It’s a Good Time for a New Pool

Posted on by

If your home did not come with a pool, this is a good time to look into the options available to you for pool installation to not only increase the value of your home and future marketability, but also to make your backyard an oasis of fun. While it may be nice to have a built-in pool already in place when you purchase your home, it’s to your advantage to design your own swimming pool and get the type of pool you want, not just what someone else left you.

Leland NC pool installersThe first step after the decision has been made to have a pool installed is to call Carolina Creations, your local Leland NC pool installers. We will work with you to determine the type, size and shape of your new pool.

There are as many options when it comes to size as there are options about the shapes you can choose from. The size is going to depend a great deal on how much space you have in your yard for pool installation and where you locate the pool. You don’t want to fill your whole backyard with a pool and have no room left for your kids to play or for you to enjoy a BBQ. Keep in mind that in the future you might want to add an outdoor living space such as an outdoor kitchen or grilling area, so preserve enough space for future options.

When it comes right down to it, make sure you design and plan the pool of your dreams. A pool isn’t really something you want to upgrade on every few years. But even if you decide to, as your local Leland NC pool installers we can help you with that as well.

You won’t find a stronger pool than fiberglass, and yet it’s flexible enough to flex with rigid freeze-thaw cycles found in colder climates. Comes with a lifetime structural guarantee and a 7 year surface warranty.

Concrete pools have the advantage of being as big as you’d like and can be any shape or depth. They can have design features built like vanishing edges, beach entries, tanning ledges, and more.

Considerations for Shallotte Pool Installation

Posted on by

There are some considerations that we will point out here with regards to have a pool installed. As a leading Shallotte pool installation provider, we’ll assist you in choosing the perfect pool and site location and we’ll answer any questions you might have along the way.

Shallotte pool installationThere are things to consider when selecting the pool site, such as obstructions. These could include underground wires, gas lines, septic tanks, dry-well systems, plumbing, trees, and overhead power lines. Underground obstruction and utilities should be located prior to beginning excavation. Utility companies will usually locate underground pipes and cables that are located on your property at no charge to you. Choose an avenue of least resistance for the sake of practicality and economy.

Try to locate the pool to provide the best access and most ideal working conditions. Placing the pool a few feet one way or the other, may permit improved excavation conditions, easier dirt removal and pool installation.

Access to changing facilities and the house should also be considered. Think about having views of the pool from inside the house for supervision of children and guests. As you decide on your pool site, make a rough layout where you think the pool should be located. Then consider decking and walk way by staking out their approximate positions.

Sun and shade can be an important factor when determining the pool location. Excessive shaded areas from trees and other buildings could result in uncomfortable swimming conditions during marginal weather months. In addition, it could considerably increase heating costs. Excessive sun can be unbearable during excessively hot periods. Proper pool orientation will take advantage of sunny days for comfortable swimming condition and decrease heating costs.

Give us a call at Carolina Creations (910-755-6411) and we’d be happy to talk with you about the Shallotte pool installation process.
