A swimming pool works as a comfortable escape from the sweltering heat. Utilise the full garden area to get the best pool for your family, however make sure to contact a professional to evaluate that your soil is the correct consistency for a pool before you begin with any construction.

2. Prioritise the depth of your pool to make it functional and practical.

A small yard, with a petite swimming pool means the depth should be about 1.5 metres, but remember to factor in the steps and railing too. And always leave plenty of space between the shallowest and deepest part of the pool.

3. If you are considering building a pool, then go for a creative and interesting aesthetic for an impressive design.

The best pool doesn’t need to be in a spacious yard, grandeur can be added to a compact space, but it may just require some imagination and creativity. Opt for some greenery and of course a perfect layout and that petite pool will make for a pleasant experience.

7. Protective barriers are a must-have around an exposed pool to safeguard family members and children from any accidents. A glass railing is an excellent choice that won’t hamper your view either.
