The Versatile Umbrella Stand Caddy
Because her deck sits in the hottest part of her yard, she needed a smart sun protection fix. She set up a simple patio table umbrella in a heavy stand, but she didn’t stop there. She shared a brilliant hack by sliding a classic kitchen Bundt pan with a central hole right over the umbrella stand’s bottom post.
By adding this simple pan, she created an instant, incredibly accessible outdoor shelf right beside her hot tub. She demonstrated how versatile this setup is by filling her pan with sunscreen and pool chemicals. Alternatively, she loves to pack the Bundt pan with fresh ice cubes to create an instant mini-bar or a handy soda cooler for refreshing afternoon lounging.
