"Satellite Dish" Umbrella Makes Great Conversation Piece 23-1-19 "After we got cable TV we didn't need our satellite dish any more. We decided to turn it into a 10-ft. dia. umbrella in our back yard," says Herman Ulrich, Lampman, Sask.
Ulrich removed the dish from its original mounting pipe and bolted a 2 1/2-ft. length of 1 1/2-in. dia. pipe to the top of the original pipe. Then he turned the dish upside down and bolted it on top.
"It provides a lot of shade and makes a great conversation piece. People get a good laugh out of it," says Ulrich. "My daughter got the idea for it one day when we had company. I wasn't using the dish any more and was going to get rid of it when she mentioned that it looked like an umbrella. I plan to attach a round table to the base of the dish."
