We found an old sunshade from garbage.
I had an idea of swinging it to fun!

H O W T O :
1. Rip off the fabric from the parasol.
2. Remove screws and all the excess materials,
2. Remove screws and all the excess materials,
you only need to have the wooden framework.
3. Screw a hook (solid) in the "root" of the parasol.
4. Take a tennisball and make a hole with a knife,
maybe 1 cm wide, that you can put a nail and the string
inside the ball.
5. Find a proper nail that fits in the ball well
(not too small, not too long :D),
hammer the sharp head a little,
so it won´t hurt anybody while playing.
6. Tie a thin but sustainable string tightly to the nail,
make few knots, tighten up well.
7. Push the nail&string inside the ball.
8. Attach the string with the ball to the hook on the parasol´s root.
It should be that long that it reaches the ground.
9. Open the parasol and place it on the ground upside down.
There you go, ready! It is easy to assemble/dissemble :D

P L A Y & H A V E F U N !
You can play this game alone or with a friend.
You can play it with tennis racket or with your bare hands.
We found old squash rackets from the fleamarket,
just perfect for this.

What to make of the fabric left over...
maybe cut it into carpet rags,
and make a carpet to your terrace :)
