Looking for a way to keep the pool water outside the house next summer? Now is the time to start thinking about getting an Amish pool house for your outdoor living space.
A pool house is the perfect blend of living and storage. It can be furnished with changing rooms, bathrooms, or living spaces, and it gives you an extra area to store pool toys or accessories.
Here at Pleasant Run Structures, we offer three types of pool houses, all of which are customizable to fit your exact needs. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of designing your perfect Amish pool house.
The first step of the process is to learn about your town or city’s zoning and building codes. Give your local town office a call to know whether you’ll be needing a permit to build your pool house.
If a permit is needed, contact us to get basic floor plan drawings of the pool house type you were thinking of purchasing so the town can accurately review the information.
Once the permit is secured, it’s time to choose the size and type of foundation your Amish pool house will rest on.
Pleasant Run Structures installs one of three types of foundations: stone beds, concrete footings, and concrete slabs. While all of these will work, it should be noted that a concrete slab has the longest life span.
You should also take the time to measure how big you want your pool house to be, as this is the size of foundation you will need to install.
Now that you have a permit and a plan for the foundation, it’s time to look at our Amish pool house styles!
Our builders offer three main style types of pool houses: the Preston for a more elegant and elevated appeal, the Newport for a classical feel, and the Doherty for a charming southern aesthetic.
Each of these styles is customizable to suit your needs. They can be outfitted with full living areas, or be small enough for storage and a changing area depending on need.
Once you’ve picked the overall style and decided which parts you might want to customize, it’s time to pick out the design elements that will make your Amish pool house unique.
If you’re looking for continuity, consider using the same type and color siding as that of your house. You could even opt to use the same shingle type as well.
If you want something different, consider painting your pool house a complementary color. Whatever you decide, Pleasant Run Structures will help you achieve it.
Once your Amish pool house is fully designed, our team will get building. We’ll work with you to plan the best delivery date, time, and best routes to take during transport.
Once on the property, it’s only a matter of unloading your pool house onto the foundation and making sure everything is level!
If delivery is not an option, you will also have the ability to order your pool house as a kit, and our crew will come out and build it on-site.
Choosing to add an Amish pool house to your outdoor space is a big decision, and sometimes cookie-cutter options just aren’t the right decision to make.
Pleasant Run Structures is committed to providing you with the outdoor structure of your dreams with as little stress as possible. Ready to start designing?
