When it comes to building a swimming pool, you may be wondering what shape is best for the space that you have. There are many shapes that you can consider, but you need to take into account several factors. Some of the factors include the amount of space you have allotted for your pool, the lay of the land, and the size of the family that will be using the pool. You should also consider whether or not you will be entertaining and having guests over to swim frequently.
– Round Pools
If space is not a problem and you have the need for a larger pool you may want to consider building a round pool. Round pools come in a variety of sizes, but generally speaking a round pool will take up much more space than a rectangular pool.
– Irregular Shape
The pools of today do not necessarily need to be a specific shape. Many people that have the space for irregular pools will choose to design that does not follow a specific shape. With an irregular shaped pool you will be able to express your sense of style and whimsy more freely.
– Rectangular Pools
The rectangular shaped pool is the most traditional shape of all. Typically you will see rectangular shaped pools at public facilities such as gyms and public recreation areas. Many homeowners decide on the rectangular shape because it saves space as well as being practical.
– Square Pools
Square pools are much like round pools in that they take up more space than the traditional rectangular shape. They are, however complementary to home design that is more modern and has more angular features. Keep in mind that if you are planning on having a large pool and you like the square shape, you will need a good amount of space.
– Oval Pools
Many decades ago oval pools were considered glamorous and were at the height of their popularity. Recently, the oval pool has made a comeback. Oval pools can save a little more space than round or square pools and have a more pleasing design than a basic rectangular shaped pool. It is a perfect compromise of form and function.
Pools can come in just about any shape you can imagine. It is important though to know what you have to work with as far as a budget and as far as space. You must be able to accommodate any expenses that may exceed the originally planned budget. Also, be sure to use an experienced contractor that has been building pools for several years. Make sure that they are licensed and insured properly before signing a contract. It is also a good idea to read customer reviews regarding their previous work. If there are any issues with the company you will probably find out about it in the customer reviews. With some careful consideration and planning you will be able to have the pool of your dreams that you and your family can enjoy for many years to come.
