Pool ideas in the Gulf Coast
On the Gulf Coast, a pool has to handle humidity, salt air and storm surge risk as well as the heat. Here are 4 designs drawn for Gulf Coast.
What to know before you pick
Humid air keeps decks damp, so a textured, light-colored surface that dries quickly is safer underfoot.
Low, flat lots can hold standing water after heavy rain. Deck drainage and where the pool overflow goes matter more here than in a dry region.
Salt air is hard on metals. Stainless and aluminum parts should be marine rated, and fire features need their gas lines sized and protected for wind.
In a flood zone, the pool, the equipment and the fence may all have extra rules. Check the flood map for the lot before you fall for a layout.
