Inground Pool Shapes
Filed Under Construction & Designs
New techniques in pool construction have let the range of inground pool shapes go way beyond the classic rectangle, oval or kidney designs that were popular in the past. This is particularly true for concrete pools that have undergone a revolution with the advent of spay on-concrete, and can now be easily custom built into any imaginable shape. But even fiberglass and vinyl pools, which are not custom built, are manufactured with a wide selection of shapes and sizes.
However, even though all kinds of creative swimming pool shapes are possible, crazy shapes do pose some difficulties. Complicated pools are difficult to fit with decking or may require sophisticated landscaping patterns. This is why swimming pool shapes based on a combination of geometric shapes such as ovals, circles, rectangles, octagons, etc. are often best. But occasionally, land features, such as lot shape, rock formations, etc. do call for an oddly shaped pool.
It’s understandable that the large variety of available inground pool shapes may be a bit overwhelming. One way to narrow down your choices is to go with a swimming pool shape that goes well with your house’s look and style.
