Endless ® pool garden rooms

Friday, November 11th, 2011

Working alongside Home Counties Pools and Hot Tubs we have produced a specific swimming pool garden room for the Endless ®  Pool range of swimming machines.

These amazing exercise pools provide all the benefits of traditional swimming pools but in a fraction of the space, and mean it is very cost-effective to install them within one of our rooms. To see more information about this amazing range of exercise pools please click here. Our Endless ®Pool rooms can also be made with enough room for your turbo & running machine to give you the perfect private Triathlon room or garden gym!

Project 1.

Working with Home Counties, this customer decided to go for the ultimate building for their Endless Pool and have our bi-fold door room. The pool was set half in the ground and half in the room then we installed the room over this. Along

with the bi-folding doors this building also had lining and insulation along with lowE ultra efficient double glazing, so in the winter the room is warm to use as a reception family room then in the summer open the doors wide to enjoy the alfresco life.

Along with the electrical installation of lights & sockets we fitted an air conditioning unit that not only heats for the winter but also has an integrated dehumidifier to keep the building fully dry even with the pool open.

The building was finished off with our Walnut Sikkens top coat preservative, matching pump house to the side and a decking area to the front.

Project 2

This customer already had an outdoor pool,

however wished to have an all year-round internal option so extended her swimming season by installing a partially in ground Endless Pool in our sliding door Merlin garden building.  The desired position of the pool room meant it was on sloping ground. Home Counties created a sunken pit similar to project one and we, due to
the sloping ground, then installed our steel and timber framed base off of this giving a very cost-effective alternative to a mass fill of concrete.

With the fantastic views available from its position glass was fitted all-round to three of the four walls, the building was lined, insulated & double glazed as all our rooms are. We fitted single sliding UPVC patio door to the front with a personal to the side.  The overall size of the building meant  there was more than enough room to the front for exercise machines or just to relax.

This building was also finished in the our Sikkens HLS Walnut preservative and had the red tile roof added for a great looking building.
Project 3

This customer was looking for an Endless Pool and room for their son to exercise and practise plus to potentially use to teach swimming. As this was more of a working room the standard Kite room was decided to be the best option without insulating. With the teaching element in mind the building was made slightly wider so you can easily get to the head of the pool and observe techniques, this also gives enough room for a private changing area. The pool was installed at ground level keeping costs to a minimum; both the Endless Pool and building are installed on a 150mm concrete raft. We then fitted our new line in wet room flooring called Aquastep, on top of our timber sub floor. Home Counties then faced the pool off with synthetic cladding. To eliminate the

need for planning the entire building was under the 2.5m and we also fitted a fire wall to the rear and sides so it conformed to the building
regulations.

Home Counties and Bakers Timber Building offer free site surveys to give you total peace of mind on any of our projects. We offer a fully comprehensive service with a personal touch that cannot be beaten.

  • "We purchased our Kestrel chalet in 1995 and have been very pleased with it and would recommend Bakers to anyone.We have a Sauna, Jacuzzi and Shower in it with a tiled floor and is used all the year round. We had it made with extra height so that the Sauna would fit in.The felt roof is as good as new but have now just replaced the wood on the gable ends and Martin Baker could not have been more helpfull in supplying the new wood. I can't complain after 17 years of constant use and enjoyment it was a brillant buy and has added value to our property. A big thank you to Bakers Timber Buildings."

  • "I have recently had a garden office installed by Baker's. I am delighted with it. It is amazingly warm and sound proof. I happily work in it all day and am looking forward to the summer when I can have all the doors and windows flung wide to the garden. I have been delighted with the committment to customer service from Bakers. I would use them again."

  • "I have had two Bakers sheds in my time in Burgess Hill. The first is 22 years old and still in terrific condition. The second 10 years old and I have just re sited this at my Daughters in Manchester, it was in such good condition. So, when I wanted to build a big lean-to shed alongside the house there was only one place to go!! I have not been disappointed. The shed has been built and lead flashed into the side of the building and it looks magnificent. Martin Baker and his team have done a wonderful job on it. It was delivered on time, built very well with a great base going down first and the attention to detail was superb. No request was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile. Martin was the epitome of customer service. I would recommend Bakers to anyone. Thanks for the shed."

  • "After many months of research into garden rooms, I found Bakers. Their buildings were lovely and I was excited about the possibility of choosing excactly what I wanted. My whole experience of Bakers was superb. They were patient with my needs, very helpful and the final result is gorgeous. The cost was very reasonable but still the building is of a very high quality. It was built quickly and efficiently and I am looking forward to treating many patients in my bright, sunny beautifully crafted garden room. a big thank you to Martin and his team"

  • "Bakers made my dream come true! I had an idea in my mind for a number of years for a garden building, a redundancy payment, Martin, Keith and their expert team made it come true. They interpreted my ideas offering knowledgeable advice and suggestions, bearing in mind the site of the building and came up with a design for a 20 X 10 foot bespoke garden room, complete with shingle roof which I am absolutely delighted with. The dedicated and friendly team of lads and electrician worked in some exceptionally bad weather conditions to complete the construction on schedule, for which I thank them so much. Bakers were able to offer the whole package, which was extremely important for me, including drawing up of plans, submission to the Council and complete project management, taking the stress out of things. In addition their after care service is exceptional, nothing is too much trouble and therefore I have no hesitation in recommending them."
