Have a swimming pool that is not a money pit

Do you dream of a beautiful pool to swim in your property? Why not if your garden is large enough. You will still need to schedule work to be able to wade into your new pool as soon as possible. But how not to ruin yourself in this business?

It's entirely possible to afford a swimming pool on a tight budget

With the many models available on the market, having a swimming pool installed at home is now within reach of almost everyone. The proof, last summer, I finally realized this project that was so close to my heart. And besides, I did not need to let go of all my savings. How did I do? I simply chose the type of pool that best suited my financial possibilities. Of course, ideally I would have opted for a traditional concrete pool, but…

Personally, I have no complaints about my semi-buried pool either. Among the suppliers, you will see that wanting a swimming pool is not always synonymous with heavy expenses. And if ever your budget is really limited, you can always orient your choice towards above-ground models. These do not require major earthworks. Some are even offered as a kit and can be installed by yourself, without calling in professionals.

To get an idea already, take a look at the different ranges offered. Better:do like me, do not be afraid to ask for quotes. It was from this approach that everything came together for me and here I am now with a swimming pool in my garden. I can't wait for the good weather to arrive to fully enjoy it with my family members and friends. Roll on summer!

A swimming pool according to your budget

Many of you may not know it, but with less than 1000 €, you can easily have your pool at home. Indeed, it is quite possible with a tubular or freestanding pool. It is this type of pond that I have been deploying in my garden for several years.

Alternatively, I could also have opted for an above-ground model with metal, wooden or resin frames. With this type of pool, dismantling is not mandatory in winter. Only downside, even if this model is accessible from 1500 €, I did not find it very aesthetic.

I seriously thought about getting one built when a friend in the construction industry gave me a spiel about the added value of a swimming pool on a property. I was already firmly decided on a concrete pool. The semi-underground suited me perfectly both in terms of its dimensions and its cost price. Don't have a lot of room in your outdoor space? A swim lane might be better. The possibilities are numerous, but the following truism is worth remembering:the larger the size of the pool, the more expensive the pool will be.

Finally, whatever the pool, above all, remember to secure access to it!!!
