Most of us treat the pool like a summer fling. We open it in May, forget about it by September, and let the floats pile up in a corner until next year.
But a pool is a year-round commitment, even when it's covered. The chemicals, the skimmers, and the noodles all need somewhere to live in the off-season too. We've already covered how a cordless pool vacuum keeps the water itself guest-ready without the manual labor, and storage is the other half of that equation. Here are five upgrades to keep the clutter contained no matter the month, and most of them are on sale right now.
Five pool storage upgrades worth adding to your yard
Poolhacker Poolside Storage Basket
The two-pack of poolside baskets clips onto the pool rail and includes a built-in cup holder.
No one likes getting out of the pool once they're in it. This two-pack of poolside baskets clips onto your above-ground pool rail and includes a built-in cup holder, so there's a spot for drinks and anything else you might want handy while you chill. It's rated 4.6 stars, and right now you can clip the on-page coupon and the price drops to $22.49 (MSRP $29.99).
StorageWorks Pool Float Storage Bin
The 340-gallon rolling bin has a mesh body and wheels for moving it in and out of the garage.
Easily wheel your pool toys and gear from your shed right onto your pool deck. This rolling storage bin holds 340 gallons, with a mesh body so wet floats can air-dry after they're packed away, plus wheels for rolling it into the garage once the pool is covered for the season. You can also clip the coupon, which cuts the price nearly in half to $62.99 (MSRP $125.99).
Suncast Tall Storage Cabinet
The 72-inch freestanding cabinet has shelving inside and a slide lock at the top and bottom.
Tall cabinets are perfect for pool equipment because everything sits up high, not shoved on a low shelf where kids can get into it. This 72-inch freestanding cabinet is built from multi-wall resin with shelving inside, giving chemicals, covers, and other off-season pool gear a closed-off spot instead of a shelf in the garage. It has a slide lock at both the top and bottom, with the option to add a small padlock so kids, or anyone else, can't get in, and one verified buyer said they use it on their pool patio specifically to keep chemicals and supplies away from their grandkids. It's rated 4.6 stars from 880 ratings, and it runs $248.37.
Rubbermaid Outdoor Storage Bench
The 32-gallon resin bench doubles as seating for two while storing gear underneath.
Who says storage has to be ugly and in the way? Add a few pillows to this 32-gallon resin bench and you've got functional seating, not just storage. Double-wall construction lets two adults sit on top while it holds pool chemicals, noodles, cushions, or garden tools underneath. Currently $239.87.
Mesh Storage Bags for Toys, Pool Noodles, and Floats
The 4-pack includes three small zippered bags and one large open bag with tie straps.
This 4-pack of mesh bags, three small zippered bags and one large open bag with tie straps for carrying to and from the pool, is an Amazon's Choice pick for sorting noodles, floats, and toys into grab-and-go groups instead of one big pile. Priced at $11.99, it's an easy, affordable way to finally get your act together.
