Awesome Custom Features You Can Add in A Concrete Pool

September 22, 2023

Make your pool experience even more fun with these features.

Tanning ledges are one of the perfect concrete pool feature to add

It’s always a refreshing way to cool off from the heat with a dip in the pool. However, why not upgrade your pool experience even further with the help of adding custom features?


Concrete pools have their share of pros and cons. But the reason why concrete pools are still a favorite then and now is because of their perk of being customizable. With endless possibilities at your fingertips, you can create a one-in-a-million concrete pool infused with your personal style.


Crank up your personalization and customization experience while improving your pool with these awesome custom features!


Unique and Special Shapes

The rectangle and circle are the most common pool shapes to exist. However, why not try and break the mold, no pun intended, by deviating from those shapes and experimenting? While other construction materials limit your pool shape, concrete gives you the freedom to customize the shape. If you want your pool to look like a heart or a star or even an irregular shape, it’s possible. This is handy even if you have a small space in your property where you can shape your pool to fit.


Custom Tiles

Concrete pools are perfect if you want to add custom tile work, thanks to their smooth and flat surface. There are plenty of ways you can incorporate your custom tile work into your concrete pool. One of the many ways is to tile the entirety of your pool, and the second is to tile select areas of your pool like the edges, the walls, the steps, or all three. What’s more, you can choose what tile design you like to install. Whether you want it to match the look and theme of your home or something out of the box, you’re free as a bird to do so.


Swimming Pool Bar

Cocktails and pools are perfect together since they’re both refreshing and fun, whether shared with others or enjoyed alone. They’re also a great combination that can ensure optimal rest and relaxation. But why get out of your pool and head to the bar when you can just swim up to your bar and enjoy a drink while in your pool? If you love parties or cocktails while swimming, a swimming pool bar or swim-up bar is a great additional feature for you.


Personal Waterfall

Add something elegant, sophisticated, and beautiful to your pool with a personal waterfall. By installing the waterfall as part of your pool or an extension instead of a standalone, you can enjoy an experience under the cascading waters. Not only that, but watching and listening to the sound of rushing water your waterfall creates can be relaxing to your body and mind.


Tanning Ledges

One flaw in pools is that sometimes there’s no in-between. You either have to get into the water or get out of it. You can dangle your legs, but what if you prefer to be in the water but not fully submerged? Tanning ledges are the answer to that little problem. Also considered as the ‘kiddie pool’ for adults, this shallow part of your pool allows you to bask under the sun even while in the water.


Concrete pools offer a lot of perks, and one of them is allowing you to do extensive customization to fit your style, needs, and preferences. Each and every element in this blog adds beauty and convenience to your pool experience. However, before you start adding anything to your own pool, it’s essential to do your research first. Plan your vision and hire a reliable contractor that can help you achieve your goal.
