Cannonballs, backstrokes and pool floats make your Westhampton, NY, pool a fun place to splash and play during warm weather months. But it could be even more enjoyable. Masonry can add the fun and relaxation with a permanent place to lay back and soak in the cool water in a comfortable way. Masons are full of innovative ideas these days when it comes to adding furniture in your pool so that you can fully enjoy your swimming pool. Read on and we’ll share some truly unique and eye-catching ideas that you can use to make your in-ground pool the place you never want to leave.
Chaise Lounge
Half in, half out, or all the way submerged, integrated chaise lounges are the perfect way to really lay back and soak up the sun. Paired up in groups of two or more, these chairs can be flanked by integrated side tables for your favorite beverage or sizzling summer paperback. Pool chaises can be added anywhere in your pool, but may work best as a sidecar section to your main swimming area, in a shallow, easy-to-access space. There are a number of different modern in-pool chaise lounge chairs to choose from, so ask your masons or landscapers what they would suggest to meet your relaxation needs. Laying out by the pool—why not lay in the pool instead?

Either way, tiered benches can help you and your guests enjoy the water with comfort and ease. Not only is this a masonry feature designed for rest and relaxation, but tiered benches can also be installed for safety, providing young children and new swimmers a place to rest in deep water.
