Two 12×12 MODERN Pool Houses with Pergola
I am working on a DIY pool house guide that I’ll link here soon once it’s published. I know there are some of y’all who are hardcore DIYers, though. From there, I would comparison shop between a few contractors to find the best one. A design consultant or contractor can guide you through design blueprints that incorporate all the features you want, talk about pricing, and the construction process.
POOL HOUSE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL
I always recommend consulting a professional contractor and talking with your neighbors or friends who have built a pool house before diving headfirst into this project. I love the colorful barn doors as well to achieve a similar effect as the retractable glass. This feature can be a nice touch for the right design concept.
