How to choose the best pool for your family
Once your swimming pool has been installed, it’s too late to decide you want a new shape or to have it placed in a new location — well unless you have the budget for a total renovation, that is! Your swimming pool — and there truly are no bad pools or bad decisions, will be a permanent structure and piece of your home’s landscape and will add to the aesthetics and relaxation you and your family enjoy.
Avoiding pre-construction pool blunders will help assure you have the pool of your dreams once the construction dust has settled.
Some choices you will need to make during the pool construction process include:
Building material. Concrete is the most durable, and the most expensive. This material though has virtually no limits on the size and shape of your pool. Fiberglass is cost effective both for construction and for ongoing maintenance. Fiberglass pools are pre-formed structures that are delivered to your home in one piece and settled into the excavated area. A vinyl liner pool allows for more flexible shapes than a fiberglass and is a choice of many pool owners.
Have a budget in mind before you start meeting with potential swimming pool contractors. When you talk with a pool contractor ask for references from current and past customers, how long they’ve been in business, what is involved in the process and how long it will take. Make certain the contractor has insurance and ask for a copy. Don’t skimp on the pool equipment, the money you pay up front will help you either save money or the equipment will last longer.
Know what kind of accessories you want in your pool. You may want a diving board or slide or sun shelves, a rock waterfall, fountain, a spa or hot tub built into one end of the pool, beach entry or many others. Don’t forget to look at a pool cover — not as an accessory, but as a necessary part of your pool construction project.
Your in ground swimming pool is a great staycation spot, an ideal place to build memories with friends and family and is a party waiting to happen. Make certain, when you’re planning for your pool project, that you also budget for the pool service following the construction project.
