An 11-tier thatched canopy gives a pool deck or backyard tiki bar the look of a beach palapa while shading a 10-ft circle underneath. Thirty-two rib-mounted LED beads plus a center light run off a solar panel and switch on from a button on the rib, so the space stays lit long after sunset. A manual crank raises the canopy and the pole tilts through 0 to 30 degrees to block sun coming in low from the west. Waterproof PE thatch layered over fade-resistant polyester covers 8 steel ribs, and a double-vented crown keeps air moving below.
