My vintage gunite pool needs shade in the shallow end. No shelf, just a 36" deep shallow end.
I do not want to install sleeves in the bottom, so I want to use "portable" plastic bases filled with ballast (probably pea gravel).
Any suggestions for umbrella bases bigger (and heavier) than the normal big-box store items?
I know that umbrella poles need to be stainless, aluminum or fiberglass and will probably need to be extended to get the umbrella to a normal height above the water line.
