It's going to be a lagoon type pool so that would actually be perfect

Wait why isn't it realistic? Could there be an awning or something put up close to the edge? Or like a patio next to it? I suppose that isn't directly part of the pool construction process?

There would need to be a huge awning in the middle of my yard. I don't like that aesthetic and it's probably expensive af.

I do want to get some trees so that might be an option

And yeah like dbs said an awning is going to get destroyed by the sun and need to be replaced frequently

Ahh okay. Yeah some kind of physical sun protection near the pool would be ideal (not necessarily immediately over it)

Especially with trees, because then the tree debris will just dirty up the pool a lot

phoenix sun gonna make that pool hot without shade and evaporation will be an issue
there are other shade options besides an awning and trees

I don't think the pool itself needs to be sheltered, but it'd be nice to have some shelter-like nearby instead of having to immediately go back inside the house. That's less about the pool and more about having a patio or porch set-up outside.

Do you live in Phoenix? No one's pool gets evaporated and most do not have shade. That's kind of a silly statement lol

This is the future plan but I'm not made of money rn. I'm planning to put a cabana area to the right side of the pool

in extreme heat conditions like a desert, a pool can lose half inch or more a day, so yea pools in the desert lose water.

So 1/4 inch per week in Arizona = 1/2 inch per day?

You also understand it rains here, right?

All I'm saying is the natural rate of evaporation here is not a problem lol. No one is refilling their pool once a summer due to evaporation. It's a non-issue.

2000 gallons a month is not an insignificant amount of water, but I'm assuming that would be for a much larger pool.

No one loses 2000 gallons a month. That's like 1/4-1/2 of your pool. No one here has issues with mass evaporation in their pool. The pool design they send me is 4600 gallons. That doesn't get 1/2 evaporated every month. That's ridiculous.

When I lived with my parents here for over a year they had zero issues and never refilled the pool. I'm not sure why this is even being brought up.

I'm not concerned about my personal use when the government gives water freely to foreign farmers for water thirsty crops in the desert that they ship to their native country

My personal use is 0.00000000000000000000001% of that issue

Maybe they're trying to say that you're so hot that you will evaporate your own pool

While my pool was in California, having something to give you shade is REALLY useful even when it's not over 100 out lol. Even in the middle of your yard you can put up something that goes over your pool, and has an awning/tarp etc that can be pulled out/put away at will. It lets you have shade if you need it (say like us you are doing water areobics for an hour + each day and the sun is really bright), but if it's a nice, not too hot day, you can not have the tarp/awning out and get fresh sunlight or at night look at the stars etc.

It's just basically building a trellis/pergola over your pool, it's not expensive, they even sell them already to be put up (aluminum etc), and it gives you options. Honestly not something to worry about till you have your pool build already, but once you do, I would look into it if the sun is just to bright. It can also avoid getting sun burn (or you having to use sun tan lotion etc). We had an awning with a remove that we could have go out/in at will (always had to remember to bring it in before storms though). It was super nice, and not that expensive (think the whole thing was like 400-500$). Compared to the cost of the pool it was cheap. Even the electric chair to help my wife get into/out of the pool (and elizabeth as well, she had knee/hip replacement surgeries) was more expensive.
