When you have a pool, it can be hard to figure out what you need to do in order to make things the best they can possibly be. Oftentimes, people really struggle to figure out what they need to do, which is why many folks give up on the entire process altogether and let the condition of their swimming pools deteriorate. Although it can be easy to let things go, you can tighten things back up by using a few simple methods for success. For instance, you can work with a professional pool contractor to track your chemistry, and you can also work with other professionals to ensure a clean, healthy, beautiful pool area.
Typically, when you have a swimming pool area, you will have the main pool area and a separate patio section. Instead of keeping the two elements separate, you have an opportunity to create an island platform that hangs over a swimming area. Not only does an island platform look great, but the installation offers a lot of practical uses.
Check out some of the more unique island platforms for swimming pool designs and ways to really enhance your swimming pool construction.
1. Fire Pit Platforms
Enjoy a mix of fire and water with the installation of a fire pit island platform. A swimming pool building services company can install a fire pit that includes either a traditional wood-burning fire pit or a gas-powered fire pit. On nights where you find it too cold to swim, you have the opportunity to sit by the fire and still enjoy the nice views of the water.
A walkway can connect the platform to the outside of the pool so you do not need to enter the water to reach the fire pit. The platform can include enough space to fit multiple chairs and have an area where guests can lounge and enjoy the open flames.
2. Hot Tub Platforms
Add another body of water with a hot tub island platform. Expanded edges would offer ways to walk around the hot tub and create a natural barrier between the hot tub and the pool. A hot tub offers additional ways to relax and enjoy the water. The hot tub installation can include jets and massage features to really relax your body.
In some cases, a hot tub island could feature a built-in waterfall feature to help distribute warm water into the general pool area.
3. Tanning Lounge Areas
If you like to lay out in the sun, you have the opportunity to enjoy a tanning area with lounge chairs. The platform can give you quick access to cool down and feature a lot of relaxation as you surround yourself with the pool. You could also sit and hang your feet into the water. The rest of the regular pool patio can fit other furniture or cooking elements like a grill.
Contact pool contractors to help plan out your design and create something with a lot of use. With proper planning, the size of the pool doesn't need to have a big impact and can still feature all of the elements you seek.
