Pool Privacy
There’s nothing better than spending a day in the cool waters and privacy of pool on a hot summer day. The sun on our backs and backyard games ready to be played, our pool floats beaconing us to relax. Whether it’s a family day, a day with friends, or even a romantic evening, we want everything to be perfect. It is until we see our snoopy neighbor peaking over the fence, watching our every move.
Neighbors can be wonderful, but do we want them watching us rub suntan lotion on our partners? What if we want to go “all-natural” in the pool? After all, it is our yard. Pool privacy is a unique, rare luxury, but with a bit of thought, creativity, and of course, our help, you might be surprised by what you can do.
Like with any backyard purchase, it’s best to check with your homeowner’s association, if you have one, to make sure there are no regulations you should be aware of.
