How to Make Your Pool More Private

Your pool should be a private oasis, emphasis on the “private.” After all, it’s hard to relax and unwind when you’re worried about the neighbors watching you. Plus, you don’t want your noise and conversation to be heard by everyone walking down the street. If you’re struggling with these kinds of issues or just want as much privacy as possible, don’t worry. There are plenty of things you can do to make your pool feel more intimate.

Put Up A Fence

First things first, a good fence can work wonders! You should already have a safety fence installed around your pool just to keep kids and pets protected. (If you don’t, install one right away). When you pair a safety fence with a good perimeter fence, you should experience a big boost in privacy. Not only will you be safe from staring neighbors and passersby, but you should also experience improved noise insulation as well.

Add Some Shrubbery

For an added dose of privacy, consider planting shrubbery all around your pool. Not only does it increase privacy, but it can increase beauty as well. You can pick shrubs of your choice, though you’ll want to avoid anything that attracts bugs, drops a lot of debris, or requires excess maintenance.

Consider Placement Carefully

If your pool hasn’t been installed yet, then you can practically build privacy into the pool itself! Let your pool builder know that privacy is important to you. Together, you can discuss placement options that would provide you with the most privacy, as well as each option’s other pros and cons. Sometimes, placing pools in less common spots or building complete pool areas can make a pool a lot more intimate. However, many of these changes are only possible before a pool is built, so you’re better off communicating your desires upfront.

Ultimately, whether your pool is already installed, in the process, or soon-to-be installed, rest assured that there is always something you can do to make it more to your liking. In fact, their versatility is one just another thing to love about pools!
