Why Black Bears Should Stick to the Forest – Not Your Pool

Why Black Bears Should Stick to the Forest – Not Your Pool!

Let’s be real—black bears are adorable, fuzzy creatures who belong in the wild, roaming free among the trees, not lounging poolside. In fact, just the idea of a black bear diving into your backyard pool is downright hilarious. But here at Paradise Pools & Plaster, we believe pools should be built for relaxation, fun, and maybe a little luxury… but definitely not for our furry forest friends.

Bears + Pools = Pure Chaos 🐻💦

Imagine for a moment: You’ve just installed a beautiful, custom-built pool in your backyard. The water sparkles under the East Texas sun, and you’re ready to relax with a cold drink. But suddenly—a black bear decides it’s time for a dip! Splash! That bear just transformed your peaceful oasis into a tidal wave of wet fur and claw marks. Ouch!

Pools aren’t exactly built for paws and claws. With their thick coats, black bears are more suited to cooling off in rivers and lakes, not chlorinated water. And don’t even get us started on what a bear could do to your pool filter. Not cute.

Pools for People, Not Bears

Here at Paradise Pools & Plaster, we design pools to match your lifestyle. Need a relaxing water feature? Check. Want an energy-efficient system to keep maintenance easy? Double check. But if your pool requires “bear-proofing,” it’s probably time to rethink your guest list!

While a bear might prefer splashing in a stream, you deserve better. A luxurious, beautifully designed pool that makes every summer day feel like a getaway—no forest creatures invited. Pools are places for making family memories, not for dodging bear hugs in the deep end.

Stay in Your Lane, Bears

So, while black bears are busy rummaging through the woods, you can enjoy your carefully crafted pool, knowing it’s a bear-free zone. Let the bears stick to their rivers and lakes—after all, they’re great at catching salmon, but not so good at floating on a pool lounger!

Looking to create your own backyard paradise? Paradise Pools & Plaster is here to help you design the perfect pool for you—one that’s customized, luxurious, and designed for people, not wildlife. (Sorry bears, maybe next time!)
