Building a pool house

Have you already fulfilled your dream of having a pool in your garden? Then there is only one thing missing for your outdoor wellness oasis: a modern pool house! Why not build a luxury outdoor garden pool house yourself and design it according to your wishes. 

The pool house can serve a variety of purposes. As a changing room for bathing fun, or to elegantly conceal the necessary pool equipment for the swimming pool. With cosy furnishings, however, you can also turn it into a covered lounge, a guest room or a modern home office. Those who like it more active can set up a gym in the pool house and cool off directly in the pool after a workout. Even a pool house with a sauna is possible to make the outdoor wellness oasis perfect. 

Building a pool house: this is how it's done!

  • Everything starts with a good foundation: Aneta has built herself a substructure. Eight beams are mounted on eight stable points made of stone slabs, gravel and concrete. It is best to use a spirit level and a plumb line to make sure that everything is straight and the same height. 
  • Always make sure that everything is in the water: OSB boards were then laid on top of the beams and the substructure of the house was laid on top of that. 
  • Step by step to the goal: From then on, simply follow the building instructions for your kit. Log kits are easy to assemble and particularly suitable for outdoor use.
  • Tip: If you want to use your pool house as a garden house in winter, you should insulate it, e.g. with insulation boards or rolls.

For experienced do-it-yourselfers, the project is easy to create, as there are prefabricated kits available in DIY stores or on the Internet, which you can then design in the garden according to your own wishes

A stable foundation is important, as you want to enjoy your pool house for a long time. For this, the ground must be completely level and firm.

Colouring the pool house with the sprayer

You can then paint the pool house. It looks particularly modern and harmonious if you use colours that match the rest of your garden and furniture. The easiest way to do this is with a paint sprayer, e.g. the Universal Sprayer W 590 FLEXiO. Especially for large areas, you will be much faster. And even the grooves between the planks are no challenge, because the spray jet gets there without any problem.

Swimming pool in the garden: design tips and ideas

Large windows or, as in our example, a front made of sliding glass doors provide plenty of light and offer a view of your swimming pool and the greenery – a holiday feeling! You can also connect a terrace directly to the pool house for sun loungers or a cosy seating area for social evenings. You can also easily repaint or varnish garden furniture made of wood or metal so that it matches your pool house perfectly. 

The entire garden now has a uniform design, if the metal or plastic on an above-ground pool doesn't look very attractive. No problem - just make a wooden pool surround this will match your new pool house perfectly! You can see how easy it is in our video

Why spraying is better!

With a paint sprayer, it’s incredibly easy to apply the material evenly and to cover the entire surface. The end result is a smooth and even layer of paint. When using a brush, brush marks tend to be visible.
