The amount of space needed for an inground pool can vary depending on the size and shape of the pool you desire. On average, a standard rectangular pool will require a minimum of 600 to 800 square feet of space. However, larger pools or pools with irregular shapes may need more space.
In addition to the size of the pool, you will also need to consider the surrounding area needed for access, safety, and aesthetics. This can include space for a deck or patio, fencing, landscaping, and any necessary equipment or storage. It is recommended to consult with a professional pool contractor to determine the exact amount of space needed based on your specific requirements and local building codes.
