Re purposing Sattelite Dish.

We are thinking of making one into a yard umbrella.
 So I went online, had a look, many cool uses.
Umbrellas, beds, swings, fishponds and other stuff.
 Anyone on here repurposed one ?

Btw its a 10 or 11 foot diameter one.

The best thing I ever did with one was to make it INVISIBLE, haha.
I was a satellite installation engineer back in the 90s and was asked to do an install on a listed building.
It was a several hundred year old thatched cottage and by law couldn't have anything done to change the looks of the cottage so the dish had to be invisible to onlookers.

This is the cottage.
