How to Find the Right Size Swimming Pool for Your Yard

Every home is different and comes with varying outdoor dimensions. Part of the challenge is finding ways to maximize outdoor space to install the right size pool without compromising the rest of the yard. A pool comes in many different sizes and can be built in a custom size. The average rectangular pool will have a depth of about 5.5 feet and be something like 10 X 20, 15 X 30, 20 X 40. These, of course, are standard pool sizes, but we dont do standard here at Dorian Construction, so your pool can come in any size. The important considerations when it comes to size, however, are the following:

• Consider your lifestyle and your vision for the pool. What do you plan to use the pool for? Is this more for the kids and recreational swimming? Are you looking for lap swimming? Do you want a place to relax after a tough day at work? Maybe a little bit of both? Do you want to include a diving board? Slide? Or more landscaping?
• Who is the pool intended for? Is this pool for small kids to play around in? Is this more for the family to get together? If its intended more for adults, then the depth factor becomes important. Also, how many will be using the pool? Do you have a large family with lots of kids or a teenager who likes to have a lot of friends over? All of these can help you come up with size considerations.

The Many Swimming Pool Shape Options Life is Not Always Rectangular

Sure, when most people think about a backyard swimming pool, they think about the classic rectangular pool that seems to be the standard. Of course, you dont want a standard for your home, you want whats right for you. Rectangular pools are not always possible or efficient within certain spaces. They may even make your yard feel cramped. Here are more options to consider when working with us:

• Freeform pools. This means there is no discernible shape to the pool, but it rather conforms and blends to the space in which it is installed. This might be a lagoon-shaped half-moon with a wide entry or a wide-angled-kidney-shaped pool with a diving board on the far end.
• Kidney. This is another traditional shape that can be altered to fit different spaces as well. People can use this as a model and then find that they can adjust the edges and make the pool a lot more free-flowing.
• Oval. This can be a great choice if youre looking to include some landscaping or waterfalls as part of the setup.
• Figure 8. If youre looking for more swimming space and varying depths, a figure eight might be a traditional form, but it can be great to help the circulation of the water and provides a space for the kids to splash around and space for deeper diving.
• Greek-style pool. This style has a timeless and classic feel to it, as it incorporates corners that are tilted at 45 degrees. There are many design possibilities with this style as well.

There are too many shapes to name here. And once we take a look at your yard, we will devise an idea and design completely unique to your space.
