If you’re building a new property or completely remodelling your backyard, a brand new swimming pool for your home is probably one of your biggest dreams. Just think of it: lounging by the pool on a hot summer day, toning your body with refreshing laps back and forth across the pool, or hosting BBQs with your family and friends while refreshing yourself by picture-perfect blue waters.
However, before you begin on your pool design journey, you need to prepare yourself by considering the different types of pools you can purchase. There are many types of pools, and it’s important to consider which one is the most suitable for you. In this article, we will discuss some of the best swimming pools for your home, explain the different types of pools, and evaluate whether they’re the right fit for you and your home.
Plungie Pools
Our plungie pools are pre-built pools that are compact, highly customisable, and perfect for soaking and relaxing. Our plungie pools come in a variety of small, pre-made designs that make them easy to install and highly adaptable to many kinds of outdoor spaces. Whether you want a free-standing pool in your backyard, or a pool with an elevated deck built around it, plungie pools are your best bet.
Plungie pools are specifically suited for homes that have limited backyard space. They are suitable for relaxing and soaking, plus, are easy to warm because of their small size. They’re also suitable for doing low-impact hydrotherapy exercises and resistance training. The drawbacks for this style of pool however are that they aren’t suitable for diving, and you shouldn’t get one if you want to do high-impact swimming training like doing freestyle laps. Overall, plungie pools are best suited for people wanting a relaxed, kicked-back lifestyle. Get a plungie pool if you’re looking for a relaxing soak and enjoy the close proximity to others.
Concrete Pools
If you have a specific vision for the exact shape and depth of your swimming pool, then concrete pools are the type for you. Their biggest benefit is their wide range of customisability. If you want your pool to curve in a specific direction, have islands in the middle, have an extended platform for sitting or teaching young ones to swim, or be shaped like a musical instrument, you can absolutely do so with a concrete pool.
While they are highly customisible, they also come with some drawbacks that are important to be aware of. Mainly, due to them being custom-built on location, they can take weeks and months to be completed. It’s important to schedule accordingly and also expect a fair amount of time for your yard to be remodelled as our builders carefully craft your vision and turn it into reality. That said, once the pool is completed, the benefit is that it will be built to your exact specifications.
Fibreglass Pools
Finally, the final type of pools that we offer is fibreglass pools. Fibreglass pools are premolded designs that are the perfect value of size and quality. With a variety of different designs, fibreglass pools are simple to install. All we need to do is dig out the allotted area of your property, install the pre-moulded pool, and then build the area around it with pavers, grass, or concrete.
Offered in a variety of sizes, like a traditional rectangular shape or organic curved designs, we’ll create something that is sure to capture your interest. The other upside is the high-quality material in the inner pool. The smooth, non-porous surface makes it highly resistant to algae and staining, with the added benefit of being gentle on feet and limbs, thus unlikely to injure people from any rough surfaces. The inherent flexibility and strength of the pool material also mean that it is unlikely to crack and break from shifting earth movements and different weather conditions.
