Amazing DIY Pool Hacks

There are many amazing pool hacks you could come up with to improve the fun and functional experience in your backyard. Here are some of our favorites!

Floating Drink Holder

Make a floating drink holder! First, find a good-sized plastic container that could fit a few drinks comfortably. Line the bottom of it with non-slip cupboard liner, so that your drinks don’t slide around. Next, get a floating foam pool noodle and cut it into pieces that match the lengths of the container. Attach to all the sides and ensure that it can sustain the weight of a few drinks!

What an easy and fun way to keep drinks close!

Sock Cleaner

Use old socks, tights or stockings to remove fine debris from the water in your swimming pool. These particulate clothing items are made with a fine type of cloth that is perfectly suitable to remove those fine debris. Especially the debris that are often too small for a regular net to pick up. You can use a bucket or a box and simply stretch out the material over it. All you need to do is to drag your makeshift net across the water in order to finally get rid of those debris that slipped your grip!

Tennis Ball Cleanup

Looking for an easy way to get rid of oils or foamy residues in your pool? Simply drop a few tennis balls in the water! Believe it or not, the material that acts as a magnet for oil and soap residue. Just let them float around for a few hours and let them work their magic! Make sure to throw away after you’ve removed them.

Flower Gardens

Flowers are such an easy backyard DIY that can truly transform any outdoor space into a tropical getaway. Do some research first or head to your local garden center to plan out which flowers and color scheme you would like to introduce to your backyard. Once you have a plan, you can bring your flowers, dirt, tools, and other accessories home, to begin your own DIY outdoor oasis!

Discover a Variety of Pool Accessories

Pool accessories aren’t exactly a hack, but they do truly come in handy. They can really improve your experience and enhance the way you take care of your beloved pool.
