Find out which pool is right for your home

Beaches are ideal for cooling off in the water and sunbathing, but for those not lucky enough to live on the coast, this option is only available during holidays or extended holidays. The club also provides a good environment for swimming, sunbathing and resting.

Even so, some days we need to relax at home. So why not have a pool at home? So in addition to having leisure at home, you can still welcome friends in the summer.

There are many advantages to having a pool at home. You have more freedom and better enjoy your family time.


But when choosing the model and building, there are a few points to keep in mind, such as the land to build, how many people will use the pool, the size of your property (does it fit the model of your choice?) and possible future visitors, who will emerge when the work is completed.

Which model to choose and where to build?

Ideally, the terrain should be flat, spacious and sunny. Spacious enough for the model that was chosen. To get an idea of ​​the space to be used just take the size of the pool you want to build and multiply by two, the end result is the space that will be needed for construction.

Also consider the cost-effectiveness of the model, the maintenance over the years and the durability of the chosen model.


The most commonly used material for the construction of pools is reinforced concrete, but we also find pools made of fiberglass and vinyl.

For concrete pools, you have greater freedom and you can explore your imagination as the size and shape of the pool can be adapted to all types of terrain. By doing the proper maintenance, you only need to make repairs after 15 years of use. For all that, the investment value for a concrete pool ends up being more expensive than other types of pools.

Fiberglass pools are produced on a large scale, so their models are defined by the manufacturers. Deployment of this type is faster and the investment value is lower. The main problem is that it cannot be used in buildings and hard to reach places. Properly maintained, the pool can last up to 10 years without needing repairs.


For pools made with vinyl is built a? Box? of masonry within the excavated foundation, which is coated with the material. The main problem is that, because it is vinyl, the lining can be cut by sharp materials. The construction is very fast and the estimated durability is up to 7 years.

To avoid taking risks with the work, contact a company that specializes in swimming pools to advise you. Or even an architect to make a specific project for your home.

I chose the model and location for the pool, now what?

As demand for swimming pools is considerably lower in the winter months, plan to start work at this time. In addition to getting greater discounts on both materials and labor for the installation, this season is drier and rains less. The risk of your work being stopped because of time is lower. You suffer less stress by building and your pool is ready on time.

Always keep in mind that the larger the pool, the more it will spend for both deployment and maintenance over the next few years. Build with caution and planning so there are no surprises at the end of the work.
