Pools

There are plenty of reasons for homeowners to love the fact that they can enjoy their above ground pool during the summer. For some, a pool allows their kids to have fun and exercise while also getting some sun. Others might enjoy the fact that they can enjoy their pool and relax after a long day. You may also appreciate that you can invite friends and family over to enjoy splashing around in the warm weather. But what about during the fall? 

The temperatures might fall to some extent, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy your above ground pool. It might take a little bit of creativity and ingenuity, but here are some exciting ways for you to extend the use of your above ground pool into the fall. 

Add A Fire Pit

What are some reasons that families stop swimming during the fall? The answer is simple – it’s a lot colder to swim outside than it was during the summer. If you want to make sure that you are swimming well into the fall months, consider adding a fire pit. This can not only help add some light and heat to your swimming experience, but it can also make the overall backyard ambiance more welcoming.

Of course, a fire pit can do a lot more than making swimming more pleasurable. A fire pit can also help you celebrate and socialize with friends and family after dark. 

Add A Pool Cover

Some people might consider swimming well into the fall, but dislike that it costs a lot to add a pool heater. One smart way to reduce pool heating costs is to purchase the right pool cover. According to Energy.gov, incorporating a pool cover can reduce your pool heating costs by as much as 70%. It’s easy to see how this might change someone’s mind about continuing to enjoy swimming past the summer. It can also help minimize evaporation and reduce pool chemical consumption, as well.

Additional Lights

One of the great things about having a pool is that you can swim during the night, which can be an incredible experience if you have a great view or enjoy seeing the stars while you swim. However, there are some safety concerns when it comes to swimming at night. 

If you want to make sure that your family is safe while they take a cool fall swim, additional outdoor lighting can help bring some light and heat into the situation. One fun way to help “light up” your night swims involve tiki torches. If that isn’t really your style, you could also use string lights. Additional lights are not only a great way to help you continue to use your pool during the fall but can help you make your backyard more interesting and attractive.
