Preventing umbrella launch

If any of you ever use a umbrella for shade without securing it you probably had to chase it down. Twice for me!
I used Clevis pins in my rod holder to secure mine. Simple and works.
NOTE: if your umbrella tilts make sure you orient the holes so it tilts over you.
Tractor supply has a good selection of smaller pins so you don't need a large hole in your umbrella pole. Attachment 377786Attachment 377787Attachment 377788Attachment 377789

Never thought of those clevis pins. Always used 1/4 X 20bolt and win nut. The pin sounds better. Thanks for sharing.:)

Now thats a great idea ! will modify mine very soon.
