A canopy for use with recreational chairs to provide sun protection comprising two leg members of tubular construction, each leg member having a free end and an other end, said free end of each leg member terminating in a U-shaped slot formed by removal of a radial segment of said tubular leg member along a portion of its axial length so as to provide directly opposed concave segments adapted to matingly fit over the tubular frame of a chairback, said leg members being held apart with the leg slots in facing relationship by a connecting member of tubular construction, each of said leg members having connecting means at the other end thereof, said connecting means having a face adapted to rotatably contact an end face of said connecting member, a rod extending through said connecting member and having one end attached to a first leg member, the other rod end extending through the opposite end of the connecting member and through the other leg member, tensioning means attached to the rod end extending through said opposite end of the connecting member whereby tension can be applied to adjust the pressure between the rotatably contacting faces of said legs and said connecting member, a generally U-shaped frame member, the two ends of said frame member attached at the ends of said connecting member, said frame member extending outwardly from said connecting member in a generally planar configuration, the said legs held in spaced apart relationship, and said tensioning means being adapted to allow and to stop rotation of said connecting member whereby the canopy frame memer is readily adjustable in position.
