Tanning Ledge

Level:
2 - Intermediate

A tanning ledge is a shallow area of a pool, typically 4 to 8 inches in depth, designed for lounging, sunbathing, and relaxation. Also known as a Baja shelf or sun shelf, this feature provides the ideal space for placing in-water lounge chairs, dipping feet, or simply reclining in shallow water while soaking in the sun. Beyond leisure, tanning ledges are versatile zones that also serve as safe areas for children and pets to enjoy the pool environment. With their combination of function and elegance, tanning ledges have become defining elements of modern luxury waterscapes.
