An outdoor umbrella is a great way to add a little shade to your outdoor space. However, if you don’t have a built-in umbrella stand, you may be struggling to figure out how to keep your umbrella from blowing away.
An umbrella stand is a great way to keep your umbrella in place, but it can be pricey. Fortunately, you can make your own umbrella stand with a few simple materials and a little creativity.
Here are 18 DIY umbrella stand outdoor ideas that you can use to make your own stand.
1. A planter umbrella stand
This DIY umbrella stand also doubles as a planter. It’s a great way to add some color and greenery to your outdoor space while also providing support for your umbrella. Plus, the weight of the planter will help keep your umbrella from blowing away.
To make this project, you’ll need a large planter, a piece of PVC pipe, and some concrete. You’ll also need a drill and a few other basic tools.
2. A concrete umbrella stand
This is a great project to make use of any leftover concrete you might have from another project. You can also buy a small bag of concrete at the hardware store for less than $5.
The concrete gives the stand a modern look and makes it heavy enough to withstand the wind. You can also add a pretty design to the top of the stand by using a silicone mold.
3. A wooden umbrella stand
This DIY umbrella stand is made from a wooden planter and a 5-gallon bucket. You can find a wooden planter at your local home improvement store, or you can make your own.
The planter is filled with concrete to give it weight and stability. Then, the bucket is placed inside the planter and filled with more concrete to secure the umbrella.
The planter is then sealed and painted with an exterior paint to protect it from the elements. You can choose any color you like, or you can leave it natural for a more rustic look.
4. A PVC pipe umbrella stand
This is a great idea if you are looking for a more affordable option. You can use a PVC pipe to make a base for your umbrella. This stand is very similar to the wood stand, but it is much cheaper and lighter.
You can also decorate the PVC stand to match your outdoor decor and paint it to look like stone. This is a great option if you want something affordable but still want to make it look nice.
5. A barrel umbrella stand
Old barrels can be repurposed in so many ways. This is a great idea to keep an old barrel out of the landfill and give your patio a unique look at the same time.
You can use the barrel as is or cut it in half and mount it to a wall. We added a piece of wood on top and a planter box on the bottom for a fun, rustic look. You can paint the barrel, wood, and planter box any color to match your patio decor.
6. A metal umbrella stand
This metal umbrella stand from My Sweet Savannah is a beautiful addition to a patio. Metal is a great choice for an outdoor umbrella stand because it’s durable and won’t rust. I love the sleek, modern design of this stand and the fact that it’s made from a few basic materials.
If you have some metalworking experience, you can make a stand like this one for your patio. If not, you can always take the design to a professional and have them build it for you.
7. A portable umbrella stand
If you like the idea of a heavy-duty umbrella stand but don’t want it to be permanent, this is the perfect project for you. This DIY umbrella stand is made from a large planter and filled with cement. Then, a rolling plant stand is added to the bottom to make it easy to move.
I love how this project is so simple to make, but it’s also really functional. You can move your umbrella around your patio to provide shade wherever you need it. Plus, the rolling plant stand means you won’t have to lift a heavy umbrella stand.

The weight is made from a 12”x12” piece of concrete that’s 2” thick. The concrete weight is attached to the bottom piece of the base using a 2×4 that’s cut to the same size as the concrete piece.
The top piece is attached to the bottom piece using a 2×4 that’s cut to the same length as the top piece. The 2×4 is attached to the top piece using screws.
