Resorts in the South recognize that pool accessories are necessary for a memorable experience under the sun. The summer season is hot and sunny, and there’s nothing better than cooling off with a good swim. After a grueling day at work, relaxing under the sun by your pool is a priceless gift.
However, this little haven of peace does require some maintenance. We are talking about pool cleaning chores, such as cleaning the filter or vacuuming the bottom of the pool. In addition to these chores, your pool area should be well landscaped to promote relaxation. Designing around your pool is an investment in your own little piece of paradise. It is therefore important to fill your decor with elements that will contribute to your well-being.
Do you know which items are essential to ensure optimal comfort around your pool? Our landscaping experts have “delved into the question” and found the 3 ultimate pool accessories. Learn more about these accessories and why they are essential to making your summer more enjoyable.
Pool accessories: patio umbrellas
What’s the first thing you notice around the pools of resorts in the South? It’s the neat rows of comfortable lounge chairs and colorful patio umbrellas. Our neighbors in the South were quick to realize that comfort was paramount to making the most of a pool terrace.
After a refreshing dip in the pool, a little relaxation on a lounge chair is much appreciated. However, what really makes this moment enjoyable is the shade offered by the umbrella. That way, you can doze off peacefully on your lounger knowing that you will be protected from sun rays.
In addition, parasols have greatly improved in recent years, there are many models of patio umbrellas that you can choose. You can choose between a straight or an articulated arm model, and between a mobile or a fixed one. However, no matter which model of parasol you need, we always recommend that you deal with a specialized store. Not only will your products be more durable, but you will also have access to expert advice on how to position them on your terrace and maintain them properly.
Mobile or fixed?
Everything depends on your design plans. If you are the type of person who changes your terrace every 2 years, the mobile model is more beneficial because it can be moved. On the other hand, if you plan to keep your terrace as it is for many years, it is better to opt for a fixed parasol.
Articulated or straight?
Straight parasols are ideal if your terrace is smaller or if you have a limited decoration budget. However, for large terraces, we strongly recommend articulated parasols. You can easily place them by a table and enjoy a good meal with friends under their protection.
Shade sails as pool accessories
Shade sails are also interesting pool accessories. They play the same role as parasols and allow you to keep yourself protected from the sun’s harmful rays. They are also available in many shapes. The Bellon Prestige Group has over 500 colors and patterns to choose from allowing you to customize your cover the way you want.
In addition to adding a touch of elegance around your pool, you can install a shade sail over your children’s sandbox to protect them from the sun.
Shade sails are designed for 3 seasons, so you need to be able to store them during winter. If you are short on space at home, we offer storage in one of our heated, insured and secure facilities. Properly storing your custom awnings or shade sails will extend your investment for many years.
We also offer a cleaning or waterproofing service, and we can come to you. You won’t even have to leave your home.
The new pool accessory: the patio heater
The weather is warm, but when you get out of the pool, are you shivering? The cool breeze is not very pleasant after a good swim. With a patio heater on your pool terrace, you can warm up and lay back on your lounge chair for a moment of pure relaxation.
When it comes to patio heaters, we strongly recommend an electric model, as it does not emit any unpleasant odors that could affect your comfort. It also heats the surfaces, not the air, so you’ll stay warm even on windy days.
Installing an electric patio heater is a good investment but you will need the help of an experienced electrician. Come by the Bellon Prestige Group; we have many electricians to recommend.
