Doug’s Backyard Pool House + Pool Shed in Westfield, MA
Doug Thayer is a local in Westfield, MA, who lives just across the street from Hometown Structures. Doug and his wife have always wanted a dream backyard in which the family could unwind and relax. He and his wife decided to get an underground pool for their backyard, and after Doug had his pool installed, he wanted to continue upgrading his space with a backyard pool house. It was until one day when Doug drove past the Hometown Structures lot and saw a 24×24 pavilion which he loved the look of. So Doug went into the sales office at Hometown Structures, purchased the pavilion and began talking about a backyard pool house.
Soon after he had purchased the 24×24 pavilion, Doug also purchased a barn as well. He now had a space to shade under the sun and spend time with family and friends, but also a barn which he could use for storage and other party activities as well. After a while, Doug had determined that all three of these large structures would not be able to fit in the backyard due to local zoning restrictions. He had to improvise, and with the help of Hometown Structures, Doug was able to split his barn into two sheds and swap the large 24×24 pavilion for two smaller pavilions.
Assembling Doug’s Backyard Pool House & Sheds
On delivery day, Doug couldn’t have been more excited. He would be receiving his final pieces to complete his backyard pool house area. Doug loved the fact that Hometown Structures had brought the storage sheds and pavilions to his house and assembled and installed them.
Anything that you buy online from Wayfair or Home Depot, requires you to put it together yourself. Their (Hometown Structures) stuff came assembled or they put it together for me.
He found it really fascinating how the Hometown Structures team was able to maneuver and deliver the sheds and pavilions throughout the yard.
What are Doug’s Backyard Pool House Structures Used For?
Shed 1 and Shed 2
For his sheds, Doug wanted to have one for storage and work supplies and the other for fun and party activities.
Doug calls shed #1 the fun shed. He utilizes that shed for activities such as food serving. This allows people to walk through the shed, pick out their food, and exit right through the front doors. He says that all of his guests prefer shed 1 over 2, and there’s no surprise why. Shed 2 is used for standard shed purposes, including storing lawn care equipment, tools, etc.
The Pool House
Shortly after building the underground pool, Doug wanted a space for his guests. A place where guests could come over and have a space to change, shade themselves, and relax. This space became the backyard pool house. The backyard pool house is a key component of this dream backyard space Doug built, and it’s easy to see why.
The Barbecue Pavilion
His most recent addition to the backyard pool house area in Massachusetts was the barbecue pavilion. Before buying this pavilion, Doug always talked about his love of grilling outdoors with friends and family. There was only one problem… he did not like being in the sun the whole time. After some talks with his wife, he went ahead and purchased the backyard pool house pavilion from Hometown Structures. Now, Doug can enjoy his peaceful and tasty backyard grill-out sessions with his family and friends while having a nice, shaded space to relax and converse.
The Hot Tub Pavilion
The final piece Hometown Structures had installed for Doug in his backyard pool house area was the hot tub pavilion. Doug loves spending time in the hot tub relaxing and watching the St. Louis Blues. Doug wanted to take his relaxation even further, and what better way than a pavilion shading your hot tub session?
What Do Others Think of Doug’s Backyard Pool House Area?
Doug loves to have people over, especially on Sundays, which he calls “Sunday Funday.” He gets constant positive feedback regarding all the structures in his backyard pool house. He said that many people joke around and say how they prefer shed 1 and can’t stand shed 2 because it is the shed for work.
Doug is extremely satisfied with the backyard pool house and the other structures in his dream backyard. He now has a space to host parties, relax, and spend time with family and friends.
I would recommend Hometown Structures to anyone every day and twice on Sunday. They made the entire process very easy; they were able to hit the deadlines I was looking for, and the overall quality is really good.
Thank you, Doug for the opportunity to be part of your dream backyard makeover – it looks amazing. I wish you many good memories made there, entertaining family and friends. Enjoy! – Andrew Kurtz
