Plan the pool's placement and design with care

Investing in a pool often represents a significant expense for most households, which underscores the importance of careful planning regarding placement and design to ensure perfect harmony with both the property and the existing garden.

  1. Choose placement – The ideal placement for the pool means maximum exposure to sunlight. This not only contributes to the natural heating of the water, but also creates an inviting place for relaxation, for example with an end staircase, which can significantly enhance quality of life. A strategic placement that makes the pool visible from the living room is recommended, as the illuminated water in the evening contributes to an aesthetic and calming atmosphere. To avoid the space feeling cramped, a distance of at least 1.5 meters around the pool is recommended. At the short side, opposite the stairs, a distance of about 3 meters should be reserved to allow easy storage of the pool cover.
  2. Choose shape and stairs – Current trends show a strong preference for rectangular pools. For larger pools, such as 4×8 meters, an end staircase is preferable as it offers a comfortable seating area. In smaller pools, such as 3.5×7 or 3×6 meters, it is often desirable to maximize the free swimming area, which is why a corner staircase is usually the most suitable solution.
  3. Choose color – It is important to note that the water color always appears somewhat darker than the pool's color without water. A white pool will appear light blue, a light blue pool will appear deep blue, and a gray pool will take on a turquoise hue.
  4. Choose the right accessories – Pump and filter are essential standard accessories for every pool installation. In addition, it may be wise to plan and prepare from the outset for the installation of future accessories such as pool enclosure, pool heat pump, salt chlorinator, or automatic dosing equipment.
