Adding accessories to your pool can transform it – not only adding new ways to enjoy it, but also enhancing its overall look and making the space more inviting. Most people think of adding things like a nice deck, lounge seats, and gazebos, which are all great choices. But you also have a lot of fun options, like water slides, that can help take your pool to the next level. The right water slide can not only add hours of fun to your water play, but it can also elevate the look of your pool to make a greater impression on guests and increase the value of your property.
Triad Associates can help you find the perfect water slide for your residential or commercial pool and then install it perfectly for safe and long-lasting fun. We also advise clients on the overall design and install additional elements that can complement the water slide and bring out other elements of the pool. We’re ready to help you get the most out of your pool, whether you are designing a new one or looking to upgrade the current pool you have.
Choosing the Right Slide
Just as there are many different options for your pool decor and accessories, there are many different styles of water slides from which you can choose. You can get a straight slide, or you can choose something that twists at the end, right as people are jetting into the pool. There are also corkscrew slides that give swimmers more twists and turns on the way down. You may choose a different style for the type of experience you want to offer, or you might choose it based on how it looks with your style of pool.
It’s also important that you choose a slide with the right kind of materials. The choice of material will determine how comfortable the slide is, how well it handles temperature extremes, how safe it is, and how easy it is to keep clean and in good condition. Our pool experts will help you explore the choices for your slide and give you tailored feedback to help you pick the right slide for your pool and your needs.
Placement of Your Water Slide
You may think that there’s not much to the placement of a slide. You just put it near the deep end and enjoy. But that’s not the only consideration! The placement of your water slide not only impacts how it will be enjoyed, but also how it will enhance your pool.
You can simply place your side next to the water’s edge, or you can create a designed space for your water slide. One popular option is to build a small, raised deck for the slide. The raised deck offsets the slide and accentuates the overall pool design. The bigger the slide, the bigger the deck can be. You can use the same stone for the raised deck as you do the rest of the pool deck, or you can use a contrasting stone to make a bigger impact. Our design experts will help you create the perfect design for a beautiful finished look.
Additional Decor and Water Features
You can create something truly amazing for your pool and your water slide just by choosing the right decor elements. For example, you can add large rocks around the base of the slide, as well as plant beautiful flowers or evergreens. You’ll instantly create a gorgeous design that will set the slide apart from what you’ll find on most pools, and it will have taken a minimum amount of work.
If you want to do more, you have so many options. To create a stunning design, you can have the slide placed directly on a large rock formation that looks like a waterfall. Water features can be added to the rocks so the water trickles down into the pool, creating what looks like a small spring or waterfall next to the slide. The entire formation can be designed with native plants, decorative stone, and accent lighting, creating a breathtaking final result.
You can also make minor adjustments to the water slide itself. For example, piping can be added to the top of the slide so that water runs down it, creating a perennially wet surface for smooth sliding. It’s a small addition that can make a big difference to how your guests enjoy the pool, whether you are updating your family pool or the pool for your resort or other commercial property.
There are so many more ways that you can upgrade your pool and the water slide itself. You are only limited by your imagination and your budget. Our design specialists will help you explore your options and give you advice on how best to bring out the beauty of your pool and the surrounding space, both through the addition of the right water slide and the addition of decorative elements like stone, lighting, and water features.
