of welding the rebar together, you can tie it with wire. Also, instead of welding the nuts onto the conduit, you could get some thicker wall tubing and then drill and tap it which I think would give a cleaner look. You could cut everything with a hacksaw and a wood saw. If you do it that way, you would need a drill, drill bit, wire cutter, hacksaw, wood saw and tape measure and bucket. Theres always another way. Hope this helps. Thank you for the comment. Please like and subscribe.

Thank you. Im not a fan of the rebar on the ground too. Even Welded Wire Fabric Ill lift up. Thanks for watching!
WHAT A GENIUS IDEA!!!
Thank you and thank you for watching!

a heavy base design that won't damage my pool deck.
@parsonsmark that does present some issues. Could you pour something like in the video then encase it in wood?
Love this idea, will try to make this myself as well.
Thank you and that’s awesome! Let me know how it turns out
Idea and Design is nice, I would add some pebbles on top of concrete just for beauty
That would add a cool look to the top. Thank you for watching.
Yes perfect exactly what I needed to know
Glad I could help. Thank you!

That sounds awesome! Cant wait to see it done. And things are expensive! Thanks for the sub!

The one I built is still working great! Thank you! Please let me know how yours comes out!

All sound great! Definitely good features to add. Let me know how the build goes! Thank you
Lol... that’s an absolutely a great idea 💡
Thank you! It did turn out pretty good. Thank you again for the comment.
Woah just what I was looking for lol
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thank you!

Should work for what you want it to. Thank you for the comment!
exa tly what I was looking for.
Great! Thank you!
Nice I do the same math calculating speaker box air space lol
Hey Matt, why not just buy a Paver stone at home depot and attach what needs to be attached?

thanks dude
No problem. Glad I could help. Thank you!
Or find a comp U/ squared bolt clamp for wheel bolts
That would definitely help if you can find a ubolt the exact dimensions you need.
👍🏻
Bravo !

More prep than SpaceX 😂
T minus 6 Days!
ok I flunk math
Cheap but the tools is not.
