Buyer's Guide for Commercial Pool Furniture

Whether you're managing a resort, hotel, restaurant, or any business with a pool area, selecting the right furniture is essential. 

Here’s what you need to key into:

Durability and Materials

To ensure that commercial pool furniture is durable and can withstand the elements, it needs to face several environmental factors and challenges:


Element

Challenge

Solution 

Sunlight (UV Rays)

Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, weakening, and deterioration of materials and fabrics.

Look for UV-resistant materials, fabrics, and finishes that endure intense sun without fading or degrading.

Water and humidity

Poolside furniture is constantly exposed to water, humidity, and even pool chemicals, which can lead to corrosion and decay.

Choose materials like aluminum, stainless steel, teak, or synthetic wicker resistant to water and chemicals. Properly sealed or finished wood can also withstand moisture

Rain and weather

Rain, storms, and fluctuating temperatures can take a toll on furniture, causing swelling, warping, and cracking.

Opt for materials like polyethylene, resin wicker, and powder-coated metals designed to endure various weather conditions. Regular maintenance, such as covering furniture during heavy rain, can extend its life.

Saltwater (for coastal areas):

In coastal areas, exposure to saltwater can accelerate corrosion and rust.

Choose materials like marine-grade stainless steel or aluminum with protective coatings, as they are more resistant to saltwater damage.

Chlorine

Pool chemicals, especially chlorine, can be harsh on specific materials and finishes.

Look for furniture designed explicitly for poolside use, as they often feature materials and finishes that can withstand exposure to chlorine.

Wind and storms

Strong winds during storms can lead to furniture being blown around or damaged.

Select heavier furniture or use tie-downs or weights to secure your furniture during windy conditions.

Mold and mildew

Humid and damp conditions can promote the growth of mold and mildew on furniture.

Choose materials naturally resistant to mold, such as teak or cedar. Additionally, regular cleaning and applying mold-resistant coatings can help prevent growth.


Purpose and Space Planning

First things first, consider how you plan to use your poolside space. Are you looking to create cozy lounging areas, elegant dining spots, or a combination? Take a moment to think about your specific needs.

After which, it is crucial to plan the layout of your poolside furniture carefully. Whether you're an investor eyeing various properties or a designer with a knack for small spaces, maximizing the available space is critical. Ensure your guests have a comfortable environment to relax in.

Seating Options

When it comes to seating, you've got options! Chaise lounges, lounge chairs, sofas, and lounge beds are excellent choices for poolside seating. Whether you're a property investor, hospitality designer, or restaurant owner, ensure you have enough seating to keep your guests happy and comfortable.

Aesthetics

It doesn’t matter if you're an investor, designer, or restaurant owner, aesthetics matter. Choose commercial pool furniture that complements the design and ambiance of your pool area. Consider colors and styles that enhance your space's overall look and feel.

Save Time and Shop Online

Time is money, right? Here's a pro tip for savvy buyers: consider shopping for commercial pool furniture online.

Here’s why:

  • You can explore a wide range of options without leaving your desk or your poolside.
  • You'll have access to customer reviews and expert recommendations to make informed decisions.
  • You can compare prices, take advantage of discounts, and even discover exclusive offers.

Maintenance of Poolside Furniture

Upkeep is an integral part of business; no one likes dirty commercial pool furniture. The furniture will likely face dirt, grime, and unwanted build-up depending on how busy your poolside area is. 

To build-up your oasis to look welcoming and stay clean, here's what you need to do: 

Regular Rinsing

During peak usage, like the summer, people often use sunscreen, lotion, and other products near the pool. These substances can leave residues on your furniture. Regularly rinse your commercial pool furniture with a water hose every few days to prevent build-up.

Cleaning Routine

Clean your pool furniture weekly with a mild household cleaner to spot-clean any stains. Eraser sponges can be handy for this purpose.

Invest in Covers

Consider purchasing weatherproof covers for your commercial pool furniture. These covers protect from rain, dust, and UV rays when the furniture is. Make sure the covers fit well to prevent moisture from getting trapped inside.

Designate a Storage Area

To prevent damage, create a designated sheltered and dry storage area for your pool furniture when it's not in season or during inclement weather.
