Despite what most people think, in-ground swimming pools aren't for everyone, and you might fall into this category. From the thought of having to use a bountiful amount of water to fill it to the amount of money put into maintaining cleanliness, the idea of having a pool can present itself as troublesome. The good news is that there isn't a concrete rule that defines pools as mere places to swim. With these innovative ways, you can repurpose your in-ground pool for use all year round. The best part is, there is no water involved.
A Sunken Patio
You can clean out your neglected pool and make way for outdoor furniture to create a sunken patio. The change in levels can be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, especially with the appropriate pool steps that lead guests into what feels like a private hangout area. Add the perfect outdoor lighting, and this will become your ultimate entertaining area.
An Outdoor Studio
You can also utilize an in-ground pool as space for a detached studio. If you have furniture lying around that you’re thinking of getting rid of, you can move it into this outdoor space to avoid investing in newer pieces.
However, you'll want to keep in mind that you'll need to allocate funds for roofing that will keep water out of this newly repurposed area. Would you like a quick tip? A-roofing works best!
Handball Court
You can also use an empty pool area to host handball events or other sports tournaments, such as volleyball and tennis. No more going to your local gym and dealing with unruly sports fans.
Party Dance Floor
Possibly the most entertaining option, this remodel requires a pool dance floor cover that’s sure to bring all the fun to any event. You can rent or buy a cover for your next BBQ or cocktail event. You can also use pool dance floor covers as entertainment staging and ceremony seating.
So why wait? These innovative ways to repurpose your in-ground pool can help you transform an empty, neglected area into a backyard space that is inviting and event-worthy.
