Minimum Pool Sizes

Does the size of your pool really matter? When building a swimming pool, the typical minimum pool size is based on an 80′ perimeter, also known as the distance around the pool. If you want to build a smaller pool, the costs may not shrink as much as you might think due to these minimums in the industry.
