Features to Include By Your Pool

21 Jan Features to Include By Your Pool

Having a pool in your backyard is already a bonus. However, there’s more you can add to make your pool and the surrounding area even more enjoyable. These extra features create a whole new experience and they can even increase the value of your home. 

Pool House 

A pool house is a structure that you can customize to fit whatever your needs are. Your pool house can function as a storage area where you keep all the cleaning chemicals, pool toys, or unused pool furniture. If you choose, you can build a larger pool house where you and your guests can change, grab a snack, use the bathroom, or get out of the sun for a while. Having a pool house like this is much easier than going back and forth between your pool and your house. Some people even build pool houses that can act as a guest house. This is a great way to host your friends while giving both of you some privacy. 

Outdoor Kitchen 

When you’re hanging out by the pool, you don’t want to have to walk all the way back to your house every time you need food. Instead, you should build an outdoor kitchen by your pool. An outdoor kitchen allows you to cook all your food right where you are. If you have guests over, you can prepare a meal for everyone while still being right in the middle of the action. You can also take advantage of having more time out in the sun while you cook. Your outdoor kitchen can be as big or as small as you need. 

A Waterproofed Deck

While many people might be focused on the pool itself, you also need to consider the deck surrounding the pool. A waterproofed deck is an important feature to have. When your deck is waterproofed, you create a better surface for people to walk on. There will be less slips and falls, so everyone can be safe while around the pool. Additionally, waterproofing will also protect the surface of your deck. It can prevent cracks in the pavement and it protects the deck from UV rays. Your pool deck will last longer and require less maintenance when you waterproof it. 

There are many ways you can improve your pool and the surrounding area. Adding in these features will make your pool more enjoyable for you and your guests. Make an extra effort to add value to your pool.
