Constructing an indoor, in-ground pool—whether for a commercial facility or a private residence—is a major investment that delivers year-round use, long-term value, and a luxury experience. Because indoor pools require more complex engineering than outdoor pools, planning, design, and professional expertise are essential.
What Type of Pool Works Best Inside an Enclosed Structure?
Selecting the right pool type is essential when building an indoor swimming pool. Concrete pools are often preferred due to their durability, design flexibility, and ability to be customized to any shape or size. They integrate well into architectural plans and hold up over time.
Because indoor pools create a high-moisture environment, it’s also important to account for ventilation and humidity control. Materials like wood or drywall can deteriorate quickly indoors if not properly protected. Choosing moisture-resistant building materials and installing an effective dehumidification system will help preserve the structure and prevent long-term issues such as mold or structural damage.
Can I Build My Pool Now and Add an Enclosure Later?
Yes—many homeowners and businesses choose to install the pool first and add the enclosure later. The key is planning the full layout upfront. Ideally, the enclosure footings should be installed at the same time as the pool deck, ensuring a smoother and more cost-effective construction process.
What Accessories Should I Consider for an Indoor Pool?
The right accessories can greatly enhance comfort, efficiency, and long-term performance. An automatic pool reel helps control evaporation, retain heat, reduce energy costs, and limit chemical loss—while allowing the pool to be covered or uncovered in under two minutes.
Radiant in-floor heating is another popular upgrade. It improves comfort, keeps surfaces warm, reduces condensation, and creates a more enjoyable environment around the pool. These additions contribute to a more energy-efficient and user-friendly indoor pool space.
How Do I Get Started Building a Pool and Enclosure Together?
If you plan to build both the pool and enclosure at the same time, early coordination is essential. Let your pool builder know you intend to add an enclosure, and involve your enclosure provider as soon as possible. Aligning both teams during the design and engineering phase ensures proper placement, structural support, and a seamless installation.
First Steps to Designing an Indoor Pool
Research and planning are the foundation of any successful indoor pool project. Establish a clear budget early in the process. It’s essential to work with an indoor pool designer, architect, and possibly an interior designer to create a functional and visually appealing indoor pool environment.
Consider important features such as changing rooms, showers, and reliable humidity control through properly installed air ducts and ventilation. Additional requirements include water drainage, safe storage of pool chemicals, and evaluation of structural elements such as glass ceilings or skylights—particularly in snowy climates.
