Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you plan your pool installation and make a splash this summer.
Step 1: Assess Your Needs and Goals:
Before diving into the details, it’s important to understand what you want to achieve with your pool. Are you looking for a place to exercise, relax, entertain, or a combination of all three? Consider the needs of all family members and gather ideas and inspiration by browsing magazines, and websites, and visiting our display centre.
Step 2: Set a Budget:
Budgeting is a crucial step in planning your pool installation. The cost can vary greatly depending on factors such as the size and shape of the pool, the materials used (e.g., concrete, fibreglass), and additional features like heating, lighting, and water features. Work with your pool builder to create a budget with costs and features that sit within your requirements.
Step 3: Choose the Right Pool Type:
There are various types of pools to choose from, including inground, above ground, fibreglass, vinyl and concrete pools. Each type has its pros and cons. For instance, inground pools are permanent, increase the improvement value of your property and can be customised extensively, whereas above ground pools are more temporary but lack the added value to your home. Consider the landscape and architecture of your home when making your decision. Visit The PoolHouse’s display centre to experience the different pool types firsthand and make an informed decision.

Step 5: Design Your Dream Pool:
Work closely with your pool builder to design a pool that meets your needs and complements your home. Consider elements such as the shape and size of the pool, features like steps, ledges, and spas, and the surrounding landscaping and decking. A well thought out design will enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.
Step 6: Understand the Installation Process:
The pool installation process typically involves several steps:
- Permits and Approvals: Obtaining the necessary permits from local authorities.
- Excavation and Construction: Preparing the site and constructing the pool structure.
- Plumbing and Electrical Work: Installing the necessary plumbing and electrical systems.
- Finishing Touches: Adding tiles, decking, and landscaping to complete the look.
Each phase has its timeline, so plan accordingly to ensure the project stays on track.
