One of the most stunning pool features is a beach entry, but will this option benefit your design? When deciding if a beach entry is a good choice, it is recommended to look at any potential drawbacks that come with this addition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A beach entry, also known as a zero entry, replaces steps in your pool entry. A slope starting at deck level mimics the gradual deepening of an ocean or lake. The deck level is usually minimally submerged with some being completely dry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The width of the beach entry is usually the width of the pool, though this can be customized.\u00a0It looks cool, but it\u2019s also functional<\/strong>. A beach entry helps everyone ease into the deeper water gently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re considering a beach entry, factors like aesthetics and building code compliance should be incorporated into your overall pool design. For example, consider using some kind of visual marker to help swimmers know where the slope begins. Stone markers or planters can indicate the shallow area. Fountains are helpful when indicating the depth of a pool. A good contractor will advise you on what works best for your pool style.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n For the entry area, you\u2019ll probably need to\u00a0use a material different from that which lines your pool<\/strong>. The wet-dry aspect of beach entries makes it so your pebble, quartz, or plaster finish may deteriorate. Natural flagstone is an excellent substitute. Another option is non-skid ceramic tile, though this option require extensive experience. If you\u2019re going for an all wet entry way you can stick with the material that lines your pool, whether it\u2019s pebble, quartz or plaster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Elderly, children, disabled persons, and pets all enjoy the benefits of a beach entry. A lack of steps makes it easy for everyone to get in and out of the water without much exertion. Kids and pets can splash and play in the safe, shallow water. Younger children often find the gradual slope of a beach entry to be less daunting than pool steps. Plus, anyone who may be extra sensitive to water temperature will enjoy the ability to submerge gradually.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Many variables go into being able to accommodate a beach entry\u00a0customization. Like, will your pool dimensions allow it? A proper slope takes up a good length of the pool. (Though this, as always, can usually be modified.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Also, what will you be using your pool for? If you like to dive, a beach entry may require you to lengthen your pool. If you\u2019re more of a sunbather, we suggest opting for a\u00a0tanning shelf\u00a0instead. It won\u2019t take up as much space. A typical price for an add-on like this is $3,000-$7,000, so make sure it\u2019s suitable for you needs when\u00a0calculating pool costs<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n And remember,\u00a0Premier Pools and Spas<\/strong>\u00a0can help you figure out if a beach entry is suitable for your design and lifestyle.
