A sunroom makes an attractive and private setting
for your pool.

pools. |

or a raised wooden platform would be needed to create
a deep area.

Concrete also may need to be poured if there is
any deep-area excavation.
• If you are
raising the floor, your room will need a higher
ceiling.

full-depth stair to enter the pool if you have limited
motion.
