Investing in your backyard spaces
Posted on: April 13, 2015
Your home may be your castle, but that doesn't mean you want to spend all day couped up behind closed doors. Having a great outdoor space is a way of life for many families, with many of us finding unique and creative ways to make the most of their slice of paradise.
Whether they are investing in a verandah or expanding the patio so the whole family can sit outside, there are plenty of ways to make the most of outdoor space.
One popular installation for families is to put in a pool, with many people equipping their homes with their very own oasis in order to enjoy the summer.
The main reason people consider investing in a pool is children. For families with kids between 12 and 15, 15 percent have considered installing a pool, while the six to 11 age group reached 10 percent.
There are figures to suggest that pools are less popular when families have young children because of safety concerns, making it important to install pool fencing to keep little ones safe.
