Some swimming pool accessories fade from favor but sunshelves: trendy and practical have long been a great way to amp up the look and way in which you relax and enjoy your swimming pool.

You may not want to undertake a swimming pool renovation project in the height of summer, but if you’re having a new pool constructed or if you’re updating your pool, talk with your Knoxville, TN swimming pool contractor about sunshelves.

Sunshelves: trendy and practical

Sunshelves can be installed in your pool as part of a major renovation project or they can be a stand alone project and is one that won’t put your pool out of commission for overly long while they’re being constructed. What are sunshelves?

  • They can be short bench length or the length of the pool.
  • The width of a sunshelf can a few feet to one wide enough to accommodate a lounge.
  • Sunbathers enjoy sunshelves because they allow you to be partially submerged but without having to tread water or paddle around.
  • The depth of the sunshelves can be as shallow as five inches to as deep as two feet; if you go much deeper you will be submerged.
  • Depending on the sunshelf placement, it may be a great space for a child to spend time in the pool without having to worry about going underwater.
  • Sunshelves are typically placed in the shallow end and slope toward the deep end. However, you can change it if you want.
  • If you want to preserve swim space and have sun shelves have them constructed by the pool steps.
  • Sunshelf placement usually faces the pool’s “main attraction” — diving board, patio, rock waterfall or fountain.
