You may be thinking of a pool in your backyard for summer 2019 and if that’s the case, you will want to get started as soon as possible so you don’t miss out on any precious swim time! Making the decision on the swimming pool was the biggest hurdle, now you need to decide the design of the pool itself.
There are so many options:
-
- Rectangle
- Oval
- Freeform
- Round
- Kidney
There are advantages and disadvantages to each style and you will want to talk with us or do a lot of research up front to decide which style and shape is best not only for your existing backyard shape, but for the budget. The construction material you choose may also be a deciding factor on the shape of your pool.
Gunite offers the widest variety of shape types, fiberglass is next and a vinyl liner pool is the pool type that has the least flexibility in styles. Remember, in addition to the shape of the pool, the accessories, coping and tile will also lend itself to the uniqueness of your family pool.
