A pool house adds convenient, functional space to your backyard while creating a more complete poolside experience. Eastern Shed designs and installs pool houses in a variety of styles, from enclosed shed-style structures for storage and changing areas to open-air pavilions for relaxing and entertaining.
Looking for something unique? Eastern Shed can also help you create a custom pool house designed around your property, preferred style, and how you plan to use the space.
What Is a Pool House?
A pool house is a freestanding backyard structure located near a swimming pool that provides additional space for storage, entertaining, changing, relaxing, or a combination of uses.
Pool houses can range from simple enclosed structures that keep pool supplies organized to larger custom designs with covered seating and entertaining areas. The right design depends on your available space, how you use your pool, and the style of your home and backyard.
Pool House Styles
There is no single way to design a pool house. Eastern Shed offers multiple structure styles that can be adapted for use around a pool, making it easier to find an option that complements your backyard.
Shed-Style Pool Houses
A shed-style pool house provides enclosed space conveniently located near your pool. It can be used to store pool equipment, floats, outdoor furniture, towels, toys, and other supplies that would otherwise need to be carried back and forth from the house.
Depending on your goals, a shed-style structure can also provide space for changing, relaxing, or other poolside needs.
Pavilion-Style Pool Houses
A pavilion-style pool house creates an open, covered area where family and guests can relax out of the sun while remaining connected to the pool.
Pavilions are especially well suited for poolside seating, outdoor dining, and entertaining. With multiple styles available, you can choose a structure that complements both your home and surrounding landscape.
Custom Pool House Builder
If a standard structure doesn’t fit what you have in mind, Eastern Shed can help you explore options for a custom pool house.
As a custom pool house builder, we can work with you to create a structure based on your available space, preferred appearance, and intended use. A custom design can bring multiple functions together, such as enclosed storage paired with a covered gathering area, or adapt elements of our existing shed and pavilion styles to better suit your property.

Pool House Installation

Working with one company for your structure and installation also makes it easier to plan a finished poolside space that fits your property.
What Can You Use a Pool House For?
A pool house can serve one purpose or combine several functions in a single backyard structure. Common uses include:
- Pool equipment and supply storage
- Float and pool toy storage
- Towel and furniture storage
- Changing space
- Covered poolside seating
- Outdoor dining
- Entertaining family and guests
- Creating a shaded place to relax
- Keeping wet or frequently used pool items closer to the pool
When planning your pool house, consider what would make your pool area easier and more enjoyable to use throughout the season.
Why Add a Pool House?
A well-planned pool house can make your backyard more functional by putting the space you need close to the pool. Instead of carrying supplies between your home and pool area, you can create dedicated storage, changing, relaxing, or entertaining space exactly where you need it.
It can also help visually define the pool area and provide a structure that complements your home, landscaping, and other outdoor features.
