The right pool designs can provide an attractive touch to any and all backyards and pool areas. Pool designers can create a sample plan or sketch of the best design to fit your pool site. Designs include the overall shape and outline of the pool, as well as any inlaid tile, decking options, and perimeter accessories.
Types
The most common designs include layouts of:
- Indoor, in ground swimming pools
- Neo classic styles
- Hotel swimming pools
- Tuscan pools
- Classic pools
- Mosaic pools
- Rustic outdoor pools
- Modern pools
When you're starting to think about different designs and styles, it's a good idea to work with a pool designer to make sure all the details and specifications are covered. Designing and installing your pool involves a few key steps, including:
- Choosing the location
- Selecting the right pool configuration
- Considering budget and pricing
- Site planning with the pool designer
- Shipping the pool
- Installation, assembly, and operation
Designs will depend largely on the pool configuration. The right design will depend on whether the pool is above ground, partially inground, or fully inground.
Various designs will depend on whether the pool will be:
- Partially inground for easier access
- Standard depth for swimming, seating, or just lounging
- Fully inground installation because of low ceilings or limited space
Other Considerations
Computer software for design is now available to help with the designing process. These can help identify the right size, shape, and provide a preview well before the pool is even constructed. This can help to design the pool right down to the last detail, with minimal risk. In addition to the overall look, a few other items can be incorporated into the design:
- Filtration and sanitation systems
- The pool deck
- Specific materials and systems
- Humidity control
- Lighting systems
- Safety elements
- Expansion options
- Chemical treatments and storage
- A gutter system
- Seating options
- Accessories and additions such as diving boards, whirlpool tubs, or exercise equipment
