Slide Options For An Inground Pool

A slide is an addition to your new inground pool that can make each swimming session more enjoyable. A pool contractor who designs and installs swimming pool equipment may supply immobile sliding boards, aesthetical components, and waterfall effects. 

A Slide That Can Be Used By Everyone In Your Family

Covered and uncovered sliding boards include sloped slides, tunnels, and partially covered models. The slide that you select should meet your family's needs. If you have small children, you may be interested in purchasing a slide that will be both supportive of their needs and to the needs of you and your spouse.

Many slide models may contain safety grips, a slightly textured surface, and overhangs. The amount of space that you have around your pool and the type of property design that you prefer may prompt you to choose a basic or fancy slide. 

Custom Layouts And Accent Pieces

Choosing to have an immobile slide added to the decking that surrounds your pool may increase the value of your water feature. Consult with a pool contractor about various slide layouts. A basic slide is a piece of equipment that you can build upon in the future.

Investing in a slide and eventually deciding to add accent pieces around it is one option. If you would like to have the slide and all of the surrounding decor installed at the same time, you will need to consider how much space you have to support the addition and decide upon the overall function of the pool equipment.

A slide can be used for recreational activities but can also be used to add beauty to your pool area. Engineered stone panels are a product that is often used to enhance the area where a slide will be installed. The steps to a slide can be concealed behind a stone wall or set up alongside it. Landscaping foliage can be planted on parts of the wall to provide aesthetics that look natural.

If you would like to enjoy cascading water while using the slide, ask your contractor to show you some materials that can be used to create a waterfall. Equipment that is necessary for the installation of a waterfall may include hoses, a submersible pump, a filter, and lighting. If you will be using the new slide during the day and the night, set up the addition next to a firepit or lounge furniture that you and your family enjoy using while spending time outdoors.
