SPARKWHIZ Hitch Umbrella Mount for 2" Receiver — 35" Offset Powder-Coated Steel, Fits 1-3/8"–2" Poles

The SPARKWHIZ Hitch Umbrella Holder Mount is a sturdy, powder-coated steel bracket that fits 2" receiver hitches to hold umbrellas securely for tailgates, beaches, campsites, and more.

Take shade with you instead of hunting for it. This mount converts a standard 2" trailer receiver into a stable umbrella station with a 35" offset so the canopy clears tailgates and truck beds. Built for outdoor use, the bracket accepts umbrella poles from 1-3/8" up to 2" and locks in place with two adjustable thumbscrews, giving a balance of firm hold and quick setup.

How does the SPARKWHIZ mount attach to a 2" hitch?

Installation is straightforward: slide the square stock into a 2" receiver and secure it with a 5/8" hitch pin (not included). The mounting design keeps the umbrella away from the vehicle while providing a stable pivot point for shade placement.

• Fits standard 2" receiver hitches used on most trucks and SUVs
• Secures with a 5/8" hitch pin for robust attachment
• 35" extension from the hitch pin to position shade over beds or tailgates
• Works whether tailgate or hatch is up or down for flexible setup

What umbrellas and pole sizes are compatible with the holder?

The holder accepts common umbrella pole diameters ranging from 1-3/8" to 2", covering most beach, market, and patio umbrellas. Two thumbscrews tighten the clamp around the pole so different brands and pole thicknesses fit snugly without slipping.

• Compatible with 1-3/8" to 2" umbrella poles
• Dual adjustable thumbscrews provide even clamping pressure
• Works with both straight and slightly tapered poles when tightened properly

How durable is the SPARKWHIZ hitch umbrella mount for outdoor use?

Constructed from heavy-duty steel and finished with a protective powder coat, the mount resists rust and stands up to repeated outdoor use. The materials and hardware were chosen to handle exposure to sun, salt air, and the occasional splash, while remaining low-maintenance.

• Powder-coated steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Sturdy welds and thick tubing for long-lasting support
• Thumbscrews designed for quick hand adjustments without tools

How stable will my umbrella be in breezy conditions?

While no umbrella mount can guarantee zero movement in high winds, the SPARKWHIZ holder increases stability by clamping the pole with two thumbscrews and keeping the umbrella centered over a solid hitch point. Positioning the pole near the receiver and angling the canopy into the wind reduces flapping.

• Two thumbscrews lock the pole to minimize rotation and slippage
• 35" offset helps keep the center of pressure close to the vehicle for better balance
• Recommended to lower canopy angle or take down umbrella in strong gusts

Who this is for: the SPARKWHIZ Hitch Umbrella Holder Mount is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who want reliable, portable shade—tailgaters, campers, anglers, beachgoers, and anyone who uses pickup beds or hitch-mounted accessories. If you need a simple, rugged way to mount an umbrella to a vehicle hitch for temporary shade, this mount delivers quick installation, broad compatibility, and weather-resistant construction.
