Patio Furniture & Landscaping Around Your Pool
By: Berni Wideman

From outdoor furniture to storage areas, the items you choose to include in your backyard should complement your outdoor living experience. Here are a few options to consider:

Patio Furniture
 
 
 

Kick back and relax with outdoor furniture that fits your particular taste and comfort levels.  There is a wide variety of outdoor furniture choices available for you. 

Big parties: For those who love to entertain, consider having outdoor furniture to accommodate a lot of guests without over-crowding your entertainment area.  Choose bar stools, lounges, and even large bed-lounges as well as cushioned chairs and tables for dining or socializing.

Different Materials: There are several materials to choose from, the most popular being teak, redwood, cedar, iron, and wicker.  Create a foundation that is consistent and then add variances of colors where appropriate.

Wheels: Adding wheels to your furniture can help you to organize and re-design on a whim.  Plus the wheels make it easy to move furniture to safety in the event of a storm.

Landscaping

Plants: Choose from different plants that will work well in your climate while making your outdoor landscape shine.  Consider using large planters, interchanging plants throughout the year to match the seasons.  You can incorporate hanging plants, garden trees and other ideas.  Having a spice garden near your outdoor kitchen is a great idea to consider.  One thing you don’t want around your pool are plants that lose their leaves in the fall because they will go right in your pool and can stain the pool and create a lot of work.

Stones: Rock gardens can be extremely beautiful.  Choose stones that blend with the colors of your landscape design and use different sizes and shapes.  Some may have a circular area with rounded stones as the base and then a bird bath or sun dial in the middle.  Open up your inner Zen and let your creativity flow.

Storage: Implement storage containers that blend into your outdoor environment but also serve a practical purpose to store tools, hoses and other items.

What to Look for When Purchasing A Fire Bowl

 


Have you ever seen fire bowls around a pool and been really impressed by the aesthetic? A fire bowl for your pool is one of the hottest pool trends right now. You'll wow all of your family and friends at any pool gathering with a new set of copper, metal, or concrete fire bowls. Fire bowls can add classic style to a home or provide a romantic ambiance for special occasions. They create an ideal focal point for a pool and offer ample heat and light. As you think about this option for your new in-ground pool or this year's pool upgrade, take the following information into consideration.
There is a range of pool fire bowls on the market. As you explore your options, you should look for the following characteristics:
  • Easy to install
  • Can be used with natural gas or propane
  • Can be operated with a remote from any pool operated system
  • Approved burner assembly with flame monitoring technology
  • Minimum one year warranty
  • Technical support from the company
Whether you are looking for a simple banded bowl or a large, tall decorated bowl, there is a perfect fire bowl for your pool for virtually every pool owner. Fire bowls are available in a variety of shapes with different details such as banded rims and pedestals. Consider the style of your home and your yard as you explore fire bowl options. Some bowls are more suited for modern styles with other bowls preferable for older, classic styles. Just a few of the most popular bowl styles include banded rim, Windsor, Biltmore, Tuscano, Corinthian, garden bowl, and Fiore.
Are you having trouble finding a pool fire bowl that fits your needs and preferences? Some companies offer fire feature inserts that you can use in your own custom designed fire bowls.
Another great aspect of pool fire bowls is that you have complete control over the number of bowls that you'd like for your pool area. Some pool owners keep it simple with one or two low, round bowls while other pool owners install a set of four tall bowls with intricate pedestals.
However you choose to accent your pool, Shasta can help you design a backyard living environment that fits your style perfectly.
