Prepping your pool for Summer Words THEO LEWORTHY With summer fast approaching, many islanders are, presumably, beginning to think about their ‘beach bodies’. Looking good is never more appealing than when the island’s dressed in sun. But it’s not just people that can benefit from a seasonal makeover – swimming pools can sparkle in the summer sun too. Whether you already own a swimming pool or you’re thinking of having one installed, the suwmmer is the time to have it looking its best. What better way is there to cool off after a hard day than taking a dip in the privacy of your own backyard? Or maybe you love the idea of cranking out the barbeque and inviting some friends round for a pool party? Whatever plans you have for your pool – be it real or, as yet, imaginary – here’s a list of Guernsey Life’s top tips for making your pool a feature you can be proud of when the weather lifts.
Pressure washing your pool deck If you have a concrete pool deck, then a pressure wash before the summer starts is a must. Whether it’s down to weathering from the elements or simply wet feet continually walking all over it, it is inevitable that your pool deck will become dirty. And it’s also inevitable that you’ll forget just how different it looks when it’s clean. Getting out the pressure washer will let you blast away the layer of dirt that has accrued on your pool deck, making it look as good as new. beautifully. Bridges For many of you, this will be too out there. And for many more of you, your pool simply won’t be large enough to accommodate this rather eccentric feature. But hey, if you’ve got the space for it, and you want something a little different, have you ever thought of having a bridge built over your pool? From a purely functional perspective, it provides a convenient walkway across the water, serves as a great place to take photos from, and gives the kids something to cannonball off. And from a design perspective, it certainly adds drama. Just remember, if you go for it, to keep an eye out for trolls. Especially on Facebook. Getting a coloured pool finish Forget white finishes for swimming pools – it’s all about colour nowadays. Coloured finishes can make your pool look more natural and inviting, and are a great way to attain the ‘Carribean look’ that many pool owners aspire to. But be aware, working with colour in water is tricky. Water is clear, and it refracts sunlight, which means that the water in your pool won’t simply reflect the colour of your pool finish. For this reason, it’s always best to get a professional in and discuss the effect you’d like in detail. Water features Whether you choose a relaxing waterfall or something more ornate, a water feature can have a powerful impact on your pool and its surrounding area. Some of the more popular options include faux rock grottos and fountains. You might also want to consider non-water features, such as rockeries or particular plantings, in the area surrounding your swimming pool to give it its
16
A separate coping colour If you have (or are planning to have) a concrete swimming pool, you will need ‘coping’ to act as a cap for the edge of the pool. For those of you that are not fluent in pool-speak, this is the border that runs around the edge of the pool. While coping is primarily a functional element in pool construction, it has also become a highly stylistic one, and offers the opportunity to provide a decorative accent for your pool. For this reason, coping is usually present not just on concrete pools but all types of pool. By picking a colour that compliments your pool and its wider surroundings, you can add a touch of flare to the installation. Embrace the elements You can give your pool an added dimension by combining water with its elemental antithesis: fire. That might mean the addition of a fire pit or fire bowl to your property. Firey features like this are great for supplying heat at after hours pool parties and barbeques, but they also add a warm light to the area that sparkles on the surface of the water. They’re a great way to add a little rustic class to your pool area, and are more than worth the relatively modest price you’ll pay for them. Tiles and paving Geometric tiles have made a comeback. Uniform shapes like squares and rectangles can add a sense of ordered calm to your pool, and modern advances in glasswork mean that you now have more options to choose from than ever before. Channel Island Ceramics is just one of the local companies that offer a wide range of pool tiles, as well as paving options if you like the idea of a poolside patio. Furniture and surroundings One of the easiest ways to make your pool extra inviting this summer is to splash out on some beautiful pool-side furniture. This doesn’t have to mean new furniture, and it doesn’t have to mean expensive furniture – but it does mean picking the right chairs, tables, parasols, etc., to contextualise your pool and provide a surrounding area that compliments it beautifully.

Oracle Loans and Mortgage Brokers Limited is a Guernsey Company that is registered with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) as a Non-Regulated Financial Services Business (NRFSB) and is permitted to facilitate this type of transaction. Oracle’s Peer2Peer (P2P) facility is not an investment or a savings plan and Oracle is not a bank. As a funder you will be making a loan to an individual or a company and your capital maybe at risk in the unlikely event of the borrower defaulting. Oracle is not a Tax adviser therefore you should seek professional advice. Should a funder enter into a more commercial P2P relationship resulting in regular loans then there may be a requirement to register with the GFSC as a NRFSB. For borrowers your property is at risk should you be unable to repay any loan secured against your property.
