Tips for Getting New Outdoor Swimming Pools

5/16/2017

 
You’ve set up a home, whether it be as a couple, with friends or as a family, you want to add a pool to your garden or yard. Building a pool can be a large investment in time and money so it requires research, knowledge and a thought out plan of action.
Here are some tips to help you plan your new outdoor swimming pool:

  1. Think of the shape and the size
Think about what type of design will suit your current home, how much space you have available and what will suit your lifestyle. You can select above ground designs or in ground ones, concrete, vinyl of fibreglass, all depending on your budget, time and needs. Most pools come in basic geometric shapes like square, circle of rectangle but you can also get more outrageous custom made pool shapes. 
  1. How to style your pool
Pools nowadays come with lots of different features, it all depends on your personal tastes. Wood can appear more rustic but tiles are more contemporary whilst infinity pools scream luxury. Pools decks can be added to lots of different sorts of pools, when added to above ground designs it can really elevate the style of your garden, there are also swim up bars, wading pools, rock formations or vanishing edges that can personalize the area. There are also a multitude of decorative features like waterfalls, sculptures and lighting. Think about how your garden looks, does it have a rustic feel or an Asian inspired theme?
  1. Landscaping 
Landscaping can be what sets apart an average pool area into a beautiful romantic garden area, a tropical oasis or a mischievous grotto. Some families with young children or animal chose to surround the pool area with a border or fence for safety or privacy. Flowers and foliage is a great way of cover up or distracting the eye from the swimming pool equipment and mechanics.
  1. Upkeep
An outdoor swimming pool area must be regularly maintained, making sure the water is clean and the chemical balance is consistent. Dirt, leaves and any other foreign particles must be removed from the swimming pool, this relies heavily on the water circulation and filtration system. Pool upkeep may seem a tedious task but it’s a vital one as it can be detrimental to your health.

  1. Safety first 
Anything where there is a large pool of water will pose a threat no matter how young or old they are. Make sure that some form of safety equipment is available at all times and that necessary warning signs are installed, even if it’s just your home.
   
    4. Safety Concerns & Responsibility

With a swimming pool right in your yard, there will always be a large pool of water that can pose a danger to anyone who within its perimeter. Always ensure that safety equipment’s are made easily available at all times or all necessary warning signs are installed at the appropriate places even though it is in your home. Safety first.
