Choosing the perfect pool for your family involves more than just picking a shape. It’s about understanding your family’s needs, lifestyle and what you all want to get out of the pool. From the size and type of pool, to maintenance and activities, every decision impacts your family’s enjoyment. At Dynamic Pool Designs, we understand that a pool is a significant investment in family fun, health, and togetherness. Here’s a guide to help you make the best choice for your family’s new backyard destination.
What Do You Need To Consider?
Family Size
Consider how many people will be using the pool. A larger family or one that enjoys hosting guests will likely prefer a bigger pool or one with different depth zones to accommodate everyone from children to adults.
Outdoor Space
The size and layout of your backyard will impact the size and shape of the pool. It’s essential to ensure there’s enough space for the pool and surrounding area for lounging, play, and safety.
Budget
Your budget will influence many design considerations for your new project. Like all important investment decisions, research is the key along with prioritising the essential elements of your project versus those that can be compromised if needed. Planning financially ahead of time is the soundest pathway to a positive budget outcome.
Entertainment Activities
If you plan to use the pool for entertainment, consider features like integrated spas, benches, splash areas, or pool zones suitable for water games, which can significantly enhance enjoyment.
Different Pool Types
Concrete
Concrete pools offer the most customisation options in terms of shape, size, depth and range of finishes. They are ideal for those who want a unique pool tailored to their specific needs and landscape but require more lengthy design and construction time.
Fibreglass
Fibreglass pools are pre-moulded in various shapes and sizes and can be installed quickly. They are durable, easy to maintain and good for families looking for a cost-effective and low-maintenance option.
Plunge Pool
Perfect for smaller spaces, plunge pools are great for cooling off rather than swimming laps.
