There’s no better feeling than popping out of a swimming pool or hot tub after a nice long swim or soak and drying off with a fluffy, fresh, luxurious towel – but that’s going to be a lot harder to do without trudging into the house (soaking wet, we had) without having a quality towel rack close at hand.
Sure, you could sling your towels over the backs of your outdoor furniture or pile them up by the swimming pool ladder. But that’s always going to involve a lot more headache and hassle – not to mention some damp towels getting your furniture wet in a hurry – that dedicated towel racks eliminate completely.
Inexpensive and unobtrusive, the best towel rack isn’t just going to make storing and organizing your towels a lot easier when you want to go for swim. It’s also going to help you dry your towels without having to run multiple loads of laundry every time you go for a dip.
And that’s why we have put together this quick guide to help you find the best pool towel racks on the market today!

Features of this product:
- Easy to assemble water weight table base
- Keeps towels dry and handy
- Great for storing masks and goggles
- Nice white color means it stays cool in the sun
It’s the Hydrotools outdoor towel rack! It sits by the pool, and it racks up towels. Granted, it’d be best if you kept it to racking up your own poolside towels and not the property and undergarments of friends and strangers, but a simple inanimate object can’t be expected to observe social conventions by itself. It’s made of plastic, and its four racks hold plenty of towels, ski masks, and goggles, in addition to the (hopefully not soon to be pilfered) property of poolside relatives and friends. Thou shalt not pilfer by the pool!
