If someone had told you a year ago that you wouldn’t be able to take a dip in the ocean because a notorious virus is spreading across the globe, you would have thought they were crazy!

Nevertheless, now that you’ve had to throw your vacation plans down the tube, it’s time that you thought of a way to salvage this time off. You’ve got the budget, and you have a staycation planned.

What could make it better? A swimming pool, right in your backyard!

With everything planned out, all that’s left is the type of shape your pool should help. Perfect Pools can help you take care of it all!

Deciding on the Right Pool Shape

With pool shapes, it doesn’t all come down to your preference.  Each shape has its pros and cons. So, let’s find out which one would suit your needs:

– Rectangle Pool

It’s the classiest shape for most backyard pools!

An excellent choice if you favor a sleek, modern design with cut edges and lines, a rectangular pool adds to the beauty of your home without overwhelming it. It’s also the right choice if you have a large family, or your family members like to swim laps.

However, some think that the rectangular pool takes a lot of space, and can be too old-fashioned to be interesting. However, if you work with Perfect Pools, you can be sure they’ll be nothing boring about your backyard!

– Oval Pools

Perfect for smaller homes that have a small backyard, the oval pool’s design is fluid (if you’ll pardon the pun) and complements almost all architectural designs. Its rounded edges also make it the right choice if you have a hot tub in the corner. But be warned, oval pools are more fashionable and tropical.

So, unless your home’s architecture is also a blend of modern and traditional, you may want to skip this one.

– Kidney Pools

Softer than your average oval pool and rounded, kidney pools are probably the Goldilocks choice of pools.

Indented on one side, kidney pools are a good choice if you have kids, since these pools allow easier placement for a shallow end and a deep end. Kidney pools are also easier to accessorize with greenery, water features, or even waterfalls.

More natural-looking than most pool designs, the kidney pool adds the oasis factor to your backyard oasis.

– Figure 8 Pool

A particular favorite for most family homes, the figure 8 pool, is a variation of the kidney pool, only with a more defined curve to make that “8” design.

This design also offers more natural separation for a shallow zone and deeper zone. And offer more design opportunities as well for spas, added greenery, and outdoor seating. If you want to give your backyard a unique, modern look, the figure 8 pool is the one for you.
