In ground pool distance from house?
We are thinking of putting in an , in ground pool, how close can the pool be to your house?
Talked to a few contractors, different answer from all of them. Called , The Village , they said they don’t have a distance requirement from the house, just the lot line. I called Sumter County , still waiting on a call back. Thank you in advance |

When we went through the design process we had to be one foot from the eves for every foot of depth. So where our pool is five feet deep we had to be five feet away from the roof line. Where our "Beach" area is, that part of the pool is closer to the house since it is only a foot or so deep.

There is definitely a set back from lot line.
One variable - is the proximity to windows. So it your going close to a bedroom window, i think its 6 feet or you need to change out the window - i think non shattering glass or something like that. |

We put a large cement area in so we could have chairs and table between house and pool. Nice to have extra room, you won’t regret it.

House-lanai-cage-pool. So you walk out of your house through your lanai and into the cage area where your pool is. As previously stated it is nice to have some distance between your lanai and the pool. Throwing in a spa and an elevated seating area requires a deep yard. But it is worth the expense if you have the land.

Pool
Just go with T&D. They’ll have all the answers. You never be sorry. They do the best job.

stay 3 feet from your house- your house is sitting on the earth next to the pool, and you do not want to damage that support by removing earth too close to the house. Your slab could sink on the pool side

Just so you understand, the only answers here are worthless. The only one that counts is your city and county permitting departments. Why not just give them a call, they are very nice and believe it or not they work for you

I have seen T&D pools - they do good work. But so do a lot of other companies. T&D is just convenient. Do your homework and make sure you understand how a pool works, and what equipment they are installing. For me, T&D was a lot more money with undersized equipment (salt cell, filter), and the automation quoted was old equipment (more money than the latest equipment with far less features). If T&D offers the same (or better) equipment as your other estimates at roughly the same price, then by all means go with them. But don't "Just go with" them. As to your question on how close to the home, one of the previous posters hit it spot on "One foot from the eves for every foot of depth. So where our pool is five feet deep you have to be five feet away from the roof line." If there is a window on that wall, there is a specific distance you need to be away from the window, or you have the replace all glass with shatterproof glass. If you look at my pool, that is why the free form moves away where both windows are. Finally, here are some tips to look for in any estimate:

OP, you should be able to get your answers from the Sumter county building department, you can stop by their office in Pinellas Plaza, same building as the library. You will need ARC approval, call Community Standards for more info. There will be multiple permits required, irrigation lines will need to be rerouted away from the new slab around the pool. Finally, I have been watching a pool project near me and I believe they are approaching 4 or 5 months so far and I am guessing 1 to 2 more before that will be able to actually use it, my point this very well may be an extended project. Also you should include a birdcage in your project to keep your pool safe and clean, just my humble opinion.

If Sumter gives you an answer you'll have your filter.
