In-pool umbrella recommendations

[kevin.gt]

I’m looking for product links to umbrellas people have successfully used in their pool for long durations. I had a couple cheap “aluminum” umbrellas from Amazon with good reviews that both rusted after two months (unknown to me until I lifted them out of the tanning ledge).

I know other posts suggest aluminum but I’m nervous to buy another set like that without personal recommendation since they obviously aren’t always completely aluminum. I greatly appreciate any recommendations.

I am not sure so here is a bump to get more eyes on it.

Sorry to bump my own thread, but going to try one more time to get some help. Thanks in advance

I've used one all summer long that I bought from Lowe's and it is still in great shape. I spent less than a hundred bucks on it, and I made sure it was aluminum before I bought it. If there is rust it sure isn't aluminum. Without seeing one in person I wouldn't trust it myself. You might even bring a magnet with you to see if it sticks to the pole.

Love the idea of using a magnet. Thanks!

I’m looking for an in-pool umbrella also. And hoping to gain some recommendations here as well. Let me know if you find a good one please! Thanks in advance

We changed out the short aluminum/steel/?? metal with a 6 foot stainless steel pole. Raises the umbrella to a usable heights and will no worries about rust. SS Umbrella Pole and using 11 foot, 6 panel umbrella from Amazon.

Got ours at Sam's club 2 years ago. Still going strong to this day (pole is aluminum).
