Which fibreglass pool is best suited to me in New Plymouth?
It’s so vitally important that you choose a swimming pool that suits your specific needs. This will ensure you get maximum use out of it. For example, choosing a spa when you know you want to be able to swim laps, isn’t going to serve you and your swimming needs best, and you may find you aren’t using it as much as you would have hoped.
The good news is, regardless of your backyard, budget or swimming needs, our team can work collaboratively with you to create a swimming pool that is perfect for you and the family not only today but for many generations to come.
To help simplify the decision-making process, it pays to consider the following factors:
Possible pool locations and which one would work the best. Thinking about the function of the backyard and the overall look.
You use your backyard for more than just swimming in the pool, so remember if you have enough room to have a grassy area or entertainment area as well as a pool, this can improve the purpose of the space rather than engulfing the whole backyard with a pool and leaving no free room for anything else.
Colours schemes and styles. The pool colour should tie in with the exterior of the home as well as the hardscaping you choose for around your pool.
Who will use the pool, and what elements do you think are important for a pool to have?
Your budget. This should include fencing, pavers, landscaping and any additional extras you’d like the pool to have such as lighting.
Can I use my pool all year round with New Plymouth's weather?
Swimming year-round here in New Plymouth is a possibility however, it’s unlikely to be enjoyable if you are wanting to paddle around, especially in the midst of winter. Many choose to have a heating system installed for their pool, this enables pool owners to warm up their pool and swim for longer and for more months of the year. There are many heating solutions available for pools, the right one for you will depend on your swimming needs. If you don’t mind swimming in the pool when the water is cold or you don’t mind not using the pool when the weather cools off, heating may not be much use to you. If a heating system is out of the budget right now, a solar pool cover is a great alternative, they are cheap and can warm your pool up too.
