4th of July Tube V1

A simple PVC pipe, Velcro, to attach an umbrella to a tube. The start of a very fun tradition.

Overview

In 2022, my friends and I decided to go to the Pueblo Reservoir for the 4th of July. We didn't know it, but this was going to end up being a tradition of ours.

Key Details

  • Simple Shade Umbrella fastened to tube via Velcro

Construction

The morning of, I stopped by Home Depot to pick up a few things for an idea I had. 10 minutes of tinkering in the parking lot and boom, my tube was shaded.

Chillin on the water

Little did I know that this would become an additional tradition of mine. Every year I would want to make the tube better than the last.
