If you are considering having a pool in the garden<\/strong> or on the terrace of your home<\/strong>, here is how to choose the right one!<\/p>\n

Once you have identified the available space and set the budget, it is necessary to define the type of pool you want: above ground or in-ground<\/strong>.
\nThere are many pool solutions suitable for various needs and fortunately, it is no longer essential to have a very large garden to enjoy a pool.<\/p>\n

4 important things to know before buying a garden or terrace pool<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Take the correct measurements and make sure there is at least 2 meters of free space around the pool for installation and to use the living area. <\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Check that the space is free of trees nearby to ensure excellent sun exposure.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. The ground should be as compact and stable as possible, not rocky, spongy, or affected by landslides.<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. For domestic use, the recommended volume is about 50 cubic meters.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    3 main advantages of above ground pools<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Lower price compared to in-ground pools<\/em><\/li>\n
    2. Easy placement even on the terrace<\/em><\/li>\n
    3. Can be removed during the winter season. <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Above ground pools<\/strong> can be made of laminated PVC or inflatable. It is recommended to choose PVC pools when the ground is uneven and greater stability is desired. The inflatable version is more suitable for the terrace because the structure weighs less and the flat ground reduces the risk of accidental damage.<\/p>\n

      The in-ground pool<\/strong> is certainly more solid and durable, but excavation is required along with the appropriate internal lining. To build an in-ground or semi-in-ground pool<\/strong> in your garden, it is mandatory to obtain proper authorizations from the competent authorities. You need to contact the Comune to verify the exact planning process and allowed technical characteristics (volume, position, water drains, liner colors, landscape restrictions, etc.). The project must be filed with the signature of a qualified technician, attaching a report on all urban planning, building, health, and safety compliances, as well as self-certifications regarding current regulations.<\/p>\n

      This type of pool should be planned well in advance and involves a higher cost. However, it has the advantage of being able to be covered and therefore used even during the cold season.<\/p>\n

      Wherever you want to place the pool, in the garden or on the terrace, it is important to remember to purchase the cleaning kit to keep it hygienic at all times.<\/p>\n

      It is also recommended to add appropriate chlorine-based solutions to the water to prevent the formation of algae and fungi.<\/p>\n

      During the warmer months, an isothermal cover, completely impermeable to vapor, is advisable to retain the heat acquired during the day without losing it overnight. In winter, it is essential to protect the water surface with an ultralight and tear-resistant cover. It must be frost-resistant and withstand ultraviolet rays, responsible for algae formation.<\/p>\n
