COVERING UP
Wooden pool houses such as this one from Finlog can be stylish and great value
for those with security in mind. As Estelle Michaels explains, the structures are made from the same material as that used to make police riot shields, and it is reportedly 200 times stronger than glass.

Both fixed and telescopic designs are available, and in addition to freestanding enclosures, it is also possible to select those which attach to the side of a building.

The case for covering outdoor pools is a strong one and the benefits to pool owners are clear to see. This is an increasingly popular way of ensuring that the pool can be used all year round, and in addition, the installation of a cover can prove surprisingly cost effective. By protecting the pool from the elements, it is possible to make substantial heating and
maintenance savings, and by using natural sunlight to warm the enclosure, it will also be more environmentally friendly. There are plenty of different products to choose
from, and if this summer turns out to be as wet as last, this could offer the perfect solution.

Use storage cupboards or furniture to hide them from general view.
Pool houses come in all kinds of shapes and
