Having your own swimming pool can give your family countless hours of fun. To make the most of your investment, you need the right design. Before starting pool construction, carefully craft your design around a few key elements so that your pool will perfectly meet your family’s needs.

3 Factors to Consider for a Pool Construction Design

1. Proximity to Other Features

Your pool should complement your existing backyard features, such as property easements and large trees. For the best results, choose an area close to your property boundaries to preserve yard space. Additionally, make sure the pool is in a bright area that receives some shade so that swimmers have the option to retreat from the sun.

2. Size

Opt for a larger design if you’ll have several people using your pool regularly. However, be mindful that a pool’s size can affect its maintenance needs. Larger pools take more time to clean and are harder to heat, which can limit how frequently your family wants to jump in for a dip and increase your energy bills.

3. Usage

Typically, backyard pools aren’t suitable for diving or swimming laps. Although kids love to swim around, adults tend to enjoy areas where they can sit and relax in the water. Your pool design should incorporate steps, benches, or sloped areas so that it can be enjoyed by swimmers of all ages.
