Need help to find Parasol bases

**the 12 th man** · 23/09/2006, 8:51 AM

Those hard plastic ones about 18 inches in diameter (preferably white but would take green).I need aprox 50-200.
I've tried numerous websites and phoned loads of hardware stores without success.
I'm hoping someone that posts here might work somewhere that might have them in stock or be able to order them for me.

Leinster area if I had to collect them but would consider anywhere if they
could deliver.

Thanks in advance.

It's a new plan to double Kilkenny City attendances. Buy a parosol base, a stick and a cardboard cut out and you have yourself a fan

Not just make them?

Buy a flat basin place a black plastic bag onto the base fill it with concrete mix place plastic beaker in centre. Let is set flip it over and waalaa Instant made to fit parasol base that costs about �3 instead of �40 or 50 in B and Q. Some conrete mixes take an hour to set throw in a few rocks to fill up and weight the mix.

With 5 basins few mates bag of cans , could make 25 in 10 hours. Can paint them for desired effect too.
