When you’re
considering having a pool built at home, you’ll have to do some
planning first. Proper planning helps you avoid problems like a muddy
yard and exorbitant water bills. First, you have to consider the type
of pool you’ll build.
You have two main
options when it comes to pools: inground or above-ground, and each
one will have different sets of advantages and disadvantages
depending on how and where you want to place them. Above-ground
pools, for instance, are great for homes with little backyard space,
whereas inground pools make for a durable, permanent installation
that have better customization options.
Another thing to
consider is how your yard is like, especially its slope, type of
soil, and accessibility. These can affect how much special
preparation builders will have to do. Remember to apply for a permit
as well. Note that different communities may have varying building
codes regarding the construction of swimming pools, so be sure to
check with your locality to find out. For one, your project will have
to meet certain local standards as to the distance from the pool to
your property lines, septic pipes, sewer lines, and wells, among
others.
Finally, think of
how long it will be built. Start your project well before the time
you want to enjoy your new pool. It can take from weeks to months to
finish it and you don’t want an unfinished hole in the ground when
summer arrives.
