Pool Design
If you’ve had the opportunity of flying over any of the bigger cities in South Africa, you will certainly have noticed the little blue dots scattered across the landscape within the backyards of many homes. These lucky folk have the envious option of being able to strip off and cool down when the blistering summers hit our fair country.
If you’re reading this page, then the chances are that you either need a revamp of a small or old swimming pool, or you’re considering a brand spanking new design to enhance your home.
Either way, you’re in the right place.
Swimming Pool Design and Installation – What You Need to Know
There are no one-size-fits-all solutions when considering a new swimming pool. Many factors come into play, including:
- The size and shape of your garden
- The slope of your land
- Your budget
- The expected use of the pool
- The style of your home
- Access to the building area
If you’re a little limited in terms of space, then a smaller design or even a splash pool will be the solution. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as a large pool means more water, more electricity and more chemicals.
Will your family be playing in the pool, training, or simply lounging with a cold beer? The way you use your swimming pool will play a big part in the design you ultimately choose.
Swimming Pool Safety
One of the key elements to factor into your swimming pool design is that of safety. Pool nets or fences are mandatory in South Africa, and for good reason. Will you be able to see the pool from the house? Is your choice of paving around your pool stable with a non-slip surface? (Is my pool far enough from the house to prevent grown men jumping off balconies?)
