Buying Guide
It’s summertime and it’s HOT outside. But if you are fortunate enough to have a pool in your backyard then you have a place to cool off but what about shade protection while you are in the pool or relaxing beside it?
There are many shade solutions for a pool and like with all patio and backyard decisions, looking at the big picture is important. Some of the considerations are the design and size of the pool and what furniture you will place around it.
A hot new trend in pool construction is in-pool umbrellas with umbrella stands built directly into the pool steps or benches, or built into the pool deck. The purpose for this type of design is obvious: to provide shade in areas of the pool and pool deck, and because it looks really awesome.
When using an umbrella directly in the pool, especially in a salt water pool, make sure to use one that is stainless steel, aluminum or fiberglass – materials impervious to chlorine and salts.
Another thing to keep in mind is that when a pool umbrella is in the pool, it may be lower (in height) than you imagine. Umbrella pole extensions can be used to raise in-pool umbrellas above eye-poking level. Finally consider placement carefully, to provide the shade you want, during different times of the year, when the sun is higher or lower in the sky.
FiberBuilt 7.5′ 6 Rib Hexagon / Round Garden Umbrella with Crank Lift These light-duty umbrellas feature valance style canopies (available in 10 vinyl coated weave colors), and a two-piece, 1.5″ diameter aluminum pole with a .065 (1.65 mm) wall thickness. It can be used both in-table and freestanding. While not designed for high wind locations, these budget-friendly valance style umbrellas provide years of shaded comfort to backyards and pool decks.
A cantilever or offset umbrella is a great way to shade multiple areas including pool coverage as well as the surrounding areas, and since the umbrella is NOT going directly in the pool, as discussed above, the umbrella frame material is not as crucial so a bamboo or wood pole umbrella can also be used.
Using one of these umbrellas, also known as side pole umbrellas, can make a statement as well as keep you and your family protected from the harsh rays of the sun.

Disclamer
All in-pool umbrellas should be removed after using them and should not be left under water for an extended period of time. The chemicals used in pool water will eventually corrode most any pole.
