Selecting the perfect outdoor pool furniture can turn any swimming area into a luxurious retreat. From sun-drenched loungers to modular sectionals, these high-end designs provide style and comfort.

Layout
Your patio furniture must accommodate for all the various uses you have in mind for it, such as lounging, poolside dining or other activities. Once this decision has been made, arrange your furniture accordingly.
Squeezing too much furniture into a small area can have the opposite of its intended effect: making it feel cramped and stressful. Instead, try striking a balance between seating and storage spaces – for example using benches and ottomans as dual-purpose outdoor seating pieces can double up as convenient storage spots for pool supplies, towels, and cleaning equipment – giving you everything you need without worry over where or how it’s getting wet.
Consider your furniture when planning a layout: durable, comfortable, and easy to keep clean. From traditional sofa and chair sets to the popular balcony settee (two tall adirondack chairs joined together with a removable center side table), Phat Tommy’s pool patio furniture is designed for long-term durability while remaining easy to keep clean with just a quick wipe down – plus, its water resistance allows it to withstand splashes, wet swimsuits, etc. without fading or cracking over time!
Addition of seating to a lounge area can add functionality and encourage people to spend more time around the pool. Consider installing a poolside sectional that can comfortably seat at least three people; this option is great for large decks as well as creating cozy sitting spots on smaller patios. Complemented with pool chairs and an umbrella-shaded table for an attractive layout.
If your poolside patio features a firepit, use it as the focal point for seating arrangement. Aim for creating an arrangement whereby the furniture echoes the shape of the firepit to make everyone feel connected in an inviting atmosphere.
Materials
Selecting materials suitable for pool furniture is essential, given its exposure to weather elements such as rain, sunlight and chlorine in your pool. Consider investing in furniture constructed of sturdy metal frames or plastic which has been engineered against fading over time.
Wicker furniture is an increasingly popular option, offering durability and casual elegance that works in any environment. Additionally, its maintenance requirements make it a practical choice for families. Aluminum pieces provide timeless style while being resistant to environmental elements; many also include woven seating options to further increase comfort levels.
Other materials options for outdoor pool furniture are wood, recycled plastic and teak. Wood is a beautiful natural choice and makes an impressive statement in an outdoor pool area, yet requires regular care as it may become susceptible to rotting and mold growth; high-quality woods such as teak are less susceptible to such issues.
Metal furniture is an outdoor classic that makes an excellent addition to poolside lounging areas, offering distinct advantages when used around chlorine pools. Unfortunately, its main drawback lies with rust. Chlorine can cause it to form and produce unsightly rust stains on its surfaces that contaminate the water; to find safe metal options that won’t rust try stainless steel or aluminum options instead.
When shopping for lounge chairs, tables, and other furniture for your commercial pool, it is key to keep comfort top of mind when designing it. Your clients don’t want to waste precious leisure time sitting on chairs that leave them uncomfortable after just minutes; find designs that allow guests to linger poolside without becoming uncomfortable quickly, as well as add additional features to maximize customer experience.
Accessories
Add accessories to your pool furniture to make it more comfortable and enjoyable. Lounge chairs can be enhanced by outdoor pillows and cushions that provide added comfort while adding color. Outdoor toys like ping pong or acrylic cornhole sets are great way to entertain both children and adults while adding another element to poolside seating. A deck box provides convenient storage of toys, towels, and supplies needed.
A poolside gazebo provides an inviting place for restful relaxation while protecting you from the intense sunlight. Additionally, it can act as a gathering place when hosting parties with family and friends, serving as the ideal focal point. There is a variety of styles available so as to meet any decor theme or landscaping preference.
Add a daybed to your poolside lounge area for an enjoyable, restful atmosphere. These versatile pieces offer ample space, sturdy support, and plenty of cushioned comfort; some models even provide UV protection from the sun!
Many people choose steel pool furniture because it is relatively inexpensive and easy to locate in large retail stores. Unfortunately, over time the metal quickly erodes due to regular contact with chlorine and salt water and leaves orange rust stains on patios and pool decks.
As an alternative, consider purchasing wicker-style pool furniture made of synthetic materials such as resin or plastic resin, which can withstand weather elements without fading quickly like traditional fabrics do. Furthermore, these lightweight options are easy to store away when not needed.
Some furniture can be placed directly in the water, though only specifically designed floats should do this. Other pieces may warp or fade due to moisture exposure and direct sunlight; for maximum safety it is wise to purchase furniture suitable for outdoor use and moisture resistance.
