Why Do You Want a Pool? Answer These Questions to Help Design Your Dream Pool!
Planning your pool project is an exciting endeavor that requires thoughtful consideration and careful preparation. If you’re dreaming of a serene personal oasis or a lively hub for family fun and entertainment, the key to a successful pool project lies in meticulous planning. From selecting the perfect design and choosing the right materials, to understanding maintenance needs and considering safety features, each step plays a crucial role in bringing your vision to life.
What is your primary motivation for considering this project? Identifying why you want a swimming pool upfront makes all the other questions easier to answer. Most people dream about getting a swimming pool for one or more of the following reasons:
- To create a great place to entertain family and friends.
- To keep the kids at home and out of trouble.
- To get the kids outside and doing something healthy.
- To have an easy way to exercise and stay healthy.
- To relax after work every day.
- To work on your tan.
- As a personal gift.
- To provide a great excuse to bring the grandkids.
- To increase the functional area of the house.
- To personalize the home after purchase.
- To enhance your lifestyle.
- To increase your property value.
- To update/beautify your home.
By thoroughly evaluating your needs, budget, and available space, you can ensure that your new pool enhances your lifestyle and adds value to your property. For example, if your primary motivation is to entertain your children or grandchildren, a lap pool may not be ideal. If exercise is important, you will want to pay extra attention to the overall length and ensure a large, shallow area. If relaxation and spoiling yourself are essential, a tanning ledge and perhaps a waterfall or grotto might be perfect for you.
