Pool at the cottage: choose the best option for outdoor activities

Many people like to spend their free time in the pool or somewhere near the water. This is especially nice on hot days when there is nothing better than plunging into cool water. More and more people choose a pool in their own country house. Before starting such an investment, many factors must be taken into account, such as size, depth and shape, as well as the location and type of materials from which the water tank should be made.

What to look for when choosing a pool for a summer residence?

The pool is not only a decoration of the cottage, but also an oasis of relaxation on hot days. It is also an important place for people who want to lead an active lifestyle, and there is simply not enough time to travel to sports clubs. Thus, today you can increasingly see swimming pools of various types in the courtyards of a private house.

Choosing a place for the pool

One of the first decisions is to choose a place. The pool cannot be near trees, because falling leaves and branches quickly pollute the water. Due to easy access to the water system, the pool should be located next to the house. It should also be remembered that the container should be installed in a place that should be well lit by the sun for more than half a day.

Selection of materials for the manufacture of the pool

The second important element is the choice of materials from which the pool should be made. It can be made of reinforced concrete, which is very durable, as well as polyester and steel sheet resins. Do not forget about the inflatable views of the pool, which can be easily transferred to different parts of the garden.

Organization of space around the pool

The third most important element is the coating that surrounds the pool. The territory at the water reservoir performs not only a decorative function, but also a barrier to protect the tank from pollution. The material from which the area in the immediate vicinity of the water will be made is a very important issue. The basis here is safety and durability. Both the pool deck and the platform must be very resistant to moisture and ultraviolet radiation. An excellent material is a WPC deck board.

 

Pools for giving dug

Usually, the decision on a garden pool involves the purchase of a structure that digs directly into the ground. Such gutters are popular for use due to their quick installation. However, not all dug pools are suitable for summer cottages. First of all, we are talking about the depth of the prefabricated pool. The finished tank should not cross the border of groundwater. Therefore, before construction it is necessary to conduct tests to determine the level of groundwater. Obviously, a digged-in pool does not imply any one material of manufacture. Currently, the main focus is on four main types:

• steel;
• aluminum;
• polypropylene;
• polyester resin.

Monolithic pool in the country

The durability of a digged-in pool cannot be equated with the strength of a brick tank. Monolithic pools in practice are the most durable. Of course, the reinforced concrete structure contributes to this. At the same time, it is she who makes the construction of such a swimming tank more complicated and time-consuming. Prefabricated structures are much easier to do. In addition, they are relatively cheaper, due to the volume of work performed. Monolithic pools are often also used as enclosed spaces. Their decoration is usually expensive, due to which they are elegant and representative.

Frame pools for a summer residence

If you do not have relatively large finances, then you can still enjoy swimming in the summer cottage. The frame pool will delight you throughout the hot season. Today prevailing folding designs that can be bought in hypermarkets.Frame pools have two undeniable advantages:

• they are portable;
• assembly can be quick and easy.

The inflatable pool for giving

Inflatable pools are small, lightweight, can be moved and are very cheap compared to other swimming tanks. Many people cannot afford to build a stone pool in the country, but an inflatable artificial pond is an alternative. It can be purchased for little money. The average size of the pool for the garden, which is inflated in tens of minutes, will allow you to have a great time with the whole family, without significantly affecting the budget. Caring for such a pool and using it in accordance with the instructions is elementary.

Benefits of Portable Pools

An important advantage of the inflatable pool to the cottage is the fact that you can deploy it and collapse anywhere in the garden landscape. The pool can be blown off, and the next weekend, having arrived in a country house, again inflated. If necessary, you can easily bring the pool into the house, if pre-folded. An inflatable structure can be installed anywhere in the country, which is especially important if the family has children.

Pool service in the country

Of crucial importance is not only the design itself, but also the proper maintenance of the garden pool. Believe me, in practice, you will already feel two days of neglect of the pool. Therefore, proper care should be provided. First of all, the water in the pool needs to be filtered. It is best to invest in sand filters. In addition, disinfection is also important. Chlorine is most often used for disinfection. The cleaning process should be selected according to the size of the pool. The so-called vacuum cleaners allow you to effectively clean the bottom. If you choose a stationary swimming pool for swimming in the country, then it is recommended to use the services of special companies twice a year that will effectively take care of your pool and prepare it for winter and summer.

If the installation of a stationary pool is expensive for you, then you can always choose an inflatable type of tank for swimming. And remember the safety in the pool! Never leave children in the tank unattended.
