What are the different types of custom pool construction?

‍

You should base the design of your pool on how you plan to use it the most. Custom pools can be of the following types:

• Above Ground Pool: This pool design can be a good option for those who are trying to save money. Instead of digging up your yard, you can have the pool on top of it and surround it with a deck or patio. These pools are usually constructed using vinyl liners and steel sidings. They can also be made of aluminum or resin.
• In-Ground Swimming Pools:Another choice is to install a permanent structure, which includes the pool in the ground. Vinyl liners, concrete, and fiberglass are all common types of inground pools. If you select a fiberglass pool for example, the hole is excavated and a large piece of fiberglass is delivered to the site and placed in the hole.
• Infinity Pools:Do you like the idea of a pool with a disappearing edge? Water flows over the edge of this pool, giving the illusion that there is no side wall. These pool features can be found on properties that have beautiful views or steep drops, like a view of a mountain range or water.
• Swim Spa: If you have limited space but want to use it for exercise, a swimspa is a great choice. The design features jets which create a powerful flow of water. You can still swim against the flow of water, even though you're not moving. This type of pool can be used as both an exercise pool and spa.

If function is more important than aesthetics then you may want to consider investing in a pool for laps. The design is narrow and long, which allows you to swim from one side to another in a straight-line. A lap pool should be at least 40 feet in length. The width of your custom pool will be determined by the number of lanes.

‍

What are the most common pool sizes and shapes? The most popular swimming pool shape is a kidney or rectangular shape. The kidney-shaped pool was the most common in the past. Modern homes tend to be more rectangular, or custom-shaped with unique features like lighting, decking and waterfalls.

Your swimming pool size will depend on how you plan to use it and the space available.

‍

What is the typical time frame for building a custom pool?

‍

Your pool's installation time is determined by a variety of factors.

• Do you know the type of pool you would like to install? Will you need time to consider all the options or will you have to wait? Planning can take as much time as you want. You need to plan carefully to ensure that the end result is what you want.
• Contractor Availability: The timing of when you start the project will be affected by contractor availability. You may need to wait a few months or weeks if your preferred team of pool installers is already booked up. Waiting a few weeks or months to start the project is worth it if you want to work with the best team.
• Construction Phase: Typically, it takes 10-12 weeks to build a custom swimming pool. There are a few things that can delay construction. These include bad weather, supply-chain issues, design changes, and larger projects that involve landscaping or decking.

A contractor with experience will provide a complete service, which includes site cleaning at the end. It is important to have a pool that's ready for use.

How much will it cost to maintain a custom pool?

‍

When you consider your budget for pool construction, don't forget to factor in the future costs of pool maintenance. The cost of pool maintenance will vary depending on the features you install, such as a filtration system, hot-tubs, and waterfalls.

Be sure you can afford to buy your dream pool one day! When choosing the perfect pool, you should consider adding features such as filtration to make it easier to maintain. The average homeowner spends anywhere between a few hundred and a thousand dollars per year on pool maintenance. The costs may increase if you need to make repairs.
