At Treasure Pools, we like to say that anything is possible, however we are always there to advise our clients on the best route for their backyard and desired outcome. One important thing to note when considering adding an infinity or vanishing edge is that it generally makes more sense to remove your existing pool and build a new one. Adding the edge requires the removal of the entire shell, coping, tile and plumbing. You also need to ensure that you have enough room to accommodate the new addition. There is a surge tank where all the water is stored to create the gorgeous infinity edge, and this definitely takes up a good amount of space.
Adding in this feature to an existing swimming pool can run upwards of $100,000 which is why our team generally advises against the addition and suggests the complete new construction. When it comes to the design of your swimming pool and specifically an infinity edge, it’s key to look at your entire backyard and if this is a seamless addition. This design typically fits nicely with a modern, sleek pool, so important to note that it may not work as well for every property. You also want to have some sort of elevation in your backyard to ensure that the edge showcases nicely. Overall, this design is a lot more complicated than a traditional swimming pool so it’s important to understand exactly what goes into the design and construction. Contact Treasure Pools today to learn more about whether or not an infinity edge is right for you!
