Do you have an in ground pool or are you looking into installing one? Are you looking to elevate the experience of the in ground pool in your backyard? Adding a diving platform to your pool could be a fun way to get extra functionality and capability from your backyard swimming experience. A diving platform can also be a beautiful, eye-catching addition to your pool.
Below, you can learn more about building a diving platform and the materials you can use, as well as adding a pool to your backyard if you don’t have one yet. If you have any questions, you can reach out to us at Triad Associates.
Building a Diving Platform
A diving platform for your in ground pool is a raised platform with a stationary base. It is not a springboard diving board, but instead, is made with more solid construction and is incorporated into the exterior of your pool. This type of diving platform can be both a decorative option, as well as a functional one.
With a diving platform on your pool, you can show personality and have fun with design. You can create a stone slab, a diving rock, or some other kind of beautiful platform. This adds interest to the exterior of your pool and can make your outdoor space look great.
When you look at adding a diving platform to your pool, you want to think about the look and feel of it, which we will discuss below, but you also want to think about safety. To have a diving platform, you will need to consider the depth of your pool to make sure you have a safe environment for swimmers. At pool plastering and hardscape experts, Triad Associates can help you with this. We can start with a 3D project design for your pool and diving platform to make sure you are getting the safety you need. Our builders will then be sure to build this platform to make sure it meets the safety requirements and functions well for you.
Below, you can check out more about the materials you can use for a diving platform, as well as other pool and hardscape services we offer.
Diving Platform Materials:
- Natural Stone – Natural stone is a great option for many different purposes. You can use natural stone like marble, granite, and travertine in outdoor patios, walkways, and even a diving platform. It can give your diving platform a natural and elegant look and feel.
- Concrete Paver – Another option for your diving platform is concrete or concrete pavers. Pavers could line your diving platform or surround it to give a decorative look and feel. Pavers are great because they are available in different patterns and colors, so they can be a nice accent to what is going on with the rest of your hardscape and landscaping. These are also great options because they are affordable, low maintenance, and weather-resistant.
- Exposed Aggregate – Exposed aggregate is a decorative hardscape option. This could be good for the surround of your diving platform, or even the top of it, depending on the look you are going for. Exposed aggregate is decorative concrete that has natural stones that are seeded into the concrete base. It is a very durable hardscape option, and also a very beautiful one.
There are several different material options you can use to build a diving platform to go with your pool. The exact materials you use depend on the look and style you want for your space and what you currently have with your pool surround and hardscape. We can help you build a diving platform that fits in with your existing hardscape structure and design. Or, if you don’t have a pool yet, we can help you with that build, as well.
