Luna Bliss Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) You could make the entire back area of your yard a raised area. First, add some prims to the side of the pool to match the green surrounding area of the pool. Then make a little fence to place in the front where you go from the lower height of the garden to the new higher area (the rest of the fence is the one you see already in place that would surround your raised area). Have some steps going up to this raised area at a break in your created fence part. Edited April 2, 2019 by Luna Bliss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of a method to lower a pool into the earth - like it would be in RL? SwimmingPool by Leora Jacobus, auf Flickr you can't lower that pool into the ground but if it is this pool: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Garden-Swimming-Pool/12578961 ( only 10L on MP) You can choose the lawn option pool and Edit Linked pieces and deepen the pool ground so it's a small hill. You might need to shrink and adjust but it should fit Edited April 2, 2019 by Trinity Aironaut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of a method to lower a pool into the earth - like it would be in RL? SwimmingPool by Leora Jacobus, auf Flickr If I were to try and use this pool the first thing I'd do is remove the grass textured prims. Then I would shrink the pool a little bit so that the scale is more in keeping with the house and yard while also leaving it deep enough for swimming. Then I would construct a deck around the pool with steps leading down to a concrete patio with pool side furniture on the patio. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Aironaut Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 This is the pool I suggested. As you can see it fits nicely. There are no animations in it, but they can be added 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora Jacobus Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) On your photo it looks just fine. But when I rezzed it in a sandbox it didn't. When you rezz it on the ground the INNER part of the pool is nice but between the edge of the OUTER part and the ground there is a big GAP. When I lower it very carefully JUST so that there is no gap any longer then the inner part is partly covered by lawn.

alielgreen Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Taking advantage of the pool issue, does anyone know of a swimming pool that really does swim? or an animation? Because all I buy only has a pose to sit somewhere in the pool, not swim. Which does not make any sense ...😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has lots of lovely animations sit, Yoga AND swim an dive - lots! and it is mod! You can take them out and put them into a smaller pool. I finally fixed my new pool wizj the hill ... put in some of the animations . Happily floating. Just forgot to put on my bathing suit.

Marianne Little Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The best pool I have is from Harrys outdoor living. But it's big. I haven't had time to look at it properly, how much I can cut and slice it. The great thing with it, if you are social and is entertaining guests, the pool gives out swim huds if you click on the HUD giver. (Of course it only works in Harry's pools). I was wondering if I should buy his Infinity Ko Samui and fit it in a frame. It is not made for a backyard, of course. Until then, I got this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Easy-Set-Swimming-Pool-wDeck-Privacy-Screen-and-Menu-Poolside-Animations/11719034 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Aironaut Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 You can also do above ground with stairs like below, the plus side is you can make it deep & you have room for lounges and umbrellas. Plus, room for 3 or more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
