Where Should You Put Your Above Ground Pool?
An above ground pool can provide hours of relaxation and enhance many landscapes. To maximize enjoyment and reduce maintenance, you should select just the right spot for your pool. When choosing a location for your above ground pool, you’ll want to consider several factors.
What size is your yard?
Pools vary in size, and larger yards can accommodate expansive above ground pools. Of course, you’ll want a flat area on which to install your pool. Hilly or rocky areas will require more work to ready the yard for pool installation.
Sun or shade: which do you prefer?
Also, environmental factors play a role. Do you want your pool in a sunny or shaded area? This choice depends on your preferences for water temperature and pool use. If your pool is in a shady area, it may stay cooler, but you’ll also have to clean leaves from the pool more often. You should aim to place your pool at least ten feet from a tree.
Do you want easy accessibility?
Do you prefer your pool to be secluded in a corner or your property or closer to your home? This depends on how you plan to use your pool and on the type of backyard landscape you desire. Most pool owners want to place the pool near a walkway to a home or outdoor bathroom, for easy access.
Do regulations or restrictions apply?
Also, consider HOA or city regulations. Make sure the type and size of your pool is allowed by regulations for your home.
