Football is back, and let’s be honest—tailgating is way more fun when it happens poolside. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just there for the food and floats, turning your backyard into a game day destination is the ultimate win. At Clarkson Pools, we know outdoor entertaining is one of the best parts of having a pool in Florida, especially when the weather cools down just enough to make game day snacks and poolside vibes the perfect combo.
So grab your team gear and fire up the grill—here’s how to host a poolside tailgate that’ll be the talk of the neighborhood.
1. Outdoor Kitchens for Game Day Grilling
Forget the parking lot. With a Clarkson-designed outdoor kitchen, you can grill up wings, sliders, and steaks without missing a play. From built-in gas grills to beverage coolers and prep stations, we help homeowners create chef-ready spaces that turn your backyard into a full-fledged tailgate zone.

2. Covered Living Spaces for All-Day Comfort
With our custom cabanas, pergolas, and pavilions, you can host your crew in comfort—rain or shine. These shaded structures make it easy to set up TVs, fans, and lounge seating. It’s everything you need for a resort-style tailgate experience right at home.
3. Upgraded Pool Lighting for Prime-Time Vibes
LED lighting doesn’t just look great—it sets the mood for evening kickoffs. Our lighting packages include color-changing lights, and automation options so you can set the scene for every touchdown.
4. Easy Maintenance So You Can Focus on the Game
Thanks to our Life of the Pool Commitment, your pool will be game-day ready all season long. Our maintenance service ensures crystal-clear water, safe chemistry, and a beautiful presentation—whether you’re inviting over the whole neighborhood or just kicking back with family.
5. Entertainment-Ready Poolside Designs
From sun shelves perfect for lounging with a drink in hand to spacious decks that hold plenty of seating, Clarkson Pools builds with entertaining in mind. If your current layout doesn’t suit your game-day needs, our renovation team can help reimagine your space.
