Small backyard? This "spool" is the perfect solution

This spa / pool is the perfect solution for a backyard that is too small for a pool. This client wanted a pool or a water feature a patio and a fun place to entertain. Our idea was to create this spool, which can stay cool during hot summer days and heated up on a cool evening. Add a waterfall and a gas fire pit and this place is party central!

    Thank you all for the kind words! Sometimes I like to see before, during, and after photos of unique projects, let me know if you like these before and during additional shots that I've added.

    This is what I want! I love water and would love to be able to lap swim, splash around a bit, but with my arthritis would really like a hot tub. This would be so awesome!

    Wow! this is perfect! I have a natural hill in my back yard and have been wanting to put in a water feature...but never heard of a Spool! This is exactly what I want to do! I wanted a spa like water feature...but never thought I could do it with options for summer or for cool nights...where the temp can be adjusted! VERY COOL! So ...just wondering...what will this project set you back...if the patio is also considered in the price?

    Could you please tell me the dimensions on the "spool"? Just the swimming/spa part? This is a great idea especially here in Idaho where we don't have enough of a warm season to justify having a pool. The spool makes sense around here

    This is exactly what I'd like! We have a 400 gallon hot tub attached to a 25 thousand gallon pool. We don't use the pool nearly enough so this spool is perfect for us in our next house!

    This spool is approx 12' long and 7-8' wide. It is basically a very small vinyl swimming pool with several extra Jacuzzi jets. It has 2 water pumps for the jets, 1 water pump for the waterfall, 1 air pump and a full size gas heater (so the temp. can go from 85 to 104 in about 15 to 20 minutes. The cost is similar to a small swimming pool, in New York (Long Island) cost is about $25,000. See photos of other spas, spools and pools here http://www.deckandpatio.com/pools/portfolio....
