How to Easily Make DIY Pool Chairs For Sitting & Paddling
If you've ever sat by the edge of a pool, your back begins to hurt after a while. Ladies (or men in Speedos), we all know how the seat of our swimsuits gets those little pullers in them... so here's the perfect poolside solution!
Here's how to make DIY pool chairs that allow you to dangle your feet in the water:
Hometalk Recommends!
1. Grab plastic chairs
Purchase basic plastic chairs.
2. Measure where to cut
Measure from the ground up where you want to make your cuts and mark with a Sharpie. I measured 14" from the ground up.
3. Apply tape
Lay a piece of painter's tape across the leg of the chair using the marks you made. This will give you a straight, clean line to make your cut.
4. Cut off the legs
Using a reciprocating saw, cut along the top edge of the tape and remove all four legs.
5. Sand
Sand the edges of the chair legs where you made the cuts.
DIY pool chairs
This is what your chair should look like after you've removed the legs.
Place your chairs by the edge of the pool, sit down, and comfortably enjoy the water without ruining your swimsuit seat or giving yourself a back ache. Cheers!

Prefer poolside cushions (smaller to store, cushier on the bum, no back to trip/tip over).
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How do you get in and out f them?
How does this address a backache or pinching seat problem? Same chair back, same chair seat.
Great refreshing concept, your poolside patio chair w seat back …….How do you get into a chair that sits on a pool’s edge? My imagination reasons that you would need an underlying swivel feature to immerse legs/feet into the pool! Stymied.
