How To Select The Perfect Sized Pool For Your Backyard

Investing in an inground or above ground pool can be a big decision. Before beginning pool installation, you will want to develop a detailed plan for the location and size of your new backyard pool. Then, the expert swimming pool contractors at Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs can help turn your plan into a reality, and in no time, you and your family will be enjoying your new pool. Here is a guide to helping you decide on the perfect sized pool for your backyard.

Things to Consider For Your Pool Size:

Family Size

The size of your pool should reflect the size of your family and the average number of people you think will be using the space. Do you have a small family but plan on entertaining frequently? You might need to want a larger pool than a small family who rarely entertains. Thankfully, inground pools can be built in custom designs and shapes by swimming pool contractors to build the perfect space for you and your family.

Backyard Size

Your new pool will also be limited by the amount of space available in your backyard. If you live on a large acreage, the opportunities are nearly endless! But if you have a small or modest-sized backyard, you may need to be creative with the size and shape of your new inground pool. Swimming pool contractors can help you visualize how large an inground pool will be before it is installed.

Do you want space for other things?

Depending on how you plan to use your backyard, you could take up most of the space with a new swimming pool. However, if you are hoping to have ample space for an outdoor kitchen or a large lawn for pets and children, you may need to adjust the dimensions of your new pool. Consider how you will use your backyard space and factor that into the size of the pool that will best suit you and your family’s needs.

What is your main reason for getting a pool?

Do you want a backyard pool to relax, cool-off, and hang out with family and friends? Are you looking for a pool to do lap swimming and aquafit? Do you want a shallow pool for young children? These are essential questions to consider when deciding on the size of your new backyard pool. For cooling off and relaxing, a small plunge pool may be sufficient for your needs. However, for lane swimming, you will likely require a larger pool.
