outdoor pool furnitureThe range of available Outdoor Pool Furniture is huge these days. It is possible to create any effect you like. The most important consideration when choosing your furniture has to be it’s durability. When your furniture has to spend season after season outside it will have to endure the effects of prolonged UV radiation, wind, rain and even hail. So you’ll want to be sure that it’s going to last. Check the materials carefully before you buy. Are they rust resistant? Are they UV resistant? Are the colors going to fade badly in the first season? Once you have established that the furniture is going to last then the next thing to consider is will the materials dry quickly and are they easy to clean.

If you want to keep it simple the classic Quick Dry Gravity Recliners are excellent. Their Powder coated steel frames are rust resistant and will still look good after many seasons of use. They have water resistant textaline seats that are as stated quick drying. You can adjust the recline position using easy turn knobs that lock or unlock the recliner allowing you to find the perfect position for you. They even come with a removable cushioned head rest. The great thing about these recliners is the price. At around $60 it  shouldn’t break the bank to have half a dozen around your pool.

If you want to get the most for your dollar, I highly recommend a storage unit that doubles as a bench. With one of these units you can store all your pool accessories and have a extra seating or a place to put a tray of drinks or snacks. With this kind of unit hardwood construction is recommended. They are durable and you don’t have to worry about the nasty chemicals used in treated timber. It’s possible to pick up a good hard wood storage unit for around $200.

With a larger budget and a bit more space around your pool how about a Conversation set. These typically comprise a lounge type seat with a number of individual seats and ottomans around a low table. Materials can be wicker, cane or frequently powder coated aluminum. For a set that seats three you can expect to pay in the region of $800 . From there prices go up to over $2000 for a well made 6 seater set.

When you are choosing your outdoor pool furniture don’t forget to consider the need for shade. A poolside umbrella or awning is an absolute must these days with strengthening UV radiation an issue. The simplest and cheapest solution is a poolside umbrella. Many good models these days have a tilt function so you can provide the maximum shade no matter what the angle of the sun. A really important part of the umbrella which shouldn’t be ignored is the anchor or weight. There’s nothing worse than a gust of wind sending your umbrella crashing through the french windows!
