Swim Up Bars and Sunken Structures

If your family craves a break from the relentless Malaysia heat, imagine a shade structure over a swim-up bar

They claim necessity is the mother of creativity, and that was definitely the case when Pool Builder & Service came up with the concept of building sunken shade structures over swim-up bars.

The Sky’s (Almost) The Limit

There are plenty of choices to consider when planning your ultimate backyard: a pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen for hosting cookouts and parties, a grassy area for games and sports, a shallow-water lounging baja table, a drink and chill out swim-up bar, a seating area with a TV and fireplace, and more. Why fly to a crowded beach, after all, when you can have a private oasis right in your own backyard?

However, there is one non-negotiable backyard feature to which every Malaysian can agree: Shade. Thus Pool Builder & Service started constructing sunken shade structures, where homeowners would literally walk down into their living area outside.

Full-Service, Licensed Builders

The more special features you have in your backyard design the more complicated the project will be, as you would imagine. Having it look smooth at all requires a lot of specialist research behind the scenes and underground.

"We have 6 years of engineering experience, special licenses, specific construction methods, and designs required for these larger projects," Smith says. "In fact, we are possibly the only option for a client if they choose to work for a fully licensed engineering company, general contractor, pool builder and landscape architect. And we do provide all these facilities at no extra cost.

Kenny describes that this project's pool-related items are usually very cheap, such as underwater tiled stools, and a top tiled bar. "But the primary expense is in the system, which may greatly vary," he says.
