‘Sand Pools’ Are The Latest Backyard Trend

If you don’t live near the sea or just can’t travel this summer because of COVID-19 restrictions, there’s one more way to get your beach vacation — bring it to your own backyard.

A Spanish company called Piscinas de Arena NaturSand is offering just that. Well, kinda. Piscinas de Arena NaturSand specializes in “sand pools” — custom pools that are as close to real beaches as it gets. And if people already have a pool of their own, the company can simply convert it into something straight out of a Mediterranean paradise.

Piscinas de Arena NaturSand says that it can “provide an environment similar to that of a piece of natural beach” and judging by their product photos, that’s not an exaggeration.

“Our patented sand finish for pools is grainy but solid,” a Piscinas de Arena NaturSand spokesperson told Bored Panda. “It is not made out of loose sand, it’s completely attached to the concrete surface of the pools’ structure with binding agents.”

However, it does not make the maintenance of these pools more difficult than that of regular tile pools.

Not only does the surface of these pools never get hot, it’s anti-slip dry and wet

People can also get a customized design to suit their land. In some cases, if the weather permits, such pools can be built in only 30 days

The entrance of the sand pools begins with level zero on a soft ramp, as if it were a real beach. This way, there’s no need for stairs or ladders

$27 000 is not "rich". If you can afford a house, you can afford such a pool.

I thought it was going to be some great public domain thing for anyone to be able to do, but no, it's just a company that provides services for very rich people. Thumbs down.

I agree. And also: I don't know why they're called Sand Pools if they actually aren't. Compacted sand on top of cement isn't the same as Sand. It just looks like it (but feels hard and rough instead).

Nope, not everyone can have everything. You've got thing other people don't have. Should we just go through your place and decide what you're going to give up to someone on the financial ladder below you? Sheesh!

hmmmmmm? So people who did all the hard work creating and designing a beautiful pool should not get paid what they deserve? What the hell, if you don't have money for it but you want it, earn it! Or learn how to do it yourself, maybe in 10 years you'll get it or something. Why gotta be so bitter for no reason.
