Are you bored with your pool? When you first built your pool, you must have been very excited, but after all these years, you’re probably tired to look at the same design over and over again. Typically, it’s recommended to renovate your in-ground pools every 5-10 years, so take the chance to give your pool a makeover! Whether it be a new shape, new design, new materials, or new water features, the change will spice up your old pool and make it captivating once again. Don’t think of the renovation as a waste of money, but an investment for the future.There are endless possibilities to renovating your in-ground pool, but the first step is to plan your finances, and decide on your budget. If you’re in need of a complete renovation, you can consider changing the shape and material. In-ground pools come in many shapes and sizes. The only limitation is your imagination. If you don’t want to change your pool shape completely, you can extend the length of your pool, or add a curve to your dull rectangular pool. In terms of material, there are three basic types to choose from: concrete, vinyl-lined concrete, and fibreglass. Concrete allows for more artistic freedom, while fibreglass is more durable.
Regular pool maintenance is essential in ensuring the safety of you and your family. If there are any technical issues, you should have it fixed right away before the problem escalades. Along with the renovation, you should upgrade your pool equipment. Technology has improved drastically over the past decade, so get a new, more energy-efficient pump, filter, and sanitation system.
If you’re happy with your original in-ground pool, there are some simple decorations and add-ons that will give your pool a fresh new look. A vinyl pool liner is easy to install, typically only within a day. There are lots of patterns to pick from, or you can also customize and create your own design. Replace the old incandescent lighting and with new LED lights underwater to create a nice hue to your pool to set the mood.
Having a swimming pool is not just about the pool. Its surrounding environment also matters. To make your in-ground pool more fun and child-friendly, add a slide and turn your pool into a mini-waterpark. Replacing your pool deck is also a way to modernize your in-ground pool. The design and material from a decade again is most likely outdated, so why not change to something trendier such as natural stone decks. To create a better ambiance for your pool, you can also install new water features such as waterfalls, or cascades, as well as fire features, such as fire bowls or torches.
