In a part of your yard lay a small (used) tire on a large piece of plywood that completely covers the tire hole, fill the tire with concrete. Take a 12" piece of pvc pipe slightly larger than the diameter of the umbrella and tape closed one end. Push the taped closed end into the still wet concrete until the pvc is half way submerged (at least 5 inches). This ghetto umbrella stand will last forever, is rain proof, semi portable, and can be a fun/easy DIY project for you and the kids. It is ugly, and when you sell the house it will go to the next homeowner (like me) who doesn't mind using your leftover ghetto umbrella stand!

It has been outside the whole time. Other than moldy fabric that is my fault, it functions as good as new.
I have never had an umbrella, including much more expensive ones, last more the two years until now.
In for 1 even though I don't need it now.
