Choose based on how you’ll use it

The right size depends more on usage than the number on the page.

Lounging and kids play

Shorter lengths work great, prioritize entry options and open shallow space.

Swimming for exercise

Longer lengths feel better, 16’×36’ and up gives more comfortable swim room.

Hosting and entertaining

More surface area means more room for guests, seating, and features.

What to measure before choosing a size

A few quick checks can save a lot of headaches later.

Your available backyard width and length

Measure your open space and keep room for access, setbacks, and your preferred layout.

Space for decking and walking room

Plan for comfortable traffic flow, lounging space, and any future upgrades you might want.

Where equipment will sit

Leave room for the pump, filter, and optional systems like salt or automation.

Slopes and obstacles

Take note of fences, trees, utilities, and any grade changes that impact your planning.

If you’re unsure, send your yard dimensions and we’ll help you choose the best size.
