Why it is NOT crazy to start planning your pool in January!
When is the best time to start building a pool?
Picture a heat way in May and the thought crosses your mind that you want a pool for the backyard. Now this is a great, however you are now way behind your peers that have started the pool process much earlier in the year. Pools take time, so the earlier you start in the process the changes of you having it ready in April or May are strong. You want to be swimming in May or June so the best way to accomplish this is to start the ball rolling early.
Here is a sample of a pool timeline that I find makes the perfect build.
January: start the process of finding out:
- what size you want
- what kind of pool you want
- what pool permit you would need
- discuss your ground/backyard
February: finalize your pool of choice, colours, equipment such as a heater, salt generator, pump etc.
March:
- order your pool early March or Late February so that it arrives in April. This also gets you in the queue for pool building. Only so many pools can be built in the spring/summer so get in line to make sure yours is built first!
April: ground excavated
April/May: pool built, plumbed, filled
If you wait until April, May, or June to order the pool its still possible to get it built in time for summer. However, keep in mind you are killing a huge part of the swimming season and competing with other pool builds to get built.
