Rectangle and kidney bean-shaped pools are undoubtedly great to have, but these days you can modernize your backyard with a resort-quality pool, complete with stylish and modern in-pool furniture. Before you start shopping for those cute in-pool lounge chairs, you've got to consider your swimming pool design. Elizabeth Przygoda shares her more than 25 years of experience designing pools with you.
A pool ledge also referred to as a sun shelf, Baja shelf, tanning shelf, or tanning ledge, is a shallow swimming pool area designed for ease recreating outdoors. Pool ledges offer a safe place to relax in the water, providing relief from the hot sun without requiring submerging yourself in water. Not to be confused with a beach entry, pool ledges require less space and are raised platforms in your pool with a few inches up to 15" of water. What's more, these pool features can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with most spanning five feet in length and 10 feet in width.
Whether renovating an existing pool or designing a new one, custom pool builders can create and install the ideal pool ledge for you. If you want in-pool furniture in your pool, you'll need waterline depths from 0" to 15".
So just how do you decide? There are many reasons to choose a depth. A shallow 6" depth is ideal for small dogs, depths of up to 12" make a great kiddie pool, and up to 15" of water is a perfect playground for the young and young at heart. The choice comes down to who will use the pool and how you plan to use the space.
When you know you want to add in-pool lounge chairs to your sun shelf and are at the beginning of your swimming pool design, the perfect place to start is by browsing in-pool furniture. This way, you can find just what you want, so your pool ledge is designed with the proper depth from the start. If you're going to add these fun and functional accessories to your swimming pool, you'll want to measure your water depth and shop for the right in-pool furniture. If you already have a pool ledge over 15" deep, there are additional riser solutions.
In-pool loungers and tables add style and convenience to your swimming pool. Boxhill offers a variety of in-pool lounge chairs, tables and accessories designed for an array of depths. Browse the options by depth to determine what kind of tanning ledge you need to create your ideal backyard swimming pool experience.
