• Easiest access,
because you can sit down on the side wall and
then swing your legs into the pool. This is especially
good for those with limited mobility.
•
A raised floor can be an inexpensive way to give
a partly in-ground appearance. It can also allow
for a deep area with less excavation.
•
Allows for year-round swimming in any weather.
• A sunroom makes an attractive and private
setting for your pool.
• If you choose
partial excavation, it costs less than a full
excavation.
• Heating costs are lower
than for outdoor pools. |
• Excavation
or a raised wooden platform would be needed to
create a deep area.
• If the
floor is not already concrete, a concrete pad
may need to be poured. 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 somewhat higher ceiling. |
