Last yr. I burnt my ears and thinning scalp. Not a fun thing to do. I have been pricing them and the range is from $120 up. Isn't there some universal umbrella available for around $50 - $70
Thanks,
ShepFL

Shep,
My experience with umbrellas is that they are nothing more than a bug attractor. I would recommend getting a straw hat and sitting out in the open. At least that way you won't be a walking welt at the end of the day.

Hey Shep, just courious, where abouts in Fl. are you. I was born & raised in pinellas park. Moved out here to ca in 84'. Man I will never forget how hot it would get back there. I used to finish crete. I would go thru a gallon of ice tea b/4 noon. Good Luck on the umbrella bud! Steve

I am a transplant from Idaho. Came to FL in the service and stayed on. I live in N. FL outside of Jacksonville in a small town West of Jax. I am fortunate as there always a small breeze. It does not get as hot here as in Pinellas area. My sister-in-law lives in St. Pete Bch and I loathe going there. To many people and always HOT. I think it is approx. 10-15 degrees hotter down there with about the same humidity.

I will check Agri-Supply for umbrella per Jerry's continued recommendation.

Thanks again. I never thought to check Agri-Supply. I always viewed them as tillage supplier as this is where I have gotten shins, disks etc.

This is who I was looking at when I posted my request. If the rig was going to be a show rig I would consider it. Given it is a daily driver in the piney woods I was looking for an alternative. I am sure it will suffer some damage along the way (tree limbs) so I did not want an expensive umbrella. Thanks just the same. I am going to check with Agri-Supply.

I just saw umbrella's at Tractor Supply for about $79.00. Bracket and canvas. I am not sure if TSC is nationwide though. I have one of these universal kits and it works and looks good.
