Summer is the perfect season to relax, unwind, and enjoy the pleasures of your own backyard. If you’re the proud owner of a Doughboy® pool, you’re already well on your way to creating the ultimate summer vacation right at home. Here are some tips to transform your backyard into a summer paradise with your Doughboy pool as the centerpiece.
1. Set the Scene with Comfortable and Stylish Outdoor Furniture
Creating a comfortable space around your Doughboy pool is essential for enjoying long summer days outdoors. Invest in high-quality outdoor furniture that complements the style of your pool. Consider loungers for sunbathing, a sturdy table for outdoor meals, and plenty of comfortable seating options for guests. Adding colorful cushions and outdoor rugs can tie the whole area together and make it more inviting.
2. Enhance the Ambiance with Lighting
As the sun sets, proper lighting can keep your pool area lively and safe. Solar-powered lights can be placed around the pool’s perimeter or hung from umbrellas and trees to create a magical evening glow. Waterproof LED lights can also be added directly into the pool for a fun and festive touch.
3. Create a Lush Landscape
Surround your Doughboy pool with a variety of plants and flowers to create a lush, private paradise. Choose native plants that thrive in your local climate to ensure low-maintenance beauty. Incorporating different heights and textures with shrubs, flowering plants, and tall grasses not only enhances privacy but also adds to the overall aesthetics of your pool area.
4. Plan for Shade
To fully enjoy your pool on the sunniest days, ensure there are ample shaded areas for cooling off. Large umbrellas, pergolas, and natural shade from trees can protect you and your family from the intense midday sun. Consider a sun shade or retractable awning for a versatile option that can provide shade when needed and retract for nighttime stargazing.
5. Incorporate Fun Pool Accessories
Maximize the fun with a variety of pool accessories and games. Floating loungers, beach balls, and inflatable games are great for kids and adults alike. For fitness enthusiasts, consider adding a volleyball net or water weights for aqua workouts. These additions bring more enjoyment and functionality to your pool experience.
6. Keep Snacks and Refreshments Handy
No need to trek back and forth to the kitchen—keep snacks and refreshments nearby with a poolside cooler or a mini outdoor kitchen or bar. Stock it with plenty of hydrating drinks, fresh fruits, and light snacks to keep everyone energized and hydrated throughout the day.
7. Regular Maintenance
To ensure your pool remains the inviting oasis it should be, regular maintenance is key. Keep the water crystal clear and chemically balanced with our easy-to-follow care instructions. Regularly check and clean the filter, maintain the proper pH level, and ensure the pump is functioning well. Doughboy pools are designed for durability and ease of maintenance, so you can spend more time enjoying and less time caring for your pool.
8. Invite Nature Into Your Backyard
Consider installing a bird feeder or a butterfly garden across from your pool area to attract wildlife and add a serene natural element to your poolside experience. Watching birds and butterflies can add a peaceful ambiance and help you feel more connected with nature.
9. Personal Touches
Finally, personalize your pool area with items that reflect your style and interests. Whether it’s outdoor art, decorative stakes, or a display of found natural objects, adding personal touches will make your pool uniquely yours.
