How does one accumulate three metal umbrella stands yet have one lone patio umbrella? It was time to either call in for a donation pickup, or get crafty. Of course, DIY was the path we chose! Using a rusted metal umbrella stand and some galvanized pipe sections, we created the perfect side table to place a cold glass of summertime lemonade!
Be sure to purchase galvanized pipe fittings that fit into the umbrella stand. Insert the various pipe fittings into the umbrella base, using a rubber mallet to ensure proper fit.
On top of pipe section, insert pipe bushing fitting.
With the base built, give it a coat of spray paint. Once dry, give the base a coat of polyurethane spray.
Next, paint and/or stain the wooden table top. Once that is complete, give that a coat (or two) of polyurethane spray.
Use a bonding glue to secure the wooden table top onto the pipe bushing fitting. Come see how this easy umbrella patio side table turned out. It's the perfect place for a glass of cold lemonade!
For another great re-purpose, check out how we used spray paint and laminated cotton fabric to turn a vintage vanity stool into a cute chair for a child's desk.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Really great idea! But I'm wondering why you didn't screw the table top to the base instead of just gluing it?
How did you get rid of rust from stand.
Can I do this with a lamp stand
