The poolside umbrellas make your swimming pool area more attractive and colorful while also providing shade from the harmful UV ultraviolet rays of the sun. Along with swimming pool lounges and furniture, they can create very pleasing flairs and architectural designs that make your swimming pool one of the most desired one. If you are wondering how to choose a good swimming pool umbrella, here are some tips to help you out.

Location related preferences and buying from a good poolside umbrella manufacturer

You may place the umbrella at the thermal ledge or may anchor and attach it to an umbrella base that has some weight to it. The umbrella may also be attached over the dining or recreational table. The swimming pool umbrellas may range from 5 to 11 feet in size and hence you need to choose one properly by pre-planning its location. For the dining table, the umbrella must at least cover the complete table.


  • For a table sized less than 36 inches; the umbrella can be up to 8 feet in size.
  • For tables up to 48 inches, the umbrella should have a size of 11 feet or somewhere near to it.
  • For dining tables of size 55 inches or a greater of 60 inches, the umbrella should be more than 11 feet in size.
