I'm in the process of building this contrapction that will be the ultimate car meet accessory and avoid getting burned...hehe

(short of putting the top up which I hate doing)

I always see them around but now that I want to buy a quality one, can't find it anywhere.

MUST be 62" or larger and have a WOODEN handle


I will post pics of my creation later when I build this

A golf/sporting good store such as Golfsmith, Sport Chalet, Big 5. Even Costco carries some from time to time.

I seen costco had a huge one. I don't know if they still do though. But how would you take it with you?

nm. I know the answer: Topdown
I feel like a noob.

No the COSTCO one is actually 72" which is too big - those are meant for the beach but I need a 62" golf umbrella.

thanks Voo - I already checked Big5 and Sports Chalet. I will check Golfsmith and Walmart/Target.

Too much sun at the BOS meet, Rick?

Yea I was toasted but actually this is an idea that I've been toying with for quite some time (ever since the Auto Innovations BBQ)

The umbrella must have a wooden handle btw. Will do some poking around when I get back from Vegas.

well I'm interested to see what this turns into. The price of 62" umbrellas was surprising.

Is this for in or outside the car?

Rick check sport brella might work for your needs.

ok I put my contraption together and it looks pretty cool!

I'll probably get my first test of this thing at the F N C meet but will snap a few shots. Most of the parts required are cheap except the professional dent suction cup which was like $50 bucks.

Everything else is just hardware store items and some abs plastic.
