This 20×24 pavilion was designed and built by Gappsi in Dix Hills, NY. We built it with 6 columns, all wrapped with synthetic wood and Azek. This outdoor structure allows the homeowners to enjoy their backyard in both sunny and rainy days. The pavilion not only looks elegant, but it’s also very functional and includes great amenities.
A wood burning fireplace is accompanied with a large screen TV and enough room for a comfortable couch area in front of it. Underneath the pavilion, we installed all Twin Eagle Appliances: a bar island with a sink, storage cabinets, and refrigerator; and we installed an outdoor changing room with a shower. The adjacent area is already set up for a future outdoor spa to be placed also.
All white trim, moldings, and maintenance-free paneling were used to veneer columns and ceiling. The fireplace and bar island were veneered with tumbled split face travertine veneers to match the travertine french pattern sealed patio throughout the pavilion and surrounding area. Gappsi supplied all the materials used in this project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did you combine the pool and spa instead of keeping them separate? Combining the pool and spa creates a beautiful, unified look, especially with the water cascading from the spa into the pool. It’s also more efficient. By having them share the same pump, filter, and heater, you simplify maintenance and can reduce operational costs. It makes the whole system work together seamlessly for a better experience.
What are the benefits of using limestone pavers for the patio? Limestone pavers offer a major upgrade from older materials like clay brick. They provide a more modern and elegant appearance that can completely change the feel of a backyard. Beyond looks, limestone is incredibly durable and tends to stay cooler underfoot compared to many other materials, which is a huge plus on hot summer days. It creates a more comfortable and luxurious patio surface.
Is it always necessary to replace the plumbing during a pool remodel? While it’s not a requirement for every project, we often recommend replacing old plumbing during a significant remodel. Over time, pipes can degrade and become less efficient. Installing new PVC plumbing, as we did here, ensures the entire system is reliable for years to come. It’s a proactive step that helps prevent leaks and other costly issues down the road.
How long does a complete pool and patio renovation usually take? The timeline for a pool remodel can vary quite a bit depending on the scope of the work. A project like this one, which involved structural changes, new plumbing, and a full patio replacement, requires careful planning. Factors like weather and material availability also play a role. The best approach is to schedule a consultation so we can give you a more precise timeline based on your specific project.
My pool is old, but I’m not sure if it needs a full remodel. What are some signs to look for? If you’re wondering whether it’s time for an update, there are a few key things to look for. Visible signs include cracks in the surface, worn or missing tiles, and a dated overall appearance. You might also notice that your equipment is running inefficiently or that you’re constantly dealing with leaks. If your pool area no longer fits your lifestyle or requires frequent repairs, it’s probably a good time to consider a remodel.
Key Takeaways
- Combine your pool and spa for a seamless design: Integrating a separate spa into your pool’s system not only creates a beautiful waterfall effect but also simplifies maintenance by using a single set of equipment for both.
