Patio Ready, Pool Approved: Tenjam’s All-Season Chairs Built for Every Element

As outdoor living trends evolve, the versatility of pool and patio furniture is becoming a priority for homeowners who want seamless transitions between seasons. With the introduction of three new chairs—the Freelo Chair, the Laylo Lounger, and the Woosah Adirondack (introduced last season) —Tenjam is addressing this need by offering products that perform equally well in and out of the pool. These new additions not only complement Tenjam’s popular lineup but also hold up to the elements, allowing homeowners to enjoy their backyard spaces throughout the year.

Mike Collins, President of Tenjam, recently shared insights into these products during an interview, emphasizing the thoughtful design and practicality behind them. “When we design a product, we’re looking at versatility,” Collins explained. “We want furniture that’s not only comfortable but also easy to move in and out of the pool.”

New Versatile Pool & Patio Furniture From Tenjam

Tenjam has quickly established itself as a market leader in pool and patio furniture, gaining widespread recognition with the release of the Shayz Lounger—a product that set a new standard for in-pool comfort with its sleek design and ergonomic features. Now, Tenjam is doubling down on its success with the introduction of three exciting new chairs: the Freelo Chair, the Laylo Lounger, and the versatile Woosah Chair. These additions showcase the brand’s intelligent design blending form, function, and durability, and we’re eager to see them on display at this year’s International Pool Spa Patio Expo in Dallas.

Introducing the Freelo Chair: A Compact Solution for Pool and Patio

The Freelo Chair is one of Tenjam’s newest innovations. It was developed to meet a growing demand for compact in-pool seating. According to Collins, the idea emerged from customer feedback. “Our earlier chairs were great—comfortable, but wide. Some customers were looking for smaller options for sun shelves with limited space,” Collins said.

The Freelo Chair’s unique selling point lies in its ease of use. It features Tenjam’s proprietary speed-fill system, allowing it to fill with water automatically when placed in the pool and drain quickly when removed. This feature makes it ideal for seasonal transitions, as Collins highlighted: “As the seasons change, the Freelo chairs can live happily on the patio. When fall gatherings start, it’s as easy as pulling them from the pool and placing them around the firepit.”

In addition to its functionality, the Freelo Chair offers durability with its rotomolded polyethylene construction. “The same chair can be used poolside in summer and by the firepit in winter without any wear or fading,” Collins added. “It’s really a year-round piece.”

Laylo Lounger: Comfort, Functionality, and Affordability

Another exciting release from Tenjam is the Laylo Lounger, designed to compete with narrower in-pool loungers on the market. This new addition offers the same ergonomic design as the popular Shayz Lounger but in a more compact profile. “With the Laylo Lounger, you get all the comfort of our Shayz Lounger without the armrests, making it perfect for deeper pools and smaller spaces,” Collins explained.

The Laylo Lounger also introduces a two-piece design that simplifies shipping and distribution. “We’ve engineered it to fit into a FedEx ground-sized box,” Collins shared. “This gives our dealers fixed shipping costs and ensures consistent margins, which is crucial for business.” Homeowners also benefit from the product’s lightweight, modular design, which makes it easy to assemble and move.

Additionally, the Laylo Lounger includes an innovative weighting option. “We offer pool weights that fit into the front and backrest pieces, so homeowners can fully submerge the lounger’s leg rest in deeper pool areas,” Collins said. This feature enhances versatility, ensuring the chair performs well in varying water depths, including pools with sun shelves up to 18 inches deep.

Woosah: A Versatile Adirondack For Pool & Patio

Tenjam’s Woosah Chair offers a fresh, ergonomic twist on the traditional Adirondack chair. Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, the Woosah Chair fits seamlessly into various outdoor settings—from poolside lounging to cozy firepit gatherings. “We really designed the Woosah to be the modern Adirondack consumers have been searching for,” explained Mike Collins, President of Tenjam. “Traditional Adirondacks are flat, plank-based, and after a while, you wish you had a cushion. With the Woosah, we’ve created a contoured bucket seat with built-in lumbar support, making it far more comfortable for extended use.”

The Woosah Chair is not just limited to poolside enjoyment. Its lightweight, durable design allows for easy movement between spaces. “We’ve had people tell us it’s the most comfortable pool chair they’ve ever sat in,” explained Collins. Designed to fit a range of body types, the Woosah Chair provides unmatched comfort. “At a recent show, we had a guy who was 6’6″ and over 350 pounds sit in it, and he told us it was the first in-pool chair he’s ever felt comfortable in,” shared Collins.

With its modern design, ergonomic construction, and all-weather durability, the Woosah Chair is a perfect choice for homeowners seeking furniture that performs year-round, whether it’s placed poolside in summer or around a firepit in winter.

Built for All Seasons and Outdoor Settings

Tenjam’s commitment to durability and longevity is evident in the materials they use. Both the Freelo Chair and the Laylo Lounger are crafted through rotomolding, a process that forms polyethylene products known for their strength and UV resistance. “The same process is used to make trash cans and kayaks—products designed to withstand outdoor conditions for years,” Collins noted. “Whether it’s chlorine, salt, or freezing temperatures, these chairs are built to last.”

This durability makes Tenjam’s furniture ideal for use throughout fall and winter. “The Laylo Lounger is perfect for enjoying a pool on a warm fall day, but it also works great around a patio heater or firepit in winter,” Collins explained. “You don’t have to worry about moving it indoors; it’s made to handle the elements.”

Versatility that Shines in Any Season

Beyond their functionality in the pool, Tenjam’s new chairs offer practical benefits for homeowners who want adaptable outdoor spaces. Collins shared a story of a customer who appreciated the ease of switching from poolside relaxation to entertaining guests around a firepit. “He told me, ‘It only takes 15 seconds to move the Woosah chairs from the pool to the patio. It’s effortless, and I love that,’” Collins recalled.

This adaptability is a key selling point for homeowners preparing for fall and winter. “These products are not just pool furniture; they’re versatile pieces you can use all year,” Collins said. “You can set them up on the porch, around the firepit, or even use them indoors if you want. The goal is to give people options without compromising on comfort.”

Tenjam Chairs: Elevating Outdoor Spaces with Thoughtful Design

With a focus on modern design, ergonomic comfort, and year-round functionality, Tenjam’s new products offer a fresh take on outdoor living. Homeowners looking for furniture that can transition seamlessly from pool to patio will find these new releases a perfect fit.

As the outdoor season shifts from summer to fall, Tenjam’s new lineup promises to keep homeowners comfortable, whether by the pool, the firepit, or the porch. “Our goal is to make furniture that fits into your lifestyle, no matter the season,” Collins said. “We’re excited to share these new products and can’t wait to see how people use them.”
