From simple add-ons to full-scale kitchens, there's a design that fits every backyard—and every budget.
Let’s take a look at some of the best poolside bar ideas that can turn your pool area into the ultimate getaway without ever leaving home.
Fran and Lynnette Smith of Phoenixville, PA, were looking to build a complete outdoor living and entertainment space. In addition to their new swimming pool with a stunning sliding board, the couple wanted a structure that would allow their family to spend more time together outdoors.
Whether you’re looking for a pool house, garage, or in-law suite, consider maximizing your space with an accessory dwelling unit.
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.
