Sand pools: a paradise beach in your garden all year

Sand pools are the new trend for those of us who dream of having our own private beach at home... all year round. JLR sand pools began activity in the middle of the pandemic, but maybe because of all the trips to the beach that were postponed last year, demand and curiosity for this new concept has exceeded all expectations. It is an alternative to traditional construction pools, with several models available. The simplest of their options costs around 17,000 euros.

“Our activity began on national territory in September of last year (2020). Demand turned out to be way above expectations. We have a very specific market niche, those looking to us want a unique and exclusive product, and each pool is a work of art”, the company said to idealista/news.

The sand pools are very versatile and can take many forms that adapt to the terrain, even in tight spaces. However, according to JLR, "smaller areas limit their creativity, making them more lake-like in shape." Nonetheless, this solution allows you to have a beach-style pool in your home garden and has several advantages that are worth knowing.

Sand pools: advantages of having a beach in the garden

• Exclusive: the sand pools all have exclusive designs, making each model a unique work of art that is fully adaptable to the client's tastes.
• Monolithic Floor: in addition to providing visual beauty for being “uniform”, it makes cleaning and maintenance of the pool easy, as residues do not accumulate.
• Temperature: even in direct contact with the sun, the floor of the sand pools remains at a pleasant temperature. Unlike the traditional beach, your feet will never be scalded.
• Non-slip: an advantage especially for the areas around the pool, that only the sand can provide.
• Versatility: these constructions can have different shapes and accessories. ”It is possible to customize the pool to suit everyone's taste. From placing a jacuzzi inside the pool or separately, islands with palm trees or without, simple waterfalls or having it surrounded by rocks”. It is even possible to create one area for children and another for adults. Your imagination is the limit.
• Durability: due to the high quality of the materials, sand pools have a long durability.
• Safe access: Despite being able to install the typical steps of traditional pools, in sand pools it is also possible to replace them with small access ramps that make them visually different and safer for those with children.

Stages and construction times for sand pools

In a first phase, the size of the sand pool to be installed is set out with the client. “Having defined the area and evaluated the surroundings, a draft of the design is created for approval, trying to find the best way to install the pool to fit the land”, says the company. Then the next stage, the excavation for the construction of the base of the pool with iron and dry shotcrete begins, ending with the manual application of sand.

Construction time is always going to be dependent on the size of the project. However, opting for a simpler sand pool, two months is the estimated time to completion.

Like construction times, prices can vary JLR Piscinas de areia

Sand Pool Prices

The price for a beach-style pool is slightly higher than for a traditional pool. At JLR Sand Pools, the base price for a simpler model is around 17,000 euros, depending on the size and extras required.

The truth is that having a private beach can be more expensive, but it is an investment that will certainly leave everyone's jaws dropping.
