Top 3 Tips when Considering a Pool

Do you want to cool down?

As the desert heat starts to abrupt in the depth parts of Tucson, it's a nice to go for a dip in the pool. Although that would be a lovely thing to do, not everyone has access to this fantastic feature. When considering getting a pool, it's important to note some tips for building a pool. Here are some things to keep in mind:

Zoning Laws:

-Just like cutting off a tree on your property, building a pool you must check on any laws/rules.  When considering the building of a pool, you must first check and make sure you can build on the land that you own. I know, it sucks that you must check rules to know if you can build a pool for land that you pay for, but sometimes the government gets in the way from allowing you to do so. Once you find out if you are able to build a pool on your property, it is recommended that you find out any restrictions that get in the way of the plan you want. Restrictions can be where you can place your pool or even the size of your pool. Once you find out if it is acceptable to build a pool, you must receive a permit saying you can do so. Also, if you want to create a pool deck once your pool is set, that will require another building permit. Although it requires some research, it's better to know if you can or cannot build a pool on your property before you get your hopes up.

Alerts-Safety:

-As you are trying to raise a family or be the best family member that you can be, you must keep in mind the safety of children. Many children try to run around the house. This can make it easy for them to slip into the pool and drown. However, by adding some security features, you can not only prevent this from happening, but you can also be alerted if it happens. One main feature that I would suggest is to install a childproof fence that will go around the pool. By doing this, the gate will provide a barrier from the kids falling into the water. Also, you can insert an alert that will occur if someone is to go into the pool. With this, if a kid accidentally falls in the pool when a guardian looks away, they will be notified and be able to attend to the child's needs. Although these tactics will increase the safety of a pool, a guardian should always be paying attention to what kids are doing.

Costs:

-Building a pool is a very desirable thing to do, however, it is important to know the potential costs. Costs vary depending on the size of the pool, the details you want on that pool, and the type of pool. Just like designing a house, you must pay attention to every little detail when constructing a pool. What size pool do you want? What color tile? What lighting? Will you add a jacuzzi spa? Well, the average cost for a pool is about $25,000, however, it can go up to $200,000 depending on what luxury features you want to add. In addition, after you have the pool made, you have to consider the costs of care. Maintenance costs are around $1,500 per year. Although pools and spas cost a good amount of money, it will be a good profit in the long run.
