We then screwed a 2-hole pipe strap/clamp to the side of the top railing. You set the umbrella against the railing, then screw the clamp around it. Usually we can loosen just one side and slide the pole out when we need to put it away and the clamp stays in place until the following year. <br /><br />You can even get pipe clamps that are lined with felt if you're worried about scratching the pole. Neat, right?Barb @ Turtles and Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090621897170390783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851595464691686013.post-54870142234664044362013-11-30T13:05:11.392-05:002013-11-30T13:05:11.392-05:00Hi Barb - I know this isn't a recent post, but...Hi Barb - I know this isn't a recent post, but I just stumbled across it. I actually have a non-furniture question (although you did a great job with the refinishing and they look amazing!!): how do you have that umbrella attached to your fence post? Something similar would work wonders on a spot in our yard, and I was curious about it. :-) Thanks!Juj312https://www.blogger.com/profile/04101782747239756377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851595464691686013.post-56260336670996280932013-11-30T13:04:41.895-05:002013-11-30T13:04:41.895-05:00Hi Barb - I know this isn't a recent post, bu...Hi Barb - I know this isn't a recent post, but I just stumbled across it.

I didn't make those - I bought them from our local grocery store, The Superstore (Real Canadian Superstore). <br /><br />I'm not sure if you're in Canada, or near the border, but all of the stores carry the same items.<br /><br />If you mean the green striped pillows from the before shot - I made those ones using teatowels from the dollar store.
