Would it be possible to add an umbrella to this through a hole in the middle? If so, anyone willing to tell me how to do it?

Sure, just build it as you normally would then after completed take the correct sized hole saw or paddel bit needed for the diameter of the umbrella pole and drill the hole. Just make sure when you place the center cross brace or two leg braces that they are not in the way of the hole in the center.

Yes. You may need to purchase a hole-saw for the size of your umbrella pole. They often come as a set of bits that work with a standard drill - but they're not expensive. First - make sure that there are no brackets in the path of the hole. You can make the hole a little off center if necessary.

Yes, you can add a umbrella to the center of the table if you install the 2X4 cross brace called for in instructions.however, the umbrella would require a ground footing in order that it is anchored by the table and at the floor or ground. A small bucket 6" tall and 9" wide at the top filled with sand would do the job if you are using in on a patio like I am. If you are using it in a grassy area you could dig a hole for umbrella shaft

I would suggest get the umbrella kit, drill hole in center board and attach a bracket that should be in the kit

It absolutely is possible. If you have a drill and round saw bits. You can cut a hole in the center of the table, making certain you're cutting through the middle of the support beam underneath as well. To offset the cut would weaken the support beam. Of course your umbrella would need to be weighted under the table so it doesn't catch a wind and fly off. :). Also, the 2x10 option would be the best bet when adding the umbrella. The larger wood offers more support when your cutting a hole in the center.

Sure you could. Just use a hole saw to make the hole whatever diameter you need for the umbrella. (Drill bits would work too but not as clean)

Yes my table came with a hole in the center for an umbrella but it has a plug you can put in it also

Hi. There is a hole for the umbrella. Is a very nice set and color is beautiful, you will like it.

Yes. There is a hole in the middle for an umbrella and enough room for a stand underneath.

Hi Karen, I know what you mean. I need a top for mine which they don't make for the 8 panel size. I used an old patio umbrella with the pole cut off and lashed the bottom of the umbrella to the top of the panels with those little plastic connector ties from the hardware store. Now it looks like a little circus tent and stays in the right shape! I've gotten lots of complements on it. Hope this helps. Barbara

Yes, you can, but there is only a drain plug on the 'water side'. What I do is drain the side with the plug and then just tip it to empty the rest. With water in both sides, you could just tip the whole thing sideways to empty, but the weight would put a strain on the legs that may cause them to give way if you aren't careful. When the side with the drain is emptied first, it is light enough to tip easily without straining the legs. I don't know what poster is talking about with respect to drilling your own holes, we didn't encounter any such issue with ours. For the price, it is in my opinion the best deal on a water/sand table out there. The quality is great, the umbrella is much larger than I expected so it provides great shade, and my grandkids love it!

As others have noted, no umbrella hole. Also, the table is light weight, so I don't think it could support an umbrella. I bought it for it's lightness and ease in moving around the patio. Very happy with it.

I already answered your question but you got me thinking. I used a long PVC pipe I had from left over sprinkler project. I placed it inside the cover and extended it into the air to the top of my umbrella that's attached to my patio table, it was a tiny bit tricky at first, but it worked! ;)

There is an umbrella styled center post with radiating spokes just like an umbrella. If you did that it could definitely not be centered which means it would not project the light evenly. Also if you mounted it with the light pointing toward the silver inside lining of the umbrella ( towards the back) you 1) would block the returning light and 2) have nowhere to mount it. And you can't mount it on the back facing out because of the radiating spokes from the center. So no, I don't think so.

Yes, there is a hole for the umbrella. I have not purchased the umbrella, but we love the table.

absolutely - the x cross bars of that umbrella will be under the stand, and the stand gets filled with sand (use two 25# bags) for stability. SO, be sure you have it where you want it - moving it once filled with sand is IMPOSSIBLE. :-)

Umbrella post goes through the hole under the socket, is the post on the umbrella too large for the hole???

Yes, there is a hold for an umbrella in the center of the table. However, since it is a lightweight table the umbrella would need to be stabilized in some way.

No.....there are no extra holes or good places to clamp an umbrella that I can think of. It is small enough to move or put underneath a patio umbrella.

Yes, you'll need to get a base for the umbrella. It seems Amazon sells everything, maybe they have them.

I have one of these and there is no umbrella hole. There is a large hole where the firebowl sits and you can cover that with a cast iron cover which looks like the rest of table top. The cover has a ball-shaped hand hold on top which looks somewhat like a hole in the picture but isn't.
