What you need to know before buying that in-pool patio umbrella

There are quite a few items to be aware of about in-pool  patio umbrellas. We have great options of in-pool patio umbrellas. But It’s a good idea to seek advice from with your pool contractor as well. They will make preparations for putting in the sleeve for umbrella before construction.
 
The type material used in the patio umbrella you pick needs to be aluminum or fiberglass. Wood or steel is not the right choice. Both will comprised by chlorine, salts and other compounds used to treat the water. Even the water itself will do them harm.
 

How long will it last?

 
For long lasting in-pool umbrella use aluminum poles umbrellas. They are the way to go because they are much less likely to affected by water and chemicals.
 
Those with an anodized poles react much less than powder lined finishes. FiberTeaks are a simulated wood umbrella. Because of the textured fiberglass and gelcoat, they won’t swell and are resistant to chemicals.
 
Pool sun shelf sleeves are available in many sizes such as 1.5 inches, 2.0 inches, and 2.25 inches, which are suitable for most center pole umbrellas. As the saying goes, ‘Measure twice, cut once!’ This holds true when it comes to ensuring a proper fit.  
 
It’s better to think about an in-pool umbrella while (or ideally before) the pool is being built. That way the builder can drill out the shotcrete or gunite and lining cloth and area the mount or sleeve for the umbrella throughout the plastering process. Drilling thru the basis of an present pool requires a effective drill with a diamond tipped hole saw. Because you would want to discover and keep away from drilling via rebar, amongst different concerns, this ought to now not be undertaken as a DIY project.
 

Don’t rush it!

 
Take time to decide the placement of  the sleeve because this will be permanent. Think about the path of the sun in your location and how at different times of the year that will change. Also it’s a good idea to think about where you will likely get the most use for your in-pool umbrella, do you have  wadding area sun bathing area?
 
The early these things are thought about the better also, be conscious that the umbrella will be shorter that if it was on land due to the fact the the pole will now be subterranean, as  its the trendy option now a days. Galtech has bar top extensions for this.it
