Improve Your Quality of Life by Adding a Swimming Pool to Your Home


If you live in an area like Western Australia, how often have you sat in your back yard on a hot sunny day dreaming of cooling off in your own pool? In areas with more sunshine hours than cloudy days a pool for many is the ultimate luxury. Yet a home pool can be well within the reach of a large proportion of the population. You Can’t Put a Price on One’s Quality of Life Even without realising it, once a pool is installed, your quality of life will start to improve.

Picking and Positioning Quality Fiberglass Pools for Your Perth Home


There are many potential uses for fiberglass pools in every home. They can provide somewhere to cool off during the hot summer months, they can provide a convenient place to exercise for the whole family, and they can offer a play area for kids and adults. Choose the type, including shape and dimensions, of pool that best suits your needs and your preferences and then choose a finish and colour that you like. Choosing A Position Ideally, your pool should be situated out of the wind, although it is possible to erect hedges and other windbreaks if you must situate a pool in a windy position. Most pools are installed at the rear of the property, and you should try to choose an area that is free from the shade of buildings and trees. Overhanging trees can also cause problems with fallen leaves and other debris entering the pool.

Useful and Beautiful: Why Perth’s Householders Choose Swimming Pools


Perth is the sunniest state capital in Australia, enjoying an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine every year. It's no wonder that there are quite a few plunge pools across Perth. Pool-owners can enjoy a cool, revitalising dip after a day's work, and be the envy of their pool-less friends. There is a swimming pool to suit all properties, too. Plunge Pools Plunge pools are small, just a few metres across, so are ideal for more compact gardens. They are named for their resemblance to natural plunge pools, deep eroded pools are sometimes found at the feet of waterfalls. It's a romantic ideal to bathe in one of these, but you can experience the same refreshing submergence in an artificial backyard plunge pool.

Perth Swimming Pools: Building the Ideal Contemporary Aussie Backyard


Throughout the years, a lot has changed in the way residential properties Down Under are designed and built. Homes constructed in the 1980s, for instance, have a somewhat different look from those built in succeeding decades. In terms of design and function, the backyard has undergone a notable transformation. Experts have observed that in general, backyards in Western Australia these days are much smaller, easier to maintain, and more modern in appearance. So-called designer backyards now typically range in size from 50-100 metres (as opposed to 150 metres in earlier years), have much smaller gardens, and sport neutral but sophisticated colour schemes. That being said, you need not sacrifice child’s play or outdoor recreation even if you have rather limited backyard space.

Pool Companies in Perth: How to Choose a Colour for Your Pool Finish


Aside from the actual swimming experience, the ability to fully customise your pool’s appearance can be immensely satisfying. Pool companies in Perth give you the freedom to choose the shape, style, size and even the colour of your pool. Colour, in particular, can impact your pool’s appearance to a significant degree. For instance, a darker colour can make a relatively shallow pool seem deeper.

Why Fibreglass Pools Continue to Enjoy High Customer Demand in Perth


The weather in the southwest portion of Western Australia is mostly sunny. Even with a few months of mild winters and rainy seasons, the state’s Mediterranean-style climate gets the best of the weather. Perth is known to have the most number of sunny days per year than any other city in the country. With such odds, it’s no wonder why many residents turn to their local fibreglass pool companies to help them beat the heat. The hot weather, however, is not the only reason why fibreglass pools are in such high demand. Danger in the (Open) Water Roy Morgan Research acknowledges Perth as Australia’s swimming pool centre. The city leads the country in terms of pool ownership, such that travellers flying above the capital can see pools in homes from thousands of miles above ground. According to the findings, 18 percent of all households in Perth have swimming pools installed, which is way above the national average.

Should You Choose a Lap Pool or a Plunge Pool for Your Perth Home?


Pools make a lovely year-round respite under Perth’s warm and sunny weather, especially during summer when the heat can be too much to handle. It’s no surprise, therefore, that pools have become a staple feature in many Perth homes. Fibreglass pools, in particular, are great options due to their durability, low maintenance requirements, and overall aesthetic appeal. When it comes to pool shape and size, however, should you go for a lap pool or a plunge pool? Lap Pool. Lap pools are generally designed for swimmers or individuals who would like to maintain a certain level of fitness. Such a pool is long enough for anyone to perform a considerable number of strokes with every lap, and deep enough for a tumble turn at each end. The lap section is typically free of obstructions like ladders and steps, and the sides are made straight so the swimmer can move through the water smoothly and safely.
