Seat Shades

A seat shade is a small canopy that attaches directly to an individual chaise or chair, giving one person shade without an umbrella, a pole or a base anywhere on the deck. On a tanning ledge, where there is often nowhere to put a base and no deck to drill, it is frequently the only shade option that works at all.

Why people buy them

• Head and shoulder coverage where it matters most, while your legs stay in the sun and the water.
• No base required, so nothing sits in the ledge or blocks the walkway.
• Moves with the seat. Reposition the chaise and the shade follows.
• Sensible for kids and anyone photosensitive who still wants to be in the water rather than parked under a covered patio.

Match the shade to the seat

Seat shades are made to fit specific frames, so order the version that matches your piece. There are separate models for the chaise and chaise deep frames and for the chair. Fitting the wrong one is the only thing that goes wrong here, so confirm your seat model before adding to cart.

The canopy fabric is UV resistant and made to stay outdoors. For broader coverage over a group rather than a single seat, look at cantilever umbrellas and in ground umbrella mounts.
