Step 11Fasten the umbrella
It is time to fasten the umbrella frame onto the extended drive shaft.
Simple lower the bottom part onto the shaft and don't worry about securing it for now (it will be held in place later by zip ties).
Bring the top part of the frame near the top part of the shaft and drill completely through both the top bracket and the shaft. Insert a metal pin through this hole and bend it to lock the top in place. If the top is loose, you can insert a rubber O-ring to solve this problem.
For my pin, I sawed in half one of those "dangly bits" from the last step, inserted it through the hole and bent it upwards. This worked great.
