FAQ About Garden Pools
The prices for a garden pool are very wide. This is because there are not only a wide variety of sizes, but also different designs, each with a different purpose. For example, if you want a heated whirlpool or want to swim properly, you will have to pay significantly more than for inflatable versions.
What you need for a garden pool depends on the design. If it is not exactly a small paddling pool, special care products and cleaning accessories are necessary (e.g. chlorine, measuring devices, …). A cover is also important. One should always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and safety instructions. The substrate should also be chosen or adjusted conscientiously.
How big a garden pool should be depends on the individual needs of the user:inside. If you want to swim properly, you should choose a pool with at least 32 square meters. This must of course be wide enough, especially common is a size of 4 by 8 meters. In addition, it should be considered who will use the pool and when. Several simultaneous swimmers, of course, require significantly more space.
There are round, oval and rectangular garden pools. Which pool is chosen is primarily a matter of taste. Square pools are more comfortable to swim in (from a certain size). For splashing and refreshing, the shape makes no difference. It depends on the visual characteristics of the environment and the preferred design.
