Design Your Dream Backyard with NPT’s Pool Design App

What is the NPT Backyard App?

One of the hardest parts about building a backyard pool is deciding on a design and selecting materials. From picking a complementary shape for your backyard to finding the perfect tile and finish, seemingly limitless options can feel overwhelming. With the NPT Backyard App you can test out different pool shapes, finishes, tiles, hardscapes and more on a virtual pool, then place it in your very own backyard! The NPT Backyard App makes it easy to find the best NPT products for your space.

This amazing pool design app utilizes AR (Augmented Reality) technology to bring you closer to your dream pool ownership. For example, design your dream pool from start to finish using real NPT products then send the design directly to your builder from the app! The NPT Backyard is your free, personal, pocket-sized pool design studio.

Dream Pools like the free form pool with waterslide are available to try out in the NPT Backyard App!

What are some amazing features of the NPT Backyard App?

Some of the stand-out features of the backyard pool design app are:

• Product Comparisons. Easily switch between NPT pool tiles, interior surfaces, coping and decking. This is the best way to predict and imagine how NPT products will look on your future pool.

• Zoom Into Product Details. Ever wondered what your favorite NPT products look like up-close? Can’t visit a showroom to look at and touch your favorite tiles, finishes and hardscapes in person? With the NPT Backyard App, use your fingers to zoom into incredible details that give you a true sense of how products will look in your backyard.

• AR View. Once you’re happy with your pool design, try it out in your very own backyard! Click on AR View (Augmented Reality) to place your virtual pool anywhere in your outdoor space.

• Time of Day Lighting. The sun makes a huge impact on the look and feel of your backyard. But how can you be sure how the sun will transform your pool finish, tiles and more? With the NPT Backyard App you can select a time of day (morning, noon, afternoon or night) to see exactly how your pool and material selection will look at different times of day.

• Save Your Designs. Have fun playing with different designs until you create one you love. Try out different combinations of products then make an NPT Backyard App account to save them to “Favorites.” You can easily compare your designs then send to your builder to make a reality.

What can you do with the design once created?

Once you’ve designed your dream backyard pool, you can send it to friends, family or a builder. If you want to keep playing with designs, save your designs to your “Favorites” to compare options! Just make sure to create an NPT Backyard account so you can save your designs.
