New Pool: Too Many Decision to Be Made?
So, you’ve decided to install a pool in your backyard. Congratulations! In addition to being a whole lot of fun, especially in summer, construction of a swimming pool can also make your backyard more attractive and add to the value of your property. However, before you can enjoy all the benefits of a new pool, you’ll first need to decide on the best type for your backyard.
Whether you’re struggling to choose between fibreglass and concrete, or you simply don’t know whether a lap pool or a spa is better suited to your Melbourne home, there’s no need to stress. We take a quick look at several popular pool types, listing the pros and cons of each to help you arrive at a decision.
Concrete Pools
Concrete pools are a versatile option – durable, long-lasting and available in a wide variety of designs, they can fulfil almost any need. Concrete pool builders can also customise pools to a greater degree, catering to any taste.
Pros: Durable and long-lasting; easy to repair; can be customised to suit specific tastes, allowing for basic or architectural pools.
Cons: Not suitable for all backyards and soils; concrete is a colder surface than fibreglass.
Fibreglass Pools
Fibreglass pools are generally more affordable and easier to install than their concrete counterparts. However, as they’re usually factory-made, they can’t be greatly customised.
Pros: Affordable; easy to install; may be suitable when concrete pools aren’t an option.
Cons: Limited freedom/choice of design due to being pre-fabricated.
Lap Pools
Lap pools are ideal for keen exercisers, providing a long, narrow pool that allows for laps to be easily swum. Although fantastic for active types, this type of pool may not be best suited for families.
Pros: Long length; fantastic for exercise.
Cons: Limited width; not as suitable for families or pool parties.
Spas
If a swimming pool is out of your budget, or if you simply don’t have the space to accommodate one, a spa can be a great alternative.
Pros: Perfect for relaxation; affordable installation; small size can fit easily in backyards with less space.
Cons: Limited room to move; not suitable for swimming; can be costly to run and heat.
