Please help me with this parasol

kaji

I bought the incorrect parasol for an elderly relation and can't return it. It was supposed to be a full parasol but accidently bought a type of half parasol

This is the one I bought:
http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/90267575/

It says the pole diameter is 14mm. Is there anywhere I could buy a larger pole to put this one into but not too large so I can fit it into a parasol base (haven't bought one yet)? I'm a completely newbie with regards where to buy stuff so hopefully you Boardsies can help me out?

Why cant you return it? Have you got the receipt?

Can't return it as got it for them last summer but they only opened it a few weeks ago and receipt lost also. And Dublin IKEA is far away!

I reckon you can pick up a parasol base that will take the 14mm pole and some if not most bases come with an adapter ring. Go to your local garden centers and check out their parasol bases. It will be easier to find a base than to change the pole on the parasol.

Thanks, but the pole is too short. It's only about 3/4 foot tall.

you can pick up a replacement pole on ebay or amazon for not alot of money.
