“We craned a pool on a roof.” Pools are making a big splash on rooftops and in tiny backyards.
When Jersey City, N.J., resident Niki Turkington wondered how she and her family were going to, she remembered the good times she had spent with friends in their backyard hot tubs.
The problem: Ms. Turkington’s townhouse doesn’t have much of a backyard. She and her husband still managed to squeeze in a cedar hot tub and sauna.. Heading into summer, residents of the New York metro area are finding ways to wedge water features into the tiniest spaces. Local pool and spa companies say demand has soared during the past year or so. They are doing projects everywhere from the backyards of Brooklyn brownstones to the decks of Manhattan penthouses.
Bob Blanda, owner of Mill Bergen Pools, a New York-based company, said his inquiries are up by about 25% since the pandemic started. Potential customers should be prepared to wait their turn, especially since some pool-building supplies, such as resin, are in short supply, he said.
