With the temperature skyrocketing during the summer months in Australia, it makes sense to start looking at your pool design options. After all, how better to spend those hot months than immersed in cold, refreshing water?

Unfortunately, section sizes are getting smaller and smaller, which means you have less space to work with to create your dream pool. That doesn’t mean you can’t have what you want, but you have to think outside of the square. Here are some of the best pool designs for small spaces.

Plunge Pool

If your need for a pool is more about keeping cool than swimming laps, then a plunge pool might be the answer. It doesn’t take up much room but has the depth you need to cool off and relax. A plunge pool is also more affordable to install due to its small footprint and is more cost-effective to heat as well.

Hidden Pool

If money is not a factor in your decision, then a hidden pool could be the answer to your to small section woes. A hidden pool is one that hides underneath your outdoor entertainment area. Then, at the click of a button, your decking timber can slide back, revealing the pool underneath. Once you finish swimming, you can then push the top back on and resume above-water activities like barbecuing or tennis.
