Summer is the best time to sunbathe, swim, enjoy fresh air and sunshine wherever you want. If your backyard features a pool and a deck, this is the best place to relax after a long hot day or spend your weekend there. You may think that a small backyard isn’t a place for swimming, but this isn’t true – there are lots of small backyard pools that can be squeezed into even the tightest outdoor space. Need examples? Let’s begin!
Narrow Pools
A narrow and long pool is your way out if you have a matching backyard. If you have enough space, you may include a deck – clad with wood, tiles, stone, bricks and with comfortable furniture that fits your space – rattan, wood, wicker or any other. If you don’t have space at all, go for a very tight deck with some pillows and cushions or skip the deck and go for lining up the pool with greenery and blooms to make the space feel wild. A narrow pool is also a nice idea if you don’t have much space and want to accommodate a pool, a dining area and some loungers to keep the zone more entertaining.

Small Pools
If your outdoor space isn’t that long and narrow, you may try a plunge pool of a more square shape or even go irregular and add waterfall for a natural touch. Go for a comfortable pool with built-in benches, platforms and seats and build a deck around – covered with wood, tiles, stone or any other material that fits. The loungers can be placed right on the platforms in your pool, or if you are going for a raised pool, create some seats inside to chill. Place some outdoor furniture and accessories around and believe me – you won’t want to leave this space this summer!
