The Pool Amenities You’ll Need for Summer

Any hopes of a mild summer have already been dashed. But the silver lining is, of course, that glorious oasis known as the backyard pool. And all that comes with it, like hand-carved beer coolers and totally unnecessary daybeds. And that’s just off the top of our heads.

FOR BOUTS OF SERIOUS LOUNGING

A Daybed Straight Out of the Hamptons

What this is: A white, waterproof chaise lounge with drink stands, an umbrella and room for two.
When you’ll use it: Anytime you’re outside and want to be horizontal. Yep. We’re confident you’ll find an occasion.

FOR KEEPING YOUR BEER COLD

The Most Wooden of Ice Chests

What this is: It’s an ice chest. But it’s a handmade, wooden ice chest available in a variety of configurations. Don’t worry, they’re all dedicated to keeping your beers frosty.
When you’ll use it: Every day, probably. But definitely when you’re entertaining friends or barbecuing by the pool. Or thirsty.

FOR STAYING DRY

It’s a Towel. A Really Nice Towel.

What this is: A light blue, dapper cotton towel reminiscent of what you’d find at Turkish hammams.
When you’ll use it: Lay it on your new daybed. Or the lawn. Or use it to dry off. It’s a towel, so... yeah, you got this.

FOR SNACK TIME

Some Unique Popsicles from Austin

What this is: Austin-based popsicles available in not-your-average flavors. Think cold-brewed coffee, hibiscus mint and watermelon agave. Then think about ordering them straight to your door.
When you’ll use it: Pool parties. Water polo halftimes. For generally staving off heatstroke.

FOR PERFECTING YOUR SHORT GAME

These Golf Greens Float in Your Pool

What this is: A bunch of turf-covered chipping greens that float in your pool. Grab a pitching wedge and try not to hit the water hazard.
When you’ll use it: Summer Fridays. Summer Tuesdays. Whenever you’ve accrued some sick days.
