Pool ideas in Southeast
A Southeast pool is used for a long, humid season, so shade, drainage and old-yard constraints decide the design. Here is 1 design drawn for Southeast.
What to know before you pick
Heat and humidity mean shade, ceiling fans under a pergola and a deck that does not hold water make the yard usable.
Red clay and mature trees are common. Roots, drainage and soil movement all shape the excavation.
Summer thunderstorms are frequent. Plan where the water runs off the deck and keep electrical equipment high and dry.
Historic and coastal neighborhoods can have design review. Ask about fence, structure and lighting rules early.
