What can you do with your pool house?
Plant room, living area, storage area... your pool house can combine many functions. Describing a shelter or a cabin near the pool, a pool house is used to store equipment and pool accessories, but also to create a comfortable bathing-oriented area.
Practical and pleasant to the eye, the pool house can be transformed into a true outbuilding for your house. Hayward has suggestions for some possible arrangements.
An outdoor living area, the advantage of a good pool house
A siesta in the open air, reading under a parasol, thanks to an outdoor living area you can enjoy all these – provided that you are in the shade and sheltered from the wind! If you wish you can also add a large table to share meals with your guests.
A pool house with an outdoor kitchen
A kitchen equipped with a small fridge and a barbecue will be your best friend on sunny days. You can choose to install it inside or outside the pool house, and ideally it should be sheltered by an overhanging roof. Whether for a snack in the shade at 4 pm with the children, or to whip up a dinner for friends, this space will quickly become essential for the entire family.
Changing rooms, showers, toilets: comfort above all else!
A room that should not be forgotten when constructing your pool house? The changing rooms! Your guests will be grateful to be able to change calmly before enjoying your pool. You could add a cupboard with towels available for everyone: this will eliminate the problem of wet feet in the house! Accompanied by showers and toilets, this room will keep the bathing experience comfortable. Also opt to install an outdoor shower!
A storage space in the garden
Less fun but just as practical, the pool house can be transformed into a storage space. Garden tools, maintenance products, floats, deckchairs and other objects will find their place here.
Not forgetting the pool plant room!
You can choose to dedicate an area to the equipment required for correct operation of your pool. Thus, the pump, pool filter and other equipment will be kept in a sheltered and dry place, and out of reach of those curious little hands!
