Rectangular Inground Pools
Choosing the Right Rectangular Pool Size for Your Backyard
Your Premier Inground Pool Builders in Tennessee
A rectangular pool can be the highlight of your backyard or the thing that throws off the whole vibe. Its clean, straight lines offer a modern, classic look, but picking the right size is crucial for the space to feel balanced. When a pool is too big or too small, it can look awkward and take away from the beauty of your property. At Certified Pool Builders, we bring decades of experience helping homeowners in Tennessee find the perfect fit for their yards.
Think About Your Yard’s Size and Shape
Start by looking at your yard as a whole. Rectangular pools, with their simple, geometric shapes, are highly versatile but need room to breathe. If your yard is tight, a huge pool might crowd the space and make moving around uncomfortable. A smaller model, like our 12' x 20' or 14' x 24' options, can be a perfect fit. On the other hand, a tiny pool in a large yard can feel out of place. We offer a wide range of sizes, from the standard 16' x 32' to the expansive 24' x 50', to ensure we can match any yard's dimensions.
Factor in Your Budget
Size affects cost, plain and simple. Bigger pools mean more materials, more labor, and higher ongoing maintenance costs. Our selection of over a dozen sizes helps you find the right balance between your vision and your budget. For instance, moving from an 18' x 36' to a 20' x 40' will naturally increase your investment. Keeping your budget in mind helps narrow down the best pool size for your backyard.
Consider How You’ll Use the Pool
Pools are for swimming, relaxing, and entertaining. The long, straight lines of a rectangular pool make it ideal for lap swimming and exercise. If you plan to host friends or family often, or if you have a large family, going bigger with a 20' x 40' or even a 24' x 50' might make sense. But if you mostly want a quiet spot to cool off, a smaller rectangular pool can fit the bill. Matching the pool size to how you’ll use it helps the space feel natural rather than forced.
Plan for Landscaping and Extras
Your pool is part of the whole outdoor setup. Space around the pool for patios, plants, and seating adds to the backyard’s flow. A rectangular pool with room for decking, lounge chairs, or a built-in spa invites relaxation. When you pick your size, think beyond the pool itself to how everything else fits around it. Our team can help you picture how different rectangular pool sizes will look in your backyard and guide you toward a choice that feels just right.
