We have a couple Ledge Loungers that sit on our sun shelf. Our shelf water depth is just on the edge of having to do the regular vs deep chairs. We opted to go with the regular so we would sit deeper in the water understanding that they may float a bit...and the foot rest end did by about 1".
Being the engineer that I am, I Amazoned some stainless steel shot bags used to weigh down wakeboard boats. I cut them open and funneled the shot into the chair and..PRESTO...no floating! Perfect until this winter....
A month ago I noticed the the backs of the chairs were bulging I'm the middle (see pics). They are now convex instead of slightly concave. The only thing I can think of is that there was a slight reaction between the water and steel that caused some off gassing which increased pressure inside.
I opened the plugs but there didnt appear to be much so I refilled w water and put them back in the water. The bulges stayed so its 'set' in place.
Has anyone else seen this and possibly have a solution? I am thinking that I need to drain water and use a heat gun.
