Best Pool Lounge Ideas and Design Inspiration [Montenegro Stone House Renovation Vision Board]

We all dreamed of having our own pool at home, didn’t we? Because why not? Just the thought of chilling in the pool after a tiring day, or having a pool party with your family and friends bring so much excitement. However, setting up a pool at home can be pretty expensive and requires enough space. So if your home already has the required place to be able to put up a pool and of course, the budget, then it is now time to start thinking about your very own pool lounge.

You should know that there are things that you need to consider before buying a pool lounge. First, how much space do you have for the lounge? Pool lounges usually take up more square footage than a typical bench or any other outdoor furniture. Lounges usually measure around 78.5 inches long, 27 inches wide and 16.75 inches tall. You can use this as a standard measurement before you purchase one.

Second, know the materials used to make the lounge. In this case, it all goes down to your preferences. There are different types of materials used namely; softwood, hardwood, teak, wicker, HDPE Lumber, and aluminum. Softwoods are considered the cheapest among all the other materials. However, they’re not really advisable to be placed outside as they offer less comfort. They also degrade faster than other materials. And when exposed to elements for a long time, they can rot. If you prefer a softwood because it’s cheap, it’s recommended to varnish it regularly to prevent signs of wear and tear.

Hardwoods on the other hand are more durable and stronger than softwoods. The only cons of these are they can be damaged by water and are more expensive. The third type is teak. Teak materials produce their own oil to remain durable against the elements. Teak materials also last for many years if you properly maintained it. The next one is the wicker materials. This type of material is now getting more and more popular nowadays. It is because of its aesthetic looks. However, its durability depends on where you put it and it is also hard to clean. Meanwhile, HDPE Lumber Materials are known to be one of the most durable, weather-resistant, and good looking materials. This type of material can stay outdoors even for a year without signs of wear and tear. Another best thing about this is they are available in a wide range of colors and is easy to clean. The only con it has is it’s expensive. The last one is the aluminum materials. The same with HDPE, aluminum is also one of the most popular. This type of material is lightweight, extremely durable, easy to clean, and water & dust resistant. You can leave it outside without being damaged. However, aluminum materials are also expensive.

Now that you have an idea of the materials used in making a pool lounge, start looking for the best one for you!
