Can POLYWOOD furniture be used in a pool or on a tanning ledge?
POLYWOOD furniture can be used on the shallow ledge of a pool—also known as a tanning ledge or Baja shelf. However, we recommend removing it from salt water or chemically treated water as soon as you’re done using it and rinsing both the lumber and hardware with fresh water right away. This helps maintain the integrity and longevity of the furniture.
FAQs:
Q: Is POLYWOOD lumber waterproof?
A: Yes, genuine POLYWOOD lumber is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), an extremely durable and waterproof plastic.
Q: Does POLYWOOD furniture float?
A: HDPE is less dense than water, so it does float. However, we do not recommend using POLYWOOD furniture as flotation devices in swimming pools or other bodies of water. Doing so could lead to personal injury or damage to the furniture.
