Are you dreaming of a swimming pool but don't have an acre of land to put one on? Pool Masters of Brentwood, TN specializes in all pool installation and we can help you decide the best pool type for your space!
When considering which type of pool is best for your small backyard, there really isn't a strong advantage one way or the other, assuming you find the size/shape you're looking for. In other words, let's assume that you are only have a 7'x21' area for the actual pool. Fiberglass is limited in certain sizes, and depending on who the fiberglass manufacturer is, it is possible that fiberglass wouldn't be an available option in this case.
On the other hand, vinyl liner and concrete in-ground pools can be whatever shape you would like, with very few limitations.
Occasionally, homeowners wonder if fiberglass pools will fit around their house because of size. In cases where the pool is too big to enter the back yard on the left or right side of the house, it is not uncommon to simply crane the pool over the house - it's not as tough as it sounds!
Which pool will offer the least amount of maintenance/work? It's generally accepted in the swimming pool industry that among the 3 types of pools, concrete will be the most difficult to maintain on a seasonal and long-term basis. Vinyl liners are easier than concrete on a seasonal basis (in terms of chemicals and cleaning) but also must have their liner replaced on average every 8-11 years. Of the 3, fiberglass will certainly be the least amount of maintenance on a seasonal and long-term level.
What shape is best for a small backyard? The best answer to this question is "it depends". Why? Because every backyard is different and therefore you have to work with what is available to you. But one key to remember is that although curvy pools, like a kideny shape, lose some water space with their free-form characteristics, they also allow for more potential decking space. Remember, if you're looking to at least have a lounge chair on your pool's patio, you will need at least 7' of decking in that area. If you'd like to fit a table with chairs, you'll need even more. Free-form pools are very common in small backyards.
