If we were building our own pool tomorrow, these are five mistakes we’d avoid every single time.
Choosing the biggest pool instead of the right size. The best pool is the one that suits your family and your backyard.
Spending the budget on cosmetic upgrades before the practical ones. Heating, lighting and automation often deliver more day-to-day value.
Forgetting about the space around the pool. Entertaining, relaxing and watching the kids all happen outside the water too.
Skipping heating. A heated pool gets used far more throughout the year.
Choosing a builder based on the cheapest quote. Experience, quality and service usually matter long after the price is forgotten.
