Pool ideas in Midwest
A Midwest pool lives with a hard winter, so the swim season, the cover and the winterizing plan are part of the design. Here is 1 design drawn for Midwest.
What to know before you pick
The pool is usually closed for the winter. A safety cover, drained lines and a plan for the first warm weekend are normal costs of ownership.
Freeze and thaw cycles move decks. Pavers, a good base and joints that can flex last longer than a rigid, thin surface.
A pool heater or a heat pump stretches the season at both ends. Think about it while the equipment pad is being planned.
Back yards are often generous but fenced, so there is room for a deck, a lawn and a pergola without crowding the water.
