If you have a pool, it’s the epicenter of your yard; designed to entertain, unwind, and create a comforting, ambient atmosphere. Selecting the right patio furniture to go around your pool can enhance both the luxury and functionality of your outdoor space. Whether you are looking for something comfortable to sit in or lay on, a small table for your favorite book, or a large table to gather around poolside, here are four key things to look for when shopping for pool furniture.

Comfortable Outdoor Furniture

Relaxation and quality time are the name of the game when it comes to pool time. Whether you are in the crystal clear, refreshing water or lounging on a soft, ergonomically designed chair, comfort is a key consideration. Cushions play a significant role in the comfort department. Look for cushions made of all-weather textiles, ideally acrylic fabric. Sunbrella offers a rain fabric that will resist moisture and can easily be wiped dry. Outdoor fabrics are also UV resistant, which means they won’t fade and will maintain their soft feel.

Durable Poolside Furniture

As with any outdoor item, your furniture will be up against the elements. From rain, wind, and sun, to hot and cold temperatures, it’s important to find furniture that will hold up season after season. You have a lot of options when it comes to material, and they each have their benefits. The way you intend to use the outdoor furniture will help you determine the right material for you in terms of longevity. Also, check the accessories that come with the furniture like cushions. Look for heavy-duty seams, consider cushions that can be unzipped for periodic airing, however, never remove the cushion from the cover, or cushions that can be flipped. Flipping your cushions helps them to retain their shape.

The Best Materials for Poolside Furniture

As state above, there are a lot of different material options for your pool furniture. Your selection will ultimately come down to your needs and tastes. Here are a few material options to consider.

Aluminum / Plastic / PVC Outdoor Furniture

These materials can be lightweight, fairly inexpensive, and rustproof. They can easily be cleaned with soap and water.

Steel and Wrought Iron Outdoor Furniture

These are more heavy-duty options. Iron will last forever, but will eventually need to be cleaned and repainted. The experts at Casual Creations are available to sand and repaint your iron outdoor furniture.

Wooden Poolside Furniture

This attractive material offers a solid option for comfort and durability. Wood does require regular treatment and could need UV protection. Opt for weather resistant woods like teak, redwood, cypress, or cedar.

Pool Furniture Styles

Of course, you will want something as nice to look at as it is to sit in. No matter what material you choose, there are options that can accentuate any décor you already have, and that will complement the design of your pool as well.

If this is the year you add or update your pool deck, the experts at Casual Creations have the outdoor furniture selection for you. Casual Creations is your local destination for quality products and exceptional service.
