Umbrella Sleeves

[us3]

We are owner/builders and getting ready to have our decking done and wondered if anyone has bought their own sleeves to have installed. Will this save us any money and where might we find them?
The decking companies are chargin anywhere from $25-35 per sleeve.

TIA~

Make sure the umbrella sleeve will fit the umbrella you have picked out. Some companies will just put pvc pipe in the concrete. Its nice to have one with a flush top or cap. Some manufactures of anchors are SR Smith, WaterWay Plastics and Standard Bronze Co. If you pick a metal anchor and its within 5' of the pool make sure its connected to the bonding grid (check your local codes). If the anchors they are going to put in are to your likeing you should let them supply and install them. Hope this helps
