Owning a pool is a great way to relax and have fun, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to own a big backyard as well in order to do that. On the contrary, the size doesn’t really matter as long as you get what you came for. Nothing compares to a nice soak during hot summer days when nothing really cools that heat off like a bath in a pool. And commercia
A nice, cold bath in a plunge pool
This is probably the best way to combat relentless heat during July and August when no amount of air conditioning seems to help. The good thing about plunge pools is that they can be placed in very small backyards because they are deep and similar in diameter to an average hot tub.
They are not designed for swimming or exercise, but they provide a quick refreshment and low maintenance costs due to their compact size.
What is even more interesting is that you can upgrade it to a regular spa by adding seats and jets and use it even during winter because of its cost efficiency.
A pleasant swim in a lap pool
So you have some room in your backyard between your house and outer wall and you haven’t really found any use for it. This is a perfect place for a lap pool which is long and narrow and ideal for a quick swim.
A pond in your garden
Not an actual pond, but a pretty little pool surrounded by beautiful greenery, rocks and wood. This is an amazing addition to your garden if you can find enough room. The payoff is great because not only would you have a pool in your backyard garden, but the whole exterior would aesthetically explode by adding water as another natural element to the picture.
Not enough room? Try a custom shape
You really struggle with space and can’t really fit a rectangular or circular pool. No problem! You can opt for a completely random shape that would leave no corner unused.
These small, in-ground pools made of concrete are always convenient as their flexible design offers a lot of room for improvisation.
Infinity pool for finite space
No special tricks here. Infinity pool serves the same purpose, but it gives an illusion of endlessness as it melds the level of water with the horizon since the edge of the pool is beneath the water, a perfect little addition to your long summer sunsets. If your house is on a hill and the backyard is on a slope then you meet all the necessary conditions.
Now you see it now you don’t – A Hidden pool
This sort of technology is the one you’d probably see in Bond movies, and the price is not too far from that image either. However, this investment will give you the best possible way of using all the space you have at your disposal and lose nothing.
So what is a hidden pool?
It is a normal pool with a cover on the top which you can simply close or open just as you would any garage door. You would actually be getting a 2 in 1: a beautiful green grass backyard and a pool beneath which you can reveal on a whim.
Now, how awesome is that?
