    Vinyl Liner safe tanning ledge furniture

    Thanks for the reply! I did try and search the forum and found several threads around furniture for tanning/sun ledges, but in most of them it appeared that replies weren't specifying what type of pool they had. So i couldn't tell which ones would be good for vinyl liners.
