pool umbrella

Poolside sun canopy

A pool umbrella is a large outdoor umbrella designed to provide shade near a swimming pool.

Typically mounted on a heavy base or through a patio table, it shields swimmers and loungers from direct sunlight: We sat under the pool umbrella between swims.

The term is interchangeable with patio umbrella, though pool umbrella emphasizes poolside use.
