Should I get a rectangular or freeform (curvy) style pool?

The best answer to that question is- choose what is right for you and your style; however, let’s take a look at some features to help in the decision. 

Freeform or Rectangular Pool?

So, are rectangular pools better? Or freeform? There’s no objective right or wrong when it comes to choosing between a freeform and rectangular pool – but there is a right choice for you and your backyard vision. Whether it’s round, roman, rectangular, or even a kidney shaped pool, there’s a pool out there that can enhance your outdoor space just the way you like it.

Let’s do a quick breakdown of the differences between these two particular styles:

Freeform:

• Gives a more “natural” feeling. If you look in nature, you’ll find countless rounded and imperfect edges. If your pool follows this same concept, it can create a feeling of free-flowing, natural water. 
• Makes a statement. This isn’t to say that rectangle pools won’t also      have their own personalities, but the curvy, wiggly edges of a freeform pool can give a playful (or even elegant) feel the instant someone sees  it.

Rectangle:

• Gives a clean, modern feel. When you imagine a pool, most people typically picture that classic blue rectangle in a gorgeous, landscaped setting. The defined, solid lines in these pools feel clean, polished and add that nice little element of luxury. 
• Better suited for certain pool add-ons. This mostly refers to automatic pool covers rectangular pools are much more compatible with the straight edges of an automatic cover than a curvy design.

As always, the best decision is the right one for you and your family. Vista Pools is here to help design the backyard of your dreams!
