We have a non-tilting umbrella on our deck and it seems
like a simple task to add the tilt joint and make SWMBO
happy. I did a google search and came up with nothing.
Anybody know where I can find these? I would think they
must be available as a repair part.

TIA

Thanks for the link. I gave them a call and unfortunately
they don't have any joints for wooden poles (which I
neglected to mention in my original post).

I think I may have found one link (I'm in the same boat as you...
searching with every term and synonym I can think of). Not easy to find,
and many posts showing "... they jsut want you to replace the umbrella.."
So, found your post too - and have a new(er) umbrella - wood, with no
tilt joint. didn't realize how much I wanted that feature when the sun is
low.

Finally hit this link:
http://www.servicesupportlink.com/umbrella-parts.html not sure how valid
it is or how well it'll work, but thougth I'd share since it's the only
thing I've found!

When I can't find a specific product, I often go to ThomasNet.com and find a manufacturer... on their home page, you type in the main item (patio umbrellas).

You might be able to buy a part, direct, from the manufacturer or find out who their outlets dealers are and special order the part. Here are ThomasNet's list of manufacturers.... Anova Furnishings, Inc., Saint Louis, MO looks promising.

Maybe contact several of the listings and see what might be available to you, directly.

Who is your umbrellas maker, its manufacturer... does your umbrella have a makers tag? Maybe you can find and contact them, directly, from the above listing.

I'd try yard sales and take one off a crappy umbrella
Even this place sells poles, but not the tilt joint

Can't find the original message, but I have a free tilt mechanism I
removed from my old umbrella.

so how is it working out for you?
where did you make the cut?
how does the mechanism work ( push button)?

It came off my store-bought umbrella which I no longer needed. It is
push button, was situated about 1/3 of the way from the top. It fits
into a 1 7/16" diameter socket with a side screw to hold it in place.
It might not work for your umbrella, but the price is right.

Buy an umbrella and cut it out?

These seem to be pretty specific to the particular umbrella so aren't
likely available individually, at least at a reasonable price (<< than
that of the entire umbrella). Throw it away and buy a new umbrella.

From a Neighbor who is tossing out their ripped up one.
We have lost - rotted - the cable a number of times and with the wear
and tear on the older designs that catch the wind, we just tossed them.

I might have one. Never know. We save junk sometimes. Check the
neighbors for one.

If you are making an umbrella be sure to have an open flap type so the
center of the cloth flies open in wind and doesn't catch the large canvas.

Have you tried chain link fence railing parts? I think the rails of some ar 1-3/8" OD. Not sure what you have but since its wood....
I recall seeing this joint on many stair railings.
Just a thought.
Good luck, you probably already solved this...

Keep your eyes peeled on the curb on garbage day - seems to be a good
supply of junked umbrelllas - particularly after wind storms.
