Octagon ShelfShade In-Pool Umbrella for Tanning Ledges and Baja Shelves
The Octagon ShelfShade™ is designed for in-pool tanning ledges, swimming pool baja shelves, and shallow water lounge areas. It brings shade, comfort, and resort-style living directly into the pool.
Extra Height for Pool Sleeve Installation
Engineered with a 2-piece, 108 in extended pole, this umbrella is designed for in-ground pool sleeve installations where extra height matters. At 108 in tall, it gives at least 6 in more headroom than many in-pool umbrellas that are 102 in or shorter. That extra clearance makes it easier to get in and out of your pool chairs without ducking, and helps reduce the chance of bumping your head.
Once the pole is inserted into the pool's built-in sleeve, the added height keeps the canopy above seated or reclining users and leaves walking and entry space beneath it.
Built for Everyday Ease of Use
A smooth crank system opens and closes the canopy. Once it is open, a push-button tilt lets you angle the canopy to follow the sun. Press to tilt, and press again to return it upright, with no manual cranking.
A single wind vent improves airflow and helps stability in normal residential conditions. For higher wind areas, a double vent option is available. It lets wind pass through the canopy instead of building up underneath it.

Upgrade to the Double Vent Canopy
If your pool is in a breezy area, the optional Double Vent Canopy is a worthwhile upgrade. More air flows through the umbrella, which reduces wind pressure on the frame and canopy. That improves stability in everyday breezes, reduces stress on the components, and can contribute to a longer service life.
We especially recommend it for homes near the coast, on lakes, in open backyards, on rooftops, or anywhere gusty winds are common.
Please note: no patio umbrella should remain open during storms or high winds. Closing the umbrella when it is not in use is the best way to maximize its lifespan.
Optional Matching Storage Carry Bag
Protect your ShelfShade™ umbrella between uses with an optional storage carry bag, made in the USA from durable, solution-dyed acrylic fabric. Each bag is produced to match your umbrella's canopy color, so a black umbrella ships with a black carry bag and a Pacific Blue umbrella with a Pacific Blue bag, across all five available colors.
