    Default Umbrella sleeves/patio holes

    Today, we had holes drilled and umbrella sleeves placed within holes with caps for when not in use. The top of the cap is so small our umbrella won't fit into it. The top cap will pop off somwe can then insert the umbrella but it wobbles to and fro. The company doing the work charged $100 per hole and dont have smaller sleeves so now what?

    Maybe wrap some masking tape aroung the umbrella shaft just below the deck surface so it will fit snug.

    Regarding your holes, there's a fair chance you can find some sort of pipe that would fit inside your existing holes, but would fit the umbrella.

    If you can supply measurements of the hole ID and the umbrella tubing OD, I can probably make some suggestions (I was a plumber, so I'm familiar with many sorts of pipe and tubing.)
