Getting the Most out of Kelowna Pools, in or out of the Sun
Kelowna pools that have a covered outdoor deck provide a convenient way to escape the sun.
Kelowna pools are at their best when the Okanagan sun is shining and all you want to do is take a refreshing dip with family and friends. But when the temperatures start to creep up into the mid-30s, or higher, it can be too much for some folks. That’s where a covered outdoor deck can save the day.
By incorporating a sheltered area into your swimming pool design (or by adding one as part of a pool renovation project), you can:
- Add versatility and convenience to your pool area
- Increase your home’s exterior aesthetics
- Boost your property value

A Safe Haven from the Sun
Kids love to play in the sun, but they don’t always know that it’s possible to get too much of a good thing. If they’ve been splashing around in the pool all afternoon, it’s nice for them to have a place where they can escape the sun, without having to disappear indoors.
Not only do Kelowna pools with covered decks help kids enjoy their playtime, it’ll keep them safe from things like:
- Severe sunburn
- Heat exhaustion
- Heat stroke
It’s Good for Parents too!
For parents with younger children—one’s who need adult supervision when they’re swimming—having a covered deck provides a comfortable vantage point where you can keep an eye on the little ones. You can be the lifeguard on duty, without having to break a sweat.
Enjoy the View
Even with a good pair of sunglasses, it can be difficult to enjoy the views of your backyard with the sun beating down. Your garden plants might like it, but you might not. Many of the swimming pools Kelowna homeowners build feature some form of shade cover so that they can:
- Get some fresh air
- Enjoy their backyard to its fullest
- Curl up with a good book
Your Outdoor Entertainment Hub
If you build it, they will come. By ‘it,’ we mean an outdoor deck, and by ‘they,’ we mean guests who’ll want to hang out in your backyard for barbecues and other social gatherings.
Day or night, poolside parties can be a lot of fun, especially if your deck is outfitted with:
- Outdoor fireplace
- Lounge area
- Outdoor kitchen
A Good Time, Rain or Shine
Does the forecast call for a little rain? Don’t let that get in the way of your plans for an outdoor pool party. A covered pool patio will let you entertain guests, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
