Welcome to Pool Lounge Chairs where you’ll find reviews of the best offerings online of Outdoor Pool Furniture! Redesign the whole look of your pool with the latest models from the leading brands.
But first a few words about how to choose the best Pool Lounge Chairs. One of the most important considerations is the material used in the longe chairs construction. This will have a big influence not only on a chairs durability but also on it’s weight and therefore how easy it is to move from one place to another. This becomes a worthwhile consideration when you want to follow the sun through the day and be able to find the shade when you want it too.
Modern construction materials such as aluminum provide a great combination of rust free durability and light weight. Wooden pool lounge chairs do however retain a lot more style. Yes they are heavier but they are also extemely strong and if well looked after they will last for season after season. The trick with all Pool Lounge Chairs is to limit their exposure. Yes they are made to last out in the elements but if you take the precaution of storing them in a dry shaded place for the winter you’ll find that they will serve you well year after year.
Watch out for cheap steel models. Very often they are painted on the outside of the frame only. What this means is that when it rains the water that gets inside the tubing will rust it out. The first sign of this is when you get rust stains on your deck after rain. As soon as you notice these then you’ll want to bring your chairs in every time it rains. It’s a sign that you’ve bought a cheap Pool Lounge Chair -but you knew that already right!
A key indication of just how durable a particular chair is likely to be is the warranty. Do the manufacturers stand by their product and if so for how long? If all they’ve got is 12 months then can you expect the lounge chair to start falling apart during the second summer!
A really big factor in the decision to purchase one lounge chair over another comes with the adjustability of the chair. How easy is the chair to adjust? Can you adjust it while you are sitting in it or do you have to get out?How many different settings does the chair have. Many of the best models these days have infinite settings where you can lock the chair in any position you like. It’s worth checking the quality of the locks though. Are they safe to use and are they reliable?
One final thing you may want to consider is just how well do these chairs fold away if at all? You may well not need or want to move your Pool Lounge Chair any distance but if you do then take note of the way the chair folds. Is it easy to carry off down to the beach when you want?
Shopping for Commercial Pool Furniture is a whole other deal from just buying a chaise lounge for your backyard pool. Whether it be for a hotel pool, a country club, balconies,cruise ships or the beach if it’s a commercial set up then your standards are going to be exacting.
Your first consideration is going to be quality. Pool furniture for commercial use needs to be of the highest quality for a number of reasons. When you buy pool furniture it can represent an important investment and you need to be absolutely sure you are going to get he return you need from it.
Retail products can start to look shabby after only one season so it pays to make sure your furniture is going to go the distance. In a commercial environment your labor costs are the greatest drain on your liquidity so you need furniture that requires little or no maintenance and the minimum of handling. What this effectively means is that the furniture must be able to withstand a battering from the elements and with a quick wipe down look as good as new. The effects of prolonged exposure to Ultra Violet radiation from the sun should not be underestimated. With poor quality furniture you will notice that it starts to fade withing the first couple of months. Low quality vinyl coverings will crack in the sun and require replacement. Look for a high resistance to UV degradation that is backed by a warranty. Aside from UV damage your furniture is also at risk form rain, wind and hail. If you are purchasing chaise lounge furniture with cushions then there is also the consideration of mold and mildew. It’s worth checking on the waterproofing of your cushions and again whether the manufacturer is backing it up with a warranty.
With such an important investment the warranty demands close scrutiny. I would personally demand a warranty that covers three years and be confident that I have gone over the details with a fine toothed comb.
The next major consideration you need to pay really close attention to is the safety of all your furniture. This is particularly the case with many chaise loungers as they have reclining backs to them. Check out the mechanism. Make sure it is almost impossible to trap hands or fingers in when it is operated by your customers. Mistakes in this area can and do cost operates millions so don’t be caught out. Many reputable manufacturers will have a safety rating that is given by an independent body. For real piece of mind this is worth it’s weight in gold.
While on the subject of safety make sure you have furniture that can take the weight of your customers. A minimum load bearing capacity of 300lbs is important. This again is a safety issue. Using the example of chaise lounge furniture many good manufacturers use extra long sleighs at the front to prevent accidental front tilting. It is this kind of detail that you need to look for when you make your choice.
Again on the issue of safety be aware of the potential danger of wind. This is especially important when it comes to patio umbrellas or pool side umbrellas. Very often the standard weights are not reliable and won’t let you sleep easily at night. Look for fool proof systems that will handle unexpected high winds.
