Having an inground pool is already an enjoyable, resplendent luxury. There’s one way to add extra flair and utility to your inground pool. And, of course, that candle on the top is a tanning ledge or a sun shelf!
You are already doing your physical and mental health a world of good; why not go a little further by integrating a tanning ledge?
Fitting your inground pool with a tanning ledge has never been easier, and the benefits have never been more apparent. More customizable and affordable than ever, read on to decide if you’re willing to take the plunge and have one built into your inground swimming pool.
What Does an Inground Pool With a Tanning Ledge Let You Do?
Let’s address the most obvious question first. What will you get from having a tanning ledge or a sun shelf in your pool?
For starters, there’s the obvious. Sometimes, you want to dip in the water but don’t want to swim. We all have those days when you’d rather take a relaxing watery soak in the sun.
You can also add furniture to the pool, like Ledge Lounger chairs. There’s nothing quite like laying in the sun with your feet in the pool and your favorite drink by your side. It’s one of the best ways to enjoy your swimming pool! If you want to access quick shade, you can have an umbrella built into the tanning ledge.
Tanning ledges greatly benefit family members who suffer from mobility issues. They’ll be able to navigate the pool with far greater ease.
Family safety is also a potential lifesaver if you have children. You’ll still have to keep an eye on them, of course, but you can at least rest assured knowing they are in shallower water.
If you are already itching to have this aquatic wonderland, you’ll wonder about its customization and how it will fit your pool.
Is a Sun Shelf Right For My Pool: Sizes, Shapes, and Styles
Are you interested in a sun shelf? Then rejoice; sun shelves and tanning ledges are excellent, and you can customize them to fit almost any swimming pool.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a rectangle pool, a square pool, or any other kind of pool. Even a small pool with a tanning ledge will have options to fit your needs.
Stand-alone tanning ledges are also unique. The shallow area is basically attached to the pool; however, it is separated by a ledge, retaining wall or waterfall. Add a few bubblers and viola!
You’ll have a choice of designs and unlimited customizations. But are you worried it will not fit into your budget? It’s vital to speak with a professional pool builder about the cost of building it within a new custom pool or as an add-on during a pool renovation project.
Will it be a Stand-alone Tanning Edge or Another Type?
The better you understand an inground pool with a tanning ledge, the more likely you’ll get your money’s worth. First, choose a reputable pool builder who pays attention to the quality of their work and the design of the individual swimming pool.
As we have also referred to as sun shelves in this guide, tanning ledges are a growing hot trend for homeowners. Do you own or manage a resort, condo, townhome or other property and are looking to build a new pool or renovate an existing one? Tanning ledges where people can lounge, and children can play are a perfect add-on.
Do not waste time or money potentially outfitting your pool with the wrong design that is not cost-effective for your property and lifestyle. Instead, please take a look at Cox Pools. Feel free to view the gallery to get ideas, then contact Cox for consultation with absolutely no obligation.
