Nothing screams summertime like lake days and barbecue. Combine the two and you've got a bunch of happy campers (literally). If you're considering splurging on something that will take lake days to the next level, look no further than this floating picnic table. Use it as a floating bar for the adults (beer pong anyone?) or a floating picnic table for the entire family. Eating lunch while staying cool in the water sounds like a dream come true. It's a great gift for boat owners, but you don't need a boat or the lake to enjoy this floating bar.
Set it up in the in-ground swimming pool for a nice shaded area to enjoy throughout the day. Think of all the times you've gotten sunburn or a little dizzy from sitting out in the sun all afternoon. Having a shaded area to relax in this summer is much needed -- especially if you'll be outdoors in 90+ degree weather. We love sunshine, but when it gets too hot, we normally retreat indoors to recover. Now, you can still enjoy a little heat, but with some shade and some nice cool water around you.
Not only will you get to enjoy this awesome water day essential, but so will your friends and family. Hosting a pool party this summer is a must for pool owners, so be ready to treat your guests! You can fill the table with snacks, drinks, and even burgers and hot dogs. Parents will love being able to enjoy the shaded area in the water as they watch their little ones swim.

Here's your chance to have a poolside bar at home! No home renovations required, just a little elbow grease. Putting this 5-piece bar shouldn't be too much of a hassle -- if any problems occur during the setup issue, reach out to MK, a made in the USA company. It also has a pop-up canopy and comes with a cooler.
The 5-piece bar fits on any size boat, and one customer mentioned it fit in the back of their SUV and called it completely portable. It comes with a carry case that fits each section along with the pop-up canopy. Take it to the lake or the neighbor's house this summer for a good time with friends and family. This is definitely one of those awesome summertime products the kids will look back on and think about how it created a special spot for family bonding. Now, all you need to do is gather up some card games to play on the table. Giant UNO or dominoes would be a blast.
