The 2010 annual issue of Pools, Spas & Patios, the only Canadian magazine targeted to the backyard leisure living market, will be available on newsstands April 26.

The magazine, which encourages readers to relax, retreat and rejuvenate through the creation of a backyard oasis, showcases the latest in pool, spa and landscape design and offers tips on everything from maintenance to safety.

The magazine's new Backyard Service Finder is a great search tool for current swimming pool and spa/hot tub owners in need of assistance, as well as for potential owners seeking the right builder. Pools, Spas & Patios also looks at green backyard living and offers readers the chance to page through more than 25 Ultimate Products.
