If you are looking to build a backyard pool oasis or landscaping, then you’ve reached the right destination! We have compiled some of the most effective and creative tips for constructing a pool.
SELECTING THE RIGHT DESIGN AND STRUCTURE FOR THE POOL
This is the initial and crucial step for creating any landscape in an area. If you are going for a backyard pool, you should focus on the structure and design of the pool. Whether you prefer a classic rectangle pool, geometric designed pool or a luxury design pool, you need to decide according to the space available and any extra features that you would need in the space!
INSTALLING PRIVACY AND SAFETY FEATURES
This is especially essential for a backyard pool; you need to have privacy in order to enjoy some quality time with family and friends or on your own. Panels, screens, high fences and planters are some of the features that can be used for privacy in the area. You can add whatever you think would suit your space as this can also help to elevate the entire area!
USING WEATHER PROOF MATERIAL AND ITEMS
You need to be extra careful while selecting the furniture for an outdoor place and the material to be used for any features you have added because it will go through different weather conditions. Choose furniture that is long-lasting while the fabric for cushions and couch etc. are weather proof. You can also keep curtains or rain shades to cover any furniture or decoration pieces, in case of rain or a sandstorm!
ADD COMFORTABLE SEATING OR PATIO SPACE
While designing a pool area, one should not forget to add some space for a comfortable sitting area such as tables and chairs or a nice patio with couch and sofas to make the place more useable! This can make the place look livelier and aesthetically appealing too. However, make sure to place the furniture in areas with shade so it is not too hot to relax!
CREATE A SPACE FOR FOOD AND DRINKS
Save up a small space by the water oasis where you can keep all the stuff for any meal prepping or snack and beverages. You can also make space for grill stations or a barbeque area for fun family and friends’ activities together such as grilling, frying or just making drinks. Place some seats there too if possible!
ADD OUTDOOR LIGHTING TO THE AREA
This is a practical yet enhancing feature to any outdoor space. For a backyard pool oasis, adding lighting greatly improves the ambience of the space, making it more vibrant and extending the hours of using the space. You can choose the type of lighting you think would suit the area; you can opt for string lighting, a popular choice for outdoor spaces which can be put up along the fences or decorative, scented candles. You can also go for tiki torches for a fancier touch, which can add a different look to the space. It also helps to repel any mosquitoes. However, keep in mind the safety of people- the placement of the lighting especially tiki torches and candles should be away from the water or any furniture present.
REDUCING THE PRESENCE OF INSECTS AND BUGS
While this is something that is inevitable, especially in hot and humid areas, you can control the presence of bugs and insects around your pool area with a few things! Placing mosquito repellant coils in the corners of the outdoor space can help get rid of mosquitoes while lighting citronella candles can help eliminate any pests. You can also regularly spray outside to control any bugs and insects outside.
These tips and techniques will surely help you transform your space into something extraordinary!
