Need to replace patio umbrella canopy

17 years ago

Has anyone sewn their replacement patio umbrella fabric? It's almost cheaper to throw out the hardware and buy a new umbrella. I'm not sure I can tell the difference between the several hundred $ umbrellas and the $70 or $100 umbrellas so I usually buy the ones on sale. After a couple of years they wear out or look worn out and I would like to sew replacements. I suppose I could just take one apart and use it as a pattern but has anyone done that and what are the problems other than they are very dusty and not lend themselves to washing without falling completely apart. That's the main problem I imagine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
