Swimming pools for backyards and Gardens


Even tough in Argentina is still not summer time, people are already looking forward to it, and together with that, people have started to think about the swimming pool they would like to have…

Those who have a backyard at home and would like to have a swimming pool will be able to choose from a wide variety of pools. The type (and size) of the swimming pool will depend mainly in the size of your backyard or garden.

For starters, the cheapest and one of the easiest swimming pools to install are the plastic ones. The plastic swimming pools are a practical alternative because they come in many sizes and they are easy to maintain. One of the pros of having a plastic swimming pool in your backyard is that, in the summer, you won't be too hot in there, and in winter you may put it away; so, you won't be loosing any space in your backyard because of the swimming pool.

Nowadays, there are also other above-ground swimming pools made of plastic or rubber that don’t have any pipes to support; you inflate the sides of the swimming pool and that is it. You only have to make sure you put the pool in a flat and smooth place. The good thing about this type of swimming pools is that you don’t need to be handling pipes to install it, like the other plastic swimming pools.

Another type of swimming pool you may consider to install in your backyard is the fiberglass pool. These swimming pools are easy to install, although it take a couple more days than when you have a plastic swimming pool. A good and interesting thing about the fiberglass swimming pools is that they come in a variety of sizes, shapes and depths. A downside of these swimming pools is that you cannot disassemble them in winter like the other pools. Still, you will have a fresh place to go in the summer.

Last, the swimming pools made of concrete are usually harder to install (or construct), specially because it takes longer. Still, once they are finished they don’t require too much maintenance. The swimming pools made of concrete are usually big (although they may have any size), and they are ideal for big back yards or gardens, so those who enjoy swimming may do so freely.

Each type of swimming pool has its technicalities when it comes to installing them, and it is always recommended you ask a specialist for he/she can tell you where the best place to install your new swimming pool is.
