Title: metal stands for umbrellas ?
Post by: patch on April 30, 2009, 17:58:06 PM

does anyone know where i can buy metal stands for large umbrellas ( round swimming pool) we have had trouble with the plastic bases (you can fill with water)cracking and perishing with the sun , any ideas and prices would be appreciated.

Plenty of wrought iron shops about that would make you one if you took the design to them.

Try Ramazan opposite the citroen showroom in Fethiye ,speaks perfect English so easy to barter with.
