Poolside Furniture: What to Look For
A day by the pool is a terrible thing to waste. But with the right outdoor pool furniture, you’ll ensure that you and your family never miss a chance to lounge outdoors and enjoy the water as it’s intended. Whether it’s on the patio or directly waterside, pool furniture can liven up your outdoor space while also offering practical (and downright comfortable) places to sit down, lay out, and relax.
There’s plenty of pool furniture to consider — lounge chairs, patio umbrellas, even hammocks and poolside day beds — but finding what works for you depends on a number of factors, including your optimum price range, ideal furniture material, and anticipated usage.
Below are a few helpful guidelines to steer you in the right direction. Once you have an idea what you’re in the market for, you’ll be ready to explore some of our top-tier brands that will deliver on your outdoor, poolside vision.
Pool Furniture Materials
Depending on the type of water in your pool, you may need a specific type of furniture material. For instance, if you’re swimming in a saltwater pool, you’ll want to avoid any type of steel or iron lounge chairs or chaises as they may corrode over time. Instead, consider materials like wicker or teak, either of which are far less water-absorbent. But no matter if your pool is saltwater or chlorine, all the outdoor furniture we offer is water-resistant and can handle the moisture that will inevitably be on your pool furniture. (You’re in the splash zone, after all.)
While we’re at it, be sure to consider materials that can hold up in direct sunlight. The last thing you want is for your beautiful patio or pool furniture to begin to fade and crack after only a few short years. Consider the durable plastic found in high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is great for all climates and super easy to clean.
Outdoor Furniture to Fulfill Your Needs
Whether on the patio or poolside, it’s crucial to consider the primary usage of this pool furniture. If you’re looking to simply take a breather between dips, lounge chairs or outdoor sofas may be your ideal match. If you’re considering an outdoor kitchen to complete your backyard oasis, then you’ll likely want to explore our outdoor dining sets, seating sets and club chairs.
Perhaps your space is reserved for smaller affairs, in which case may we suggest a bistro set. Made to seat two, this set is ideal for intimate settings and poolside cocktails best saved for “adult swim.”
No matter how you’re planning to spend your time, be sure your patio and pool furniture is best suited to your needs. It will make your pool furniture experience far more rewarding, and you’ll likely avoid any buyer’s remorse.
Pool Furniture FAQs
What size are pool loungers?
The standard dimensions for a chaise lounge is around 25–30 inches in width and 70–80 inches in length.
Should you put pool furniture in the pool during a hurricane?
We recommend that pool furniture be placed in the pool in the event of a hurricane, but it is best removed immediately after as some furniture material may begin to rust if completely submerged for too long.
Do I need to store pool furniture during the winter?
We recommended that pool furniture be stored during the winter months to avoid damage from the weather, as well as mold or mildew. The same goes for most outdoor furniture.
Can I use my pool furniture in my pool?
Only furniture that is specifically designed to be used in the pool should do so. At this moment, BBQGuys does not offer in-pool furniture, but stay tuned!
