During the long, hot summer, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to go out to your backyard and enjoy the nice, cool water in a swimming pool? If you’ve been thinking about adding a pool to your backyard, or you have one but it needs some work, you may want to contact a Swimming Pool Contractor to see what your options are. Swimming pools bring a nice, cool and relaxing alternative for those long, hot summer days.

Swimming pools come in many different shapes and sizes. Your pool contractor in Orange County will be happy to help you determine the best size pool for the space you have. They also have the ability to run the project from start to finish. The first thing you need to acquire before beginning construction on a new pool is permits. Permits are required by your city or county and you must have them before any construction begins. Most pool contractors are able to secure the permits for you before the project begins. Once the permits are secured, excavation begins. By this point you should have decided where you want the pool to go in your yard, the size of the pool and the depth of the pool. You can build a play pool (a pool with a maximum depth of five feet) or a dive pool (with a depth of eight feet or more).

Once the pool is dug, you can watch as the plumbing and electrical components are put in, and then the rebar, which provides a mesh framework for the floor and walls of your pool. If you haven’t already, you will need to sit with your Pool Contractor in Orange County to decide what to put inside your pool. There are many options to consider including different types of stone, quartz, pebbletech or regular plaster. These options also come in a variety of colors so be sure to take a look at samples to help you decide. Another item your contractor will put in is your decking. You can use tile, stones or cool deck, which is a stone-like decking that does not absorb heat.

Now that the elements of your pool are complete, you can fill it with water, put in the proper mix of chemicals, and enjoy playing in your new pool on a hot summer day!
