1. Recline positions and daybed layouts

Look for multi-position backs and flat sunbed modes for poolside. Pair two loungers with a side table so drinks stay off the deck boards.

2. Materials for Aussie UV and pool chemicals

Powder-coated aluminium and synthetic rattan handle UV and splash better than untreated timber; quick-dry foam cushions resist poolside damp.

3. Cushions, covers and storage

Removable covers that hose clean save mould issues. Store cushions undercover in wet weeks or use weatherproof boxes.

4. Footprint on balconies vs backyard lawns

Measure length when fully reclined plus walk space. Lightweight frames suit apartments; wheeled bases help on lawns and pavers.
