Which is the best season to buy and build a swimming pool – autumn or spring?

Before proceeding to build a pool, you should consider what time of the year will be most appropriate for the construction work.

Below you will find out the advantages and disadvantages of each season starting with the construction of the pool.

Advantages of building in the autumn:

• There is a bigger flexibility of the pool building companies - In spring and summer, most of the companies are really busy because everyone wants to have the pool fast build up and ready to be used. In addition to this, there is a commitment for spring pool cleaning and technical equipment service, which also require time. Autumn is a calm period for pool builders and so they can pay attention to you.
• Low price - Most of the pool companies are ready to make good discounts if you order a pool during the autumn period. This is because of the winter, then the work is reduced drastically but the costs remain the same.
• The construction work – in September, October and even November is suitable for work on the construction of outdoor pools. Also, the pitch around the pool requires its technological time, such as the damping of the soil. While there is not much time left in the spring for these extra work done and in the swiftness of making the pool ready for the first good days there can be mistakes made in the preparation of the pitch around the pool.
• Avoiding the price rising - at the beginning of each year many manufacturers and suppliers increase the prices of their products. If you order the pool before the end of the year, you will save a certain amount of money.

Advantages of building in the spring:

• Sometimes the prices are profitable - although you will not get such discounts as in autumn / winter period, you can still negotiate for some deals if you order in February or March.
• The construction time is shorter – advantage of building the pool in the spring is that, the construction work doesn’t stop until the pool is completely done. In this case, it won’t be left at some stage to be completed later, as if starting in autumn / winter. Although the recent years spring months of April, May and June are quite rainy, which prolongs the construction of the pool.
