Outdoor pool at the dacha

If you have sufficient space on your summer cottage, it will be quite logical to place your own swimming pool, especially since it is not at all necessary to invest in monumental construction.Ready swimming pools for summer cottages can be made both in the simplest version – inflatable, and in the form of a prefabricated structure that can be installed on any flat surface or buried in the ground.

Pool types

The simplest and cheapest option is inflatable. The main advantages are price and ease of installation. Usually produced with a volume of 10-15 m³. The main disadvantage is that with the onset of cold weather, the pool must be disassembled and dried, and then stored and packaged warmly. During these manipulations, the film is damaged and begins to leak. Of course, a repair kit is included with the pool, but the pond will not last longer than 2-3 seasons. It is also not recommended to actively frolic in it.

A more durable option should be considered frame collapsible pools. The walls are made of 2 layers of dense vinylester and one polyester. The steel frame gives the product additional strength to withstand increased loads. The most popular pools are 5 meters long and 2 meters wide.

The most convenient and reliable option are frost-resistant prefabricated swimming pools they can be installed either on a flat surface or with full or partial recess. The frame of the product is a steel sheet around the perimeter, installed along the lower guides. It has a coating of decorative polymer in white or blue. A PVC side is mounted on top. Available in round (2-3 m in diameter) and oval (up to 8 meters in length) versions, as well as in the shape of a figure eight.

As an additional, but not mandatory, element of comfort, you can consider installing a pavilion or canopy or cover over the pool, which prevents debris from entering and also prevents the water from cooling at night. The purchase of a filter and a chlorine generator will also not be considered an extra expense.
