What you should know before building a pool?

  • If you have children at home, always design the pool with kids in mind. It’s necessary to consider their safety.
  •  The most used area of the pool is where you can sit or relax below water level, so you have to pay attention to the step and the bench areas.
  •  Try to build the steps in the pool internally or within the pool shape because these are not supposed to be external to the pool.
  •  The pool fence and steps should be designed for continuity and seamless use.
  •  Determine how often you will use the pool and set a specific water temperature. A big pool is expensive and difficult to heat irrespective of any method of pool heating. If you use a larger pool will require more energy. Always consider the size of the pool you want built in your home.
  • The pool is an extension of your home, it must be built with the right angles and lines. If you own a period home you might want to create pools which have a classic look. On the other hand, for modern homes the pool should be innovative.
  • The best method is to integrate the pool into the backyard. Create an acrylic window for the backyard so you can look over the pool from the living area.

 Selecting material and considering pool aesthetics

Pay attention to the paving, the interior tiles, and the fencing features when designing a pool.

 It’s best to combine hard and soft finishes. For example you can use potted plants and garden beds to break up the paving in your home. Wall cladding can add texture to a smooth surface. Always consider your decision before making a final choice.

Current pool designs are minimalist and do not require too many products. Before using light colored paving products, consider that they can stain and discolor easily. Its better to use a darker finish. If you are using a live product, you will have to choose material that is less likely to stain.

 The combination of a light color pool with a dark colored paving is ideal. However, if you have other ideas, speak with a Brisbane pool builder.
