Introduzione

Umbrellas are a basic tool that most people need in their everyday lives. They get damaged from continuous use or from getting snagged on something sharp during use or transport. Instead of repeatedly buying new ones, we suggest that you fix your old umbrella, as the process is simple and can be done by someone with little to no experience. This guide will show users how to repair a tear in an umbrella by mending it with a needle and thread and reinforcing it with a fabric patch.

  1. fOCENWUFOM6vM34P

    • Remove the fabric from the extender arms of your umbrella.

    • This allows you to more easily work with the torn area, as the fabric won't be held tightly.

  2. 1aYAOiYGtIXWpcWC

    • Sew the tear together from the back side of the umbrella using your needle and nylon thread.

    • Be sure to use a thin gauge nylon thread, as cotton threads will soak through and cause leaks in your canopy.

  3. cYfBpsdLHaYqCal5

    • Cut your patch to an appropriate size relative to the tear.

    • The size of your patch should be big enough to completely cover the tear, with around an inch of additional material on all sides.

  4. UABf3S41HIRVNxGg

    • Apply your fabric glue to the backside of your patch material.

  5. xE2ROBTLNT2IRWMS

    • Lay the torn area of the fabric on a flat surface.

  6. NOoN4yYIuBfnPsqW

    • Apply your patch squarely over the torn fabric.

Conclusione

To reassemble your umbrella, reattach the fabric to the rivets that you disconnected it from.
