Important aspects to keep in mind
If you are thinking of adding specific in-pool furniture in your tanning ledge, the first thing you should know for sure is how deep the water is on the platform of your pool (also known as a sunbathing area, wet solarium or tanning ledge). Otherwise, your loungers may float and you may not achieve the desired effect.
It is true that there are a large number of types of pools on the market: infinity, elevated, infinity, at ground level, with a waterfall, etc. Each of them has been designed differently and, probably, each one will have a different height of water. However, this should not be a problem. We simply recommend that you carefully measure the height of the water in your pool and, consequently, choose the loungers for the interior of your pool that are perfectly adapted to it.
If, on the other hand, you are currently designing or building a new pool with a platform, we recommend that you take into account the usual measurements of furniture for the interior of the pool, since having these measurements in mind will save you a lot of trouble. long-term, such as not finding furniture that will fit on your pool deck.
Measure the depth of the water of the platform of your swimming pool in 3 Steps
If you already have a pool with a platform, follow these simple steps to correctly measure the height of the water in this area:
1.- If your pool has an automatic filling system, start it up until it is finished. Newly built pools usually have it. If your pool is older, we recommend that you fill it up to the optimal fill level that your builder has recommended.
It is very important to follow this step rigorously so that you can measure correctly and without errors.
2.- Place a tape measure (preferably a metal one, in which the height can be set) at the bottom of the platform.
3.- Look how far the water reaches on the tape measure. That is the water height of your platform.
Recommended height on the platform of your pool
If you are still in the design or construction phase of your pool, you still have time to set the ideal water depth for you with your builder.
For reference, you should know that the water depth of the platform usually ranges from 10 to 38 cm. Within this range, the choice of height will depend, to a large extent, on the use that is going to be given to this area.
For example, if you are going to use the platform or tanning ledge as a play area for children or pets, the ideal is that the height of the water should be a maximum of 30 cm.
However, if the main use is for adults, the height will depend on whether you want the body to be more or less submerged in the water once sitting on the pool lounger.
It is possible that, if your pool is not newly built, you will discover with this post that the depth of the pool water is not in the recommended range. Do not panic! We have good news for you: the In-Pool Furniture Collection line of Lux Loungers has risers to place under your lounger or chair. In this way, most customers manage to solve the problem of having a water depth that is too low or high.
Why is the height of the water so important?
You may have wondered why we are so insistent that you correctly measure the water depth of your rig. It is not a whim. We tell you.
The furniture for the interior of the Lux Loungers pool is not fixed to the bottom of your platform with an anchor, but stays in place, once it is filled with water from the pool. In other words, we managed to make the pieces heavy enough so that they don’t float, but not so heavy that you can’t move them from one side to the other.
It is, therefore, very important that you choose the furniture correctly, making sure that the lounger, chair or table you choose has been designed for the depth of the water on your platform. In this way, the result will not only be very aesthetic and functional, but you also make sure that it is safe for the user.
Conclusion
Having a platform in the pool is a trend, but having loungers in the water is the best. By choosing the correct furniture, you will turn that area of water into a place of leisure, fun and relaxation.
