If you are a happy owner of a country house, sooner or later you will come to the idea of creating a swimming pool. However, not always the size of the plot allows this. And then you can use an unusual, but creative and popular in recent times - to equip the pool on the roof of a private house.
Types of pools on the roof
The pool that is created on the roof can be closed, open and simply covered. Closed design allows you to enjoy water procedures regardless of weather conditions and time of year.
Open the same pool can be used only in warm weather. But such a structure has one more disadvantage: the pool will have to be cleaned regularly, since it is not protected from getting into the water of various garbage.
Indoor pool - the most optimal design. It can swim almost year-round, and the shelter above it will protect the pool from rain and debris.
There are swimming pools installed on the roof of the house, and by type of construction. Quite often the owners of private houses decide to mount a fixed pool on the roof. Such a structure will have a significant mass, its depth can be different.
Such pools can be superficial or built-in. Surface construction is arranged directly on the roof itself and has a certain height. The built-in pool is installed level with the base of the roof, and its bowl is located inside the house.
The stationary pool is durable, practical and reliable. Care of it is to clean and replace water. For the winter, the water is drained and the basin is warmed. Indoor heating is necessary for an indoor pool.
Not so long ago there was another kind of pool - collapsible. It consists of a metal frame , an elastic bowl and various auxiliary elements: stairs, fortifications, etc. Such designs do not require regular repairs, and the bowl and frame can be used for a long time. For a collapsible pool, unlike a fixed structure, there is no need to build a base and walls. Collect and disassemble such a pool can be pretty quickly and easily.
Another type of pool on the roof is inflatable . This design is easy to install and disassemble. A durable and flexible polyethylene is used to make the bowl. Soft walls of this pool are convenient for bathing children. And the inflatable bottom will help to avoid various injuries when diving.
There are inflatable pools for the roof and their size. Their depth can range from 0.5 m to 1.2 m. The diameter of the bowl can also be different. Often it reaches 3 m.
It should be remembered that for installation on the roof of a large and deep pool it will be necessary to strengthen the entire structure of the building. Since the load on the foundation and walls of the house will increase significantly, it will be easier and easier to place a pool with a small bowl on the roof of a private house.
Water in the outdoor pool, located on the roof of the building, in the hot season will be heated by solar heat. Often, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the pool on the roof, a canopy above it is built of polycarbonate, which has good light conductivity.
If your apartment is located on the top floor, then such a pool can be built and on the roof of a multi-storey building, having previously received all necessary permits. Today, roofs of various entertaining establishments, sports complexes, hotels and even kindergartens are increasingly being equipped with swimming pools.
