Creating a Pool Design Checklist

Are you finally ready to put the pool of your dreams in the backyard? Be sure to make a pool design checklist. It’ll help you consider all the design factors necessary to ensure a fun, safe, beautiful pool area.

Regulations

Although jumping straight to the design phase is much more fun, it’s crucial you do a little homework first. Every state has their own rules and regulations around the construction of both inground and above ground pools. Take some time to be sure your property complies before calling for work to begin. Some of the most common regulations include allowed depth and fencing specifications.

Insurance

Check with your insurance company to see if they have any policy holder requirements around swimming pools. For example, if you have home-based business such as a childcare/daycare center or an animal grooming facility, they may choose not to insure you.

Landscaping

Look over your property with a careful eye. Both above and inground pools have a large number of landscape-related requirements, most prevalent being a section of leveled ground. If you have children, or plan to, you’ll also want to choose a location that’s visible from the yard and the house.

Design

The fun comes in the design phase! It’s all choices from this point on. In fact, it can become overwhelming with many people saying there’s too many choices. Sit with a paper and pencil and do a rough sketch of what you might like to see in your yard, and bring that with you when you go to look at options.

- Size
- Depth
- Shape
- Water Type
- Slope
- Access Points
- And Much, Much, More!
