Choosing the location where you’re going to build your pool is an important decision. It’s not only about ensuring it fits well into your garden’s environment, but there are other aspects to consider as well.
If we place the pool away from trees and bushes, its maintenance will be much easier as it will reduce the dirt that falling leaves can cause.
We need to make the most of the hours of sunlight, so we should position the pool in an area that is exposed to the sun throughout the day and, if possible, sheltered from the wind to avoid unnecessary heat loss.
Even though at the moment when we’re deciding where to place the pool, we may be thinking of an outdoor pool, it wouldn’t hurt to think about the future and the possibility of covering it someday to make use of it all year round.
Furthermore, placing the pool close to the house can bring many benefits. The length of the pipes, drains, and electrical connections will be shorter. The filtering equipment can be installed in the basement or garage. If you’re considering the possibility of installing solar panels, the proximity to the roof will be ideal.
The more factors you take into account when building your pool, the more you will enjoy it in the long run. Changes or later modifications tend to be quite expensive.
