I have an offset umbrella and there is about a 3 foot pole on the base which the umbrella slides into. When I was rotating the umbrella last season the bottom pole piece twisted and sheared the metal and is damaged beyond repair. Im just looking to get another bottom pole piece. This umbrella was purchased at Cost cutters which is now out of business and had a base with two pieces of metal in a perpendicular cross on the floor. It would be a shame to throw the whole thing out because of the bottom pole but I'm afraid I might have to.
