I think they're called Coolaroo or Kuranda dog beds - we don't have one but quite a few people do have them on this website and think they're the best! I'm sure someone will chime in!
We have Coolaroos, one for each dog. My Polly uses them as an interactive toy. Here are a couple videos, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TXqrKSUHXI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmbPCBqa41A she actually wears the top out and we have to order new ones. She frequently is asleep on it with bones, balls and antlers but her favorite thing is to play on it. My Meg uses it for sleep. It is affordable and easily cleaned and replaced. Amazon is a great place to pick them up.
Polly is too cute playing on her Coolaroo!
Here are my two relaxing on their Kuranda bed on our back deck this past summer. It was easy to assemble, is very sturdy, and keeps them cool when it's hot outside. I think I got the largest size possible. The frame is included in the dimensional measurements, so remember to subtract that to understand the real surface area space when choosing. The structure is made of very durable PVC, so it's virtually chew-proof. I like that it's elevated, to give my guys some relief from the deck, which can get quite hot when the temperature is high. It's advertised as being "orthopedic," but if you're looking for something that's really comfortable, I'd buy something cushier.
Laurie posted a great discussion about Vern and his Coolaroo bed, with photos. All the feedback you could want:

Note that some dogs don't like these types of beds, and also that the covers can become torn and need replacement. :)
True about the replacement, Polly plays on hers so much we have to replace the cover about once a year and it is still worth it.
I bought one for Haley. He would get on it if I told him to but he would not stay on it. It stayed up for a year with no success. Wish I had been able to borrow one to try out.
