Is there a reason you want bar height dining table and chairs? I also find that particular style quite bulky looking.

Neither. I see beige tile surrounding a turquoise pool - full view of a road and a home next door? Extend the tile first, plan some blocking of view landscaping, and then decide a table and chairs, NOT high top ?

That furniture is super unattractive. No to either.

I agree plain ugly furniture but why that set at all. No stool type seating just a nice simple dining table and chairs and I like the tuquoise color to give the space some llife I do agree you need a fence ,where I live you can't have a pool unless it is fenced but I am not a big privacy nut but really none in thta space is just not a good plan.How will that space be enlarged since there must be rulles about disatnce from property lines . I see fences so obviously allowed . Something like this maybe for the dining area not that large maybe

Our original plan was a tiki hut, but decided it’s too permanent, then a pergola bit in Florida they are 20,000 because of hurricane building codes. Our next thought is to build a 3ftx7 ft bar surrounded in brick with maybe a granite counter top and a see thru fireplace underneath but might cost too much.
I selected this furniture because it’s heavy for Florida storms..and will last.

If you go with the Polywood type furniture, choose all one color, not two tone. Also recommend regular table height. Good luck.

You don't want heavy furniture, specially if you plan to age in place with it. Also the furniture isn't really heavy enough to stay put if you have real winds. You are better off with lightweight furniture you can easily carry inside or to the garage when you get a storm.

I lived in the foothills of LA when I bought my expensive wrought iron furniture. It easily withstood 60 mph gusts. I moved it to FL and now hate that it is so heavy as we get older.

We ended up installing retractable hurricane screens on the covered lanai, so we don't have to try to move the heavy furniture. I also installed sunbrella curtains on one side of my pool screen cage, because a neighbor has a camera pointing in our direction.

Our Storm Smart hurricane screens are similar to these. I also use these for sun control in the morning.

The lanai curtains are like these. We only did one side, as that was all we needed.

When extending your patio I would also consider installing either a fence of hedges for privacy and to hide all the business we see in the background.

If you want polywood furniture, I would suggest a regular table height for comfort. A white (all one colour) would look nice with all the beige/taupe patio tiles.

Yes I like that thank you!!! The blue umbrella still adds a coastal feel

Agree with chispa, no to heavy furniture. It will not withstand the winds, could end up in your pool or break windows. It has to be moved. Been in FL since 1990 and through a lot of storms.

For screening your house from the road and your neighbors consider a hedge with Areca Palms and/or Pitch Apple. They both grow quickly, do pretty well with hurricanes and grow back quickly.

No to the bar height 2-tone furniture.

Does Polywood not belong by a pool?

After extending patio…..add landscape for privacy..no high top table…I would keep furniture neutral.

Polywood is just fine for pool area..but I would consider a different style that is offered like these.

I lived in Florida and in high winds the heavy looking polywood furniture they had by the pool did not resist to the wind, they had to either stack everything or even bring it indoors.
