Have a heavy iron patio set with an umbrella stand that weighs 30 pounds. Problem: when it is a little breezy the umbrella tips the table over. The umbrella is secured properly and the table is on a flat even surface. Any ideas before my glass table is ruined?

How is the umbrella secured? The base should be heavy enough to prevent that. In any case, you could try some heavy duty tent stakes at each table leg to see if that helps. Or, depending on how the base is made, you could either add addition weight to it. I'm assuming since the patio is on grass you move it often? If not, you could pour a concrete footing under the base, and attach it that way.

For a deck, I am looking for a patio table that is small but is able to put in one or two extensions in for company.
I have not seen one.

There is one called a butterfly table that is wooden. The leaf is folded in under the table.

I am sure there are others, not cheap, but available.
I saw one at Lowes last weekend, but couldn't find it on their site.

Please suggest plaster/cement compound to create an outdoor mosiac table. Have a rot iron patio table would like to make into mosiac. Thanks.

IF for outside, purchase: Thin set mortar, enough tile board (cement, 1/2" thick) to cover twice...hopefully without seams. (comes 3'X5' pieces). Cut and shape one layer of tile board to table top, wire in place with heavy wire to wrought iron table. (You can use construction cement on the table where applicable before wiring to table...make sure you have hosed down the board to get rid of dust, then dry completely). Mix up some thin set and apply a 2nd layer of tile board. You are now ready to apply mosaic tile...cut, fit, set in thin set. The edges will be the hardest, if you do not use preformed counter edging. Once fully set (about 2-3 days,) grout, wipe, and you are finished. Do not try to lay anything over plywood of any kind for outdoors...it will not stand up over time. Remember, the "backer board" is not that durable to lifting by its edges, so take care. Use a glass cutter to score and break the ceramic tile to fit. Good luck. Goldwing
