Two reasons to get a shade structure for your outdoor swimming pool

Here are two reasons to get a shade structure for your home's outdoor swimming pool.

You won't have to wait for the right weather conditions before you can have a swim

One of the best things about shade structures is that they can give pool owners the freedom to use their pools in a much wider variety of weather conditions. Without this structure, you might find that, for example, you prefer to avoid swimming in your pool in the afternoon, when the sun is in the middle of the sky and is so bright and strong that it makes it hard to see (due to its glare) or to remain cool whilst you're swimming (as the sun will heat up the water quite quickly). If you put a shade structure over the pool, however, you can take a dip even on the hottest of afternoons, without the water getting too warm or experiencing any issues with glare from the sun.

Additionally, if you order a shade structure that is water-resistant, you can even remain in the pool if the weather changes from sunny to drizzly, as this structure will stop the rainwater from getting into the pool. This could be particularly useful on occasions when you're lounging in the pool with a drink or are snoozing on your inflatable pool mattress and don't want rainwater to fall into your drink or onto you whilst you're relaxing.

You won't have to be as worried about sunscreen reapplication whilst you're in the pool

Whilst even shade structures with UV-protective coatings don't usually offer total protection from UV rays, they do offer some protection that can make the periods you spend in the pool on hot, sunny days significantly safer and more enjoyable.

The shade this item provides could allow you to spend more time in your pool on sunny days, without feeling constantly worried about, for example, some of the sunscreen potentially being washed away by the water and your face getting sunburnt. It will also mean that you won't have to disrupt your swimming sessions quite as frequently to get out of the pool to put on yet another layer of sunscreen. Instead, you can take the precaution of wearing water-resistant sunscreen, with occasional reapplication, safe in the knowledge that the shade structure will provide you with a second form of protection if some of your sunscreen accidentally gets rinsed or wiped off.

Harold's Home and Garden Advice

Hello! I'm Harold, and I am a very keen gardener and home DIY enthusiast. I started this blog as a result of a conversation I had with a friend. We were chatting with each other about the latest jobs we were planning to complete. I was giving my friend some tips when he suggested that I write a series of articles so I could pass on my wisdom to others. I learnt all about home and garden DIY from a local contractor who used to complete work for me. Eventually, I realised I knew enough to carry out the work myself.
