Plunge pool, lap pool or jacuzzi?
Comments (12)A plunge pool gives you the best of both and allows you to maximise the space and your budget. Adding gas heating and spa jets and even a swim spa jet to a plunge pool would really complete this goal....See MoreThinking about a pool, but don't know where to put one or what design
Comments (18)Yes - there are these amazing options to have an 'electric pool cover' with a slat arrangement that allows you to virtually walk on it. Do a google search...'pool covers electric'... I've no idea on how much they cost... Here's some pics. Not sure if irregular shapes make this too challenging... Our pool experience... We are needing to change a few things with our pool already - wish we had paid more attention to the pipes and filtration... (Having to potentially move them as they are too shallow and in 'awkward spot'... Extra $ and I'm so worried it may cause issues for us... Even the location of the concrete slab for the pump... Wish we had thought about overall picture... If I was buying a car for $70k, I would have done more research, but somehow we got carried away with idea that we could have a pool for summer, and yet reality is that it's ready for the 'next summer'... Budget plan (original) was around $30-40k, but I guess it's like building a house... Plus it's all a big learning experience......See MoreDesign for leaving house to a pool deck decision
Comments (3)Timber Decking near pools does look great! We do get lots of enquiries for replacing rusted timber connectors in decking areas near pools (usually replacing with our Stainless Steel Timber Connectors), that's not to say don't do decking, just make sure its done right!

Comments (7)We had a similar scenario with a recent project, but the design options were limited due to size. The solution involved incorporating a raised retained narrow garden bed that doubles as underpinning to the neighbouring building, which floor level is about a metre higher. The photo below is from a couple of years ago upon completion, but that side boundary wall is now fully covered with climbing fig and has become a feature green wall outlook for the interior spaces. It works here because the pool is a lap pool. If you have the option to keep the pool off the boundary it is always the better way to do. At the very least have some form of ledge or buffer and potentially stagger/layer the treatment of the boundary to soften the impacts of the wall height that otherwise would be imposing and stark. Best of luck PD :) www.pauldistefanodesign.com...See MoreINSPIRED 2 GIVE
