There are few things better on a hot day than sliding into a backyard pool. A home pool is convenient and private. You never have to drive to a public space and share the water with other families that also want to cool off.
If you’re considering adding a pool to your home, use this guide to decide whether an above- or in-ground pool is right for you.
Getting their family to spend more time outdoors was important to Tom and Michelle Maiden, homeowners in Shenandoah Junction, WV. So they needed to find a way to maximize their two-acre lot.
When an architect estimated it would cost around $20,000 just to draft the pool house design plans, Tom and Michelle knew it was time to look for a company capable of tackling the whole project.
Some of the Homestead Structures team’s favorite backyard projects we’ve done have been in Wayne, PA, the suburbs of Philadelphia. From pool houses to a high-end garage, it is always a pleasure to build on the Main Line.
A pool is a fun and exciting addition to your home, but your plans can include more than just the shape of the pool, the texture of the flooring, and fixtures like the stairs and ladders. Even before the pool company breaks ground, think about the landscaping and surrounding elements that contribute to your beautiful lounge area.
A personal in-ground pool is an enticing idea. Whenever you want to swim, you only have to step out the back door. Meanwhile, your kids will have an accessible activity away from their devices and screens.
With so many outdoor bar ideas out there, it can be tough to narrow down your ideal backyard entertainment area. Google is a great place to start, and Pinterest is packed with unique bar options, but it’s easy to become overwhelmed when you’re not sure what you’re looking for.
A pool house is a multi-tasking addition to your house. Not only can you store toys and maintenance equipment in a pool house, but you can also use it to change and shower instead of dripping chlorinated water throughout your house. A pool house is an ideal option if you enjoy throwing backyard parties because guests won’t need to enter the main home.

Adding a pool house to your poolside makes for a great relaxation and entertainment space for your backyard. It allows you to use your backyard is a ton of new ways, even if the day isn't quite perfect for actual swimming. With an enclosed or sheltered pool house, you still have a great hangout spot to relax, have a few drinks, enjoy some shade, etc.
One of the best parts of our job here is brainstorming new pool house designs to keep our styles fresh. The Siesta Poolside Bar (everyone’s favorite little pool cabana) is a great example of this.
When we first released the Siesta about 10 years ago, it came standard with a hip roof design (and a myriad of siding, bar counter, and interior options.) A little over 5 years ago, we introduced the Siesta with an a-frame roofline.
And now, we have 2 more styles we’d love to introduce you to, which are almost a year in the making.
