I want this clarifying please
In the British Isles,Denmark,Germany and also Australia, New Zealand,We have Deckchairs though Germany /Denmark describe Sun Loungers as "Deckchairs",The MW has an image of the same Item calls it a "deckchair"
The real thing looks like this

But what would you call one of these where you live?
Ps Can easily get into a mess putting it up

We call those things deckchairs, and a common expression concerning activities undertaken to avert a disaster after it is too late to avert is: "rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic". However, my Funk and Wagnall's Standard College Dictionary doesn't list either deckchairs or sun loungers.

Oooo, I just heard that expression somewhere recently. Good stuff.

I call them a nuisance.

You see my point. It's easy to painfully catch a finger in a tight spot.
