Product Information

When you think of a pool, it’s natural to think of sunshine. Pools are a hallmark of the summer months, keeping families and homeowners outdoors and entertained during hot and sunny weather. For more and more pool lovers, grabbing a bit of shade is becoming a priority. Whether it’s from concern over UV exposure, a need to find some respite from the hot midday sun, or simply to avoid a sunburn, many pool owners are turning to shade solutions for their pools.

If you’re not keen on round umbrellas, there are square or cantilever umbrellas too. Cantilever umbrellas have poles on the side instead of in the middle. This provides you unobstructed protection from the sun. Effectiveness of pool umbrellas No matter what type of pool float you choose, there are general swimming safety guidelines that parents should always follow and be mindful of for themselves, their baby, and any other children. “Caregivers must always stay arm’s distance from any child in a float, and remain attentive to the well-being of the child. Never leave a child alone in a float. Never leave a float, or any toys in the pool which can act as a lure for a child to enter a pool unsupervised,” shares Jennifer May, certified lifeguard and member of the United States Swim School Association, one of the experts who helped us choose baby pool floats for this list. If you’re going to choose cantilever structures, you have to consider its size, color, and material. Most cantilevers are made of aluminum to avoid corrosion and termites. This material also allows these structures to require little maintenance.

Lay the tarpaulin or canvas on the ground, for example on the grass or terrace and pass the tubes through the tarpaulin or the canvas. It is more convenient to do this together with someone else. But the good thing about umbrellas is that they are flexible and adjustable. Meaning, you can move them wherever you want and adjust them with the sun’s movement. They are cheap and easy to set up too. Plus, most of them have modern designs that make your pool area look good. Pros Note: do you have a swimming pool dome or canopy sized 400 x 200 or 540 x 250 cm? Then further in this blog we offer you some useful tips for setting up domes with these dimensions. Baby floats are not water safety equipment and should only be used with constant, capable adult supervision, within arm's reach of the child,” says Dr. Denny, who is the lead author of the AAP Policy Statement and Technical Report on Prevention of Drowning.Installing a shade structure over the pool can deliver a range of benefits beyond UV protection and relief from the rays. Today’s shade structures can be great aesthetic additions to a pool, giving you a bit of ambiance and style. And with well-structured, large-scale permanent structures, you’ll also be adding value to your home. But Take Note: This float is recommended only for babies 3 to 9 months old, so they’ll need a different one soon. Sometimes, the best solution is the simplest option. Pool umbrellas have long been providing shades to people for decades. They have been around for so long that their design and functionality has also improved. Thus, making them a great option for swimming pools. In addition, with the rectangular domes it’s better to attach the last tube with a corner to the other side once the other tubes have already been passed through the tarpaulin or the canvas. There are many types of pool floats on the market, but the first thing you should know is that there’s a difference between a recreational pool device and a personal flotation device. “A recreational pool device includes different pool floats that are usually inflatable and designed for recreation and not specifically to prevent drowning,” Dr. Watson warns. Do not rely on a baby pool float to serve as a personal floatation device.
