To repair a broken string in an offset umbrella, first, remove the canopy to access the interior mechanism. Carefully detach the broken string from the pulley system and replace it with a new length of similar string or cord, ensuring it matches the original in strength and thickness. Re-thread the new string through the pulleys and reattach it securely. Finally, reassemble the umbrella and test the mechanism to ensure it operates smoothly.
Fortunately, it is possible to purchase umbrella replacement fabric in order to repair your umbrella. It may be difficult to find an exact match, but you can try places such as mjsales, or umbrella-replacement to try and match the fabric.

Cantilevered umbrellas are also an excellent option for shading oddly-shaped or nonstandard tables, or even over an pair of outdoor lounge chairs.
