Finishing around the pool: why do we do it

When planning the installation of a pool in a summer cottage, you need to think through the options for outdoor decoration of the area around the pool bowl, because it is not only beautiful and functional, but also to some extent, is a constructive element that provides better and more durable fastening of the polypropylene bowl in the ground.

We will consider all the functions of the outdoor decoration of the pool in order and start with the installation:

Installation of a polypropylene pool implies the installation of a pool bowl in a foundation pit excavated on a territory of a summer cottage, with a flat rammed bottom. And in this case, the external finish around the pool looks like a blind area: the water from the pool does not directly hit the soil around the pool and does not erode, does not soften it, does not deform, does not create voids, i.e. does not violate the strength of the entire system (i.e., the pool bowl does not crack).

The functionality of having a finish around the pool is obvious:

If there is a finish around the pool directly, around the pool, there is no dirt, water that can create a traumatic situation (falling slipping), it is more pleasant to walk on a flat surface around the pool or lie on it, taking air and sun baths, and also different tile surfaces It’s much easier to remove sorts, boards and stone, sweeping, blowing off with a garden vacuum cleaner or flushing with water from a hose, while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the entire pool for a long time.

And it is the aesthetics of the design that is the first that catches the eye and is, nevertheless, the leading one when choosing the option of decoration around the pool:

Thanks to the right materials used to decorate the pool, you can create the effect of a Mediterranean resort, a suburban lake or a pond in stones and flowers, or an expensive pool made of stone or mosaic. The main thing is to choose the right materials.

Pool decoration: materials and installation features

Materials for decorating pools can be different, but they must always meet one requirement: the installation and decoration of pools is carried out on the street. Consequently, the materials should not only be moisture and water resistant (which is important precisely for the decoration of all pools), but also be sun- and frost-resistant, because this is the decoration of outdoor pools!

And so, how and how can you not only decorate your polypropylene pool in the country, but also make it more practical and functional, as well as create a certain mood from water procedures in your small sea or lake?

- tiled:ceramic, granite. Finishing the pool with tiles is the most classic, because it is a fairly familiar, affordable (both in cost and installation) type of decoration material. Ceramic or granite tiles are laid on a pre-prepared surface screed, at the same time making out the sides of the pool itself, and possibly the area around it. Such a pool is most similar to an open-air hotel pool and creates the feeling of a vacation in a sea resort.

- paving slabs or stone.If this is an artificial stone, then under it, as well as under ceramic tiles, you need a base screed or concrete side. If you use natural stone, then you can build a pool edge directly from it and the adhesive composition. But paving slabs for creating the sides of the pool is not used only to improve the area around the pool itself. It is laid, like all paving slabs, on a prepared smooth surface.

The stone finish of the polypropylene pool in the best way fits it into the design of any home and garden. And if, in addition, to decorate such a pool with certain vegetation, then you can create a small wild sea,

or a beautiful lake.

- a tree.  Wood pool decoration is currently still a new, but gaining popularity type of pool design in the country. As a tree, and this, in fact, can be its semi-synthetic analogue (a very practical, durable, aesthetic and affordable option), a deck board acts.

This option of arranging the territory around the pool is the fastest, most functional and beautiful: the board does not slip, does not decay, does not fade, is easily mounted (and if access to communications is necessary, it is dismantled), it does not heat up in the sun, and it keeps warm in cool weather.

Like stone, a terrace board fits perfectly into any garden design and combines well with other types of decoration materials used to decorate the pool.

- various kinds of polymer coatings:  modular PVC coatings. This method of finishing the pool of polypropylene is suitable only for the arrangement of the territory around the pool, i.e., recreation areas. Equipped with PVC or rubber modular tiles, the pool will more resemble a sports court than a chic pond. But, then, putting such a cover is not difficult. And from the point of view of safety around the pool, its functionality and practicality, polymer coatings withstand competition with a board, stone and tile.
