FIBERGLASS TANNING LEDGE SHAPE OPTIONS

You already know that tanning ledges make a beautiful addition to your swimming pool (which you can view a few stunning examples of here). However, tanning ledges are more than just attractive decorations — they also add functionality to your fiberglass pool!

Also known as “sun shelves” or “Baja shelves,” tanning ledges offer a spot to lounge and soak up some extra rays without having to leave the water. They can also be used as benches, making them perfect for pool parties, entertaining, or any occasion where you need some extra pool seating. Plus, their placement gives you a fun spot in the center of the action — not from a distance on your deck. Whether you want to enjoy a cocktail, a book, a nap, or a party, tanning ledges help you get more mileage (and more fun!) out of any pool size or design.

Tanning ledges are available in a variety of sizes and styles. That means you have a range of options to choose from, but you will also need to think carefully about the dimensions of your pool — and how you plan to use it. Most tanning ledges measure at least seven to eight feet long, which provides ample room for one person to stretch out comfortably or a small group of people to share as a bench. You may want to install multiple ledges and/or leave space for additional pool features, which will also impact the size and placement of each ledge.

Tanning ledges create more opportunities to socialize, entertain, relax, and unwind. They also add a touch of distinction, increasing the beauty and elegance of your pool for a fully functional showpiece. Whether you’re spending quality time with your children, soaking up rays with your dog, or chatting with your new neighbor, a tanning shelf offers something for everyone.
