Abstract

A base used to support an overhead pole and canopy or umbrella. The base has a strong lower magnet and two spaced vertical members each of which has a plurality of pin positioning and retaining holes. A pivotally connected support arm is positioned between the vertical members and pivotally attached to the base at its lower end. A pole with a canopy may be mounted on the support arm's other upper end and oriented at a desired angle by inserting a pin into a positioning hole. A flexible gooseneck is provided in the pole's segments to join them together and permit added angular adjustments to the mounted attached canopy.
