Repair Umbrella 2025/7/9

One of the umbrella plastic frame was broken. Above picture showed after it’s repaired.

Position where the plastic frame was broken. Obviously, can’t find any replacement part.

Repair method: cut an aluminum piece from a drink can. Bend the aluminum into frame shape, lock with a hole on one end and friction grip the other end. Wrapping with aluminum tape.

Repair version one wasn’t effective by using cable ties and metal wiring. The umbrella frame sagged down and clothing profile don’t look good. Took a while thinking how best repair method version two. Using aluminum plate cutter from can drink container.
