Swimming pools are ideal for families who have the yard space and who want to have a staycation spot they can relax in all summer long! The swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pool Care share concrete pool basics if that is the type of pool construction material you want to use for your pool project. Research all the types before you make a decision — concrete, fiberglass and vinyl liner.
If a concrete aka gunite swimming pool is the construction material you’ve chosen you have checked off one of the biggest decisions in your pool construction project. The swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pools, Inc. explain other items you will need to make decisions on as it relates to your pool project.
Concrete pool basics
- Pool placement is the next big decision you will encounter. Look at: existing landscaping, proximity to the house, proximity to the neighbor’s houses, among other items. Ask us to design layout options so you can get a real life view of how your yard will look after the pool is complete. Ask for a bird’s eye view so you get a true feeling for the look of the yard.
- No matter what building material you chose, make certain you’re working with a pool contractor who is experienced and who has offered you contact information for references from current and former customers. Some pool contractors focus on one building material over another so make sure you work with a pool contractor who is experienced in the material you’ve chosen.
- Don’t forget about the pool accessories you want in your completed project. What might you want in the project? A diving board, slide, sun shelves, hot tub or spa, rock waterfall, fountain, automatic pool cleaner, in-pool lighting and others. Don’t forget the remote control technology to add in the ease of use of the pool. Pool safety items shouldn’t be considered “accessories” but rather, necessary parts of a safe pool experience.
No matter whether you get a concrete, vinyl liner or fiberglass pool, bottom line is when you own a pool you will be building memories with your family from the moment the pool project is complete.
