We are building a large tanning deck for just the purpose of putting a couple loungers on it. These Ledge Loungers are certainly steep, but we've decided we are going to take the plunge and invest in 2 of them. Our pool is about 8-9 weeks from finishing (hopefully - we just started), so I'll try to remember to post back on our feedback.
Would love to hear of any Ledge Lounger owners in the meantime!
I did have an email correspondence with someone at the company and covered a couple questions posted above:
1. These are a bit buoyant as well - and are designed to work well in 9-10" (or less) of water. Their website says "The recommended depth for the Ledge Lounger Chaise is up to 9”. However, if your pool is already built, you can use the Ledge Lounger Chaise in up to 10" of water. We are hard at work on a non buoyant option for ledges deeper than 10" so keep checking back."
2. I noticed this on their website as well - seems maybe they absorb some water which adds weight (and preventing them from blowing or moving)??? "The Ledge Lounger Chaise weights only 35 lbs. When you receive it, you will submerge it in your pool, fill it completely with water then, pull it on to the ledge. Once in place, weighting over 100 lbs, the Ledge Lounger Chaise will stay put. Clean it in place with common household cleaners. Removing them from the pool is not necessary but if desired the Ledge Lounger Chaise is easily stackable."
Anyway - I've searched for 3 months for something similar but cheaper and nothing exists (apart from the folding one linked above, but I don't like that design).
