Mesa Pool Features
Sun shelves, bubblers, jets and sheer descents planned into your new pool from the first drawing.
A baja shelf, sometimes called a tanning ledge or sun shelf, is a shallow step of water that's usually under a foot deep. It's where small kids play, adults set in-water loungers and an umbrella sleeve gives you shade in July.
Features like these are cheapest to get right before the gunite goes in. Each one needs plumbing, and the bubblers and jets need their own lines and valves, so we plan them into the first drawing instead of adding them later.
Water features also make sound, which helps on lots where neighbors or a busy road sit just beyond the block wall.
A wide, shallow ledge for loungers, an umbrella and little kids.
Small domes of water rising from the shelf, a favorite with toddlers.
Arcs of water from the deck into the pool, often on a timer.
A smooth sheet of water falling from a low raised wall.
| Feature | What it adds | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Baja shelf | Shallow lounging and play space | Takes some of the pool's swimming length |
| Bubblers | Gentle movement and sound | Usually set in the shelf |
| Deck jets | Motion and a lively look | Wind can carry spray onto the deck |
| Sheer descent | A steady sheet of falling water | Needs a raised wall behind it |
| Rock waterfall | A natural desert look | Takes more space and deck area |
Most are under a foot of water, shallow enough for loungers and young kids to sit. We set the exact depth for how you plan to use it.
Big enough for the loungers or umbrella you want. Two loungers and an umbrella sleeve need more room than a play spot for kids. We size it on the drawing with your furniture in mind.
Some do. Bubblers and small features often run from the main pump with valves. Larger waterfalls or sheer walls may need a dedicated pump.
Yes. With pool automation, you can run jets and lights on timers or turn them on from your phone.
