If you can dream it, we can build it—so dream big!

Imagine It. Design It. Build It.

Our Pool Builder tool is designed to empower homeowners like you to take the first exciting steps toward building your ideal outdoor oasis. From pool shapes and finishes to landscaping, water features, and furniture, you’ll be amazed at the level of customization at your fingertips. It’s more than just a design tool—it’s a chance to explore what’s possible for your space, your lifestyle, and your vision.

Creating a design is easy. Once you’ve registered for a free Rising Sun Pools account, you’ll gain full access to the builder. From there, it's simply a matter of dragging and dropping your favorite elements onto a blank yard canvas—customizing every detail until it feels just right.

What Can You Design?

Here’s just a sample of what you can explore and customize using our Pool Builder:

• Decking: Choose from classic concrete, paver designs, or natural stone finishes for a clean, polished look.
• Pool Shape: Whether you prefer a sleek modern rectangle or a more organic, freeform shape, you can tailor your in-ground or above-ground pool to suit your yard and style.
• Pool Type: Select from durable fiberglass, flexible vinyl, or fully customizable gunite in-ground pools.
• Spa & Swim Spa Designs: Add relaxation with a hot tub or swim spa—available in both above-ground and built-in configurations.
• Water Features: Amp up the fun or relaxation with a diving board, rock waterfall, water slide, or soothing bubblers.
• Fire Features: Imagine cozy evenings beside an outdoor fireplace or fire pit, perfect for entertaining year-round.
• Outdoor Furniture & Amenities: Visualize pergolas, chaise lounges, island grills, or tanning ledges to round out your backyard paradise.
• Landscaping Touches: Add the final flourishes with flower beds, palm trees, or shrubs that bring color and texture to your design.

The tool also gives you control over sizing and placement.

Think Like a Designer: Consider Your Yard’s Layout

While it’s tempting to go wild with features (and we don’t blame you!), take a moment to step back and think about how your yard works as a whole.

Ask yourself:

• Where does the most sun hit throughout the day?
• What’s the most natural path from your back door to the pool?
• Where would seating make the most sense?
• Do you need shaded areas for afternoon comfort?

Our Pool Builder allows you to drag and resize elements so you can plan for traffic flow, sun exposure, and visual balance—ensuring your dream pool isn't just beautiful, but functional too.

Share, Submit & Start the Process

Once your design feels perfect, the next steps are simple:

1. Submit your design to our sales team directly through the platform.
2. Book an appointment with one of our pool specialists to discuss your design, ask questions, and get professional guidance on next steps.
3. Share your masterpiece with friends and family on social media—because your dream backyard is worth showing off!

Whether you’re just exploring ideas or ready to break ground, our Pool Builder helps you take ownership of your design journey while we take care of the hard work.
