There are several factors to consider when determining what type of pool would be best suited for your family. The first thing to consider is your yard. Consider the space you want to put the pool in. Incorporate your patio, decking, green areas, possible play areas for kids. Consider all the factors and visualize what it will look like when finished. Ensure you don’t lose the functionality of your yard. Remember, this is going to be your retreat and a place to entertain or relax.
There are also guidelines and codes to be followed when building your swimming pool. Attached for your benefit is a copy of the construction requirements from the City of Winnipeg, as well as a link to the City of Winnipeg website:
Access to your yard can also determine what your options for a swimming pool may be. You will need to have adequate access for the appropriate equipment to get into your yard. This may also require access and permission from your neighbour. Consult with a representative from our company to find out what you are responsible for and don’t be afraid to ask questions. That is what we are here for.
Consider what kind of use you want from your swimming pool and think long term. Do you want it for exercise, entertaining, for the kids, playing games, or just for cooling off in the summer? Those factors will help us recommend the right pool for you.
Price can also be a factor when deciding what type of pool you choose. ABOVE GROUND POOLS can be a great place to start with the swimming pool lifestyle. Above ground pools can be installed yourself for under $2,000 for a smaller pool and can fit into most people’s budgets. The price range depending on size and options can range from $3,000 upwards to $15,000 to have one professionally installed for you.
The ON-GROUND POOLS can be a great value for those who want a little bit more from their pool. In some cases an on-ground pool will actually work better in certain yards, especially with some slopes or limited access. The price range for on-ground kits will start at approximately $15,000 but can still get upwards of $30,000 to have one professionally installed, again depending on options and size. You may also have the additional cost of building a deck surrounding the pool to consider when looking at this choice.
And of course you have your INGROUND POOL. With limitless options, you can budget on $30,000 for your basic rectangle or oval pool, and of course the sky is the limit with the options on concrete, landscaping and lighting just to name a few.
