10 Best Accessories for Inground Pools
Having a pool in your own backyard definitely add comfort and beauty to your home not to mention giving you the means to cool off when the heat of summer becomes intolerable. Having a ground pool, however, like other things in your house, need to be accessorized a little bit if you want to keep it safe…and fashionable!
TEN ACCESSORIES YOU NEED TO BUY FOR YOUR INGROUND POOL
Pool Bars – This particular set of furniture used to be exclusive for affluent homeowners as they can be quite expensive. Nowadays, however, thanks to the ingenuity of men, it will only cost you a minimal amount of money to have your own pool bar set up. Of course, if you want to be truly unique, you can always incorporate the pool bar during your pool’s construction stage. That way, chairs and the bar counter itself can be built within the pool.
When having a pool bar set up, make sure that the foundation is sturdy, chairs are comfortable and will not get ruined if exposed to moisture often, and there are umbrellas or any covering provided to shield you from the harsh rays of the sun.
Just imagine! With this setting, you can enjoy your strawberry daiquiri right inside your pool!
Alarm Systems – If your house is only protected with a waist-high fence, you can never be too sure about your house’s safety even if you live in the suburbs. Protect your home and family by installing an alarm system. This will always make a perfect accessory to your pool as many intruders tend to inadvertently jump in the pool when they feel pressured to make a quick getaway. An alarm system installed in your pool will also alert you if your kid accidentally falls into the pool and is about to drown.
With an alarm system installed, you can be sure that you’ll save your kid in time!
Lighting System – Only kids who are going against their parents’ wishes or adults trespassing in private property delight in swimming in the dark; for the rest of us however, we like things better if we see where we’re going…or swimming. For that reason, you definitely need to have a lighting system installed in your pool. Rather than rely on lights that are located outside your pool, lights that are installed in your pool will make your evening brighter and more fun.
Don’t worry because it’s still safe to swim even if the lights are switched on!
Solar Blanket – If you’d still like to use your pool in fall and the onset of winter, don’t worry because there’s a way out of your dilemma: all you need to do is buy a solar blanket for your pool. A solar blanket will provide necessary heat during the day then control the loss of heat at night. Make sure to buy the right size of solar blanket for your pool!
SLIDES – Who doesn’t have fun with slides? No matter how old you are, there’s nothing to dislike with the scary pleasure of sliding all the way down. Of course, make sure first that your pool’s deep enough to allow you and your family to enjoy sliding. Secondly, choose the right height of slide; too tall slides might cause your children to become accidentally hurt.
AUTOMATIC CLEANERS – Who wouldn’t want a robot to do the cleaning for all of us? Fortunately, there’s one just like it to clean the pool for ourselves. What’s more, automatic pool cleaners are not only extremely helpful, but they’re also cute as well.
BASKETBALL OR VOLLEYBALL – Whichever sport you prefer, it’s relatively cheap and easy to have either installed. All you’ll need is a ring for basketball or a net for volleyball…and the proper ball of course!
PADDED SIDES – You can attach padding to the sides of your pool to lessen the chances of your children getting hurt when they accidentally hit or bump themselves.
FLOATING EQUIPMENT – Whether it’s a inflatable bed, shark, or a float ring, these will add color and fun to swimming in your backyard!
JACUZZI – Having a Jacuzzi installed right next to your ground pool will give you and your family the option of heating up - or cooling down - in relative privacy.
Although these represent the top 10 accessories that you can add or use with your ground pool, that certainly doesn’t mean you have to stop there. If you have the energy and money to buy more accessories, then by all means do so. After all, the more, the merrier!
