These features provide a wonderful resting spot for reading, snacking, enjoying beverages, or even playing “land” games. The table may be removable, and/or have a fitting that allows the homeowner to add or remove a desirable umbrella over the table.

It’s also popular to build the table into the perimeter of the pool, with a “sunken bar” on the other side. Perfect if you really want to show off to your guests with “poolside service.”
