Vista Pools is proud to serve Jenks, Bixby, Collinsville, Owasso, Coweta, Okmulgee, Tahlequah, and many other communities throughout the greater Tulsa area. As your trusted custom pool builder, we field a lot of questions, and one of the most common is whether to go with a freeform or rectangular pool shape.
Freeform or Rectangular: What’s the Difference?
There’s no objectively “better” shape, only the shape that’s right for your backyard and your style. Whether you’re drawn to a round, roman, kidney, or classic rectangular design, the right pool shape can elevate your outdoor space exactly the way you envision it.
Freeform Pools:
- A natural feel. Nature is full of rounded, imperfect edges, and a freeform pool brings that same organic, free-flowing feeling to your backyard.
- A statement piece. The curvy lines of a freeform pool create a playful, sometimes elegant first impression the moment someone sees it.
Rectangle Pools:
- A clean, modern look. The defined, straight lines of a rectangular pool deliver that classic, polished aesthetic most people picture when they imagine a backyard pool.
- Better suited for certain add-ons. Straight edges pair more easily with automatic pool covers than a curvy freeform design.
The Bottom Line
The best shape is the one that fits your family and your vision for your backyard. Whether you’re leaning toward a freeform fiberglass or gunite pool or a rectangular pool, Vista Pools is here to help design the backyard of your dreams.
