My pool is smaller. My pool is just over 10X30 and then a 6 foot spa. I would have skipped the sun ledge if I had built the pool. Otherwise it works for us.

And I was thinking a 36' X 27" is a pretty big pool! Ours is going to be 40' X 23' and it seems really big to me when it is marked out...

I like that pool. Looks nice.

Thats the total yard area I posted but then you have to take into account the setbacks which makes it 30x20. Then I have to fit decking and pool equipment and everything in there.

Hundreds of photos of small pools on Houzz.com (I will be building one also) just do a search for "Plunge Pools"

This is my favorite. We are putting in a really small pool, only 10' x 20'. We live in Oregon where it would be very $$ to heat a large pool year round. Houzz is a great source. I found four or five there that we used for models.

Our backyard and pool are small but it worked out great.

Our pool is 10 x 20 and it is plenty of pool. Put in as much decking as possible. We have about 1600sq ft of pavers and only wish we had more. See this link

I guess my pool won't be as small as I was thinking after looking at these pictures. I'm still in the early stages. Its too late for summer now so I'll probably wait until later this year.

Our actual pool is 14x24 but the footprint is 24x24 with the tanning ledge. Perfect size to hang out in/around and to play volleyball :)
