Outdoor pools come with a number of accessories for their enjoyment and maintenance. If you’ve recently added one to your backyard, consider adding a dedicated pool shed or transforming your current utility shed into a space for housing pool-related items. Here are three reasons you’ll be glad you did.

Top 3 Pool Shed Benefits

1. Less Clutter

Pool toys and tools often end up scattered around the perimeter, creating a cluttered look. It’s also potentially hazardous, since the pool is just a few feet away and the surrounding pavement is often wet. If you are tired of constantly picking up flotation devices or putting the skimmer back in its rightful place, a utility shed dedicated to this equipment will result in an aesthetically-pleasing, safer swimming area.

2. Accessory & Equipment Protection

Allowing pool toys and accessories to remain outdoors dramatically shortens their lifespan. Plastic rafts, for example, fade quickly under the summer sun and may become cracked and brittle. A utility shed protects toys and accessories so you can enjoy them longer.

3. Better Organization

Placing all of your pool-related items in a utility shed also provides the opportunity to organize. Use shelves and plastic bins to store like items so you won’t have to waste precious pool time searching for a beach ball or the pool vacuum. When you can find everything you need quickly, you’ll spend more time swimming with friends and family.
