Pool Buoy Plus Floating Umbrella and Buoy - Caribbean Crush

We really like this floating umbrella! We used it many times this summer and it makes for an excellent place to simply take a break from the sun on a hot day. Our pool is in the shade all afternoon, however, before 2pm this baby was set up and lashed to the side of the pool. Easy to swim over and get out of the direct sunlight! Easy set up and take down. It's built pretty sturdy for the price. Hopefully, if I ever have a problem I can simply contact the company. They appear to be a small, family type of business. In any case, you can't go wrong with this thing. Very cool!

my husband burns so easily and i didnt want some big obnoxious umbrella hanging by our pool 24/7 so i decided to try this. he absolutely loves it. some people complain about it not floating properly but we havent had that problem. it holds up like it should and comes apart so easily he can store it after every use. I highly recommend this

The Shade Science Pool Buoy is a must for any pool owner. We bought it to supplement our sun shelf umbrella, which is stationary and only provides shade for a small portion of the pool. My 2 year old daughter loves to jump off the edge into my arms, but my back was getting roasted by the hot Texas sun. The first time we used this I was able to keep it positioned to keep us both protected from the sun.The installation was a breeze and only took about 3 minutes. Everything is made out of high quality materials. It was especially thoughtful that the cup holders are sized wide enough to fit a drink with a koozie. We haven't had any issues with it tipping over, but I only had 1 drink in there so I can't speak to it being full. Overall it was a great purchase and we look forward to using it all summer.

I ordered this to use at the lake as portable shade and a drink holder while floating around with friends. It works pretty well and is well constructed. My only complaint is that it was a little unstable in the waves and kept trying to tip over. I have fixed that problem by attaching a pool noodle around the outside of the table for more stability and buoyancy. Works like a charm!

Loved this product. Quick delivery. Easy to put together. Great quality. Does a fantastic job keeping the sun off my skin. Very clever idea to solve a very real problem for everyone. Looks great in the pool too.

If one or two cans or cups are placed in the table, the entire bouy tilts spilling the contents. This occurs even when umbrella is lowered nearly to the water. A third counter weight cup can be used to prevent spillage but still does not balance well. Without any load the system works as a follow shade.

This pool umbrella is a must have for all pools! We live in Texas where it gets pretty hot in the summer time. It was so hot one day that I got my umbrella out of my car, held it over me while I laid on my float and said “I need to invent something so I won’t have to hold the umbrella”. I’m a realist so I first went on Amazon to see if something was already invented and shazam....there it was!! I ordered it on the spot, received it in 2 days and have been in heaven ever since. It is so nice to have my head covered....if I want or my feet....if I want. Hands down, best purchase ever!! It will not disappoint!! I have been telling all my friends and they can’t believe how comforting this umbrella is. I did find that it is better to have the umbrella lower to the water if you have larger cups in the cup holder so it doesn’t tip to one side but that is not a deal changer. I know you will Love yours to!!

The pool buoy works amazingly well. When trying to use a poolside umbrella, I was stuck near one corner of the pool. With Pool Buoy, I can float anywhere in the pool and stay in the shade. When you exit the pool, it is super-easy to flip the height-adjuster and take the umbrella part of the pool buoy out of the pool, leaving the heavier parts of the Pool Buoy in the pool. I initially wondered... why five cup holders when the umbrella is really sized for one (or two). However - you will spend so much time under the Pool Buoy, you can use those cupholders for cups of pretzels, snacks, extra drinks! While our poolside umbrellas were blowing over in the wind, Pool Buoy stayed under control. Brilliant!
