Fibreglass Pools Gold Coast

If you’re wondering how the installation process goes for your pool, it’s a fairly straightforward process. After the quote, council requirements, design and any extra features have been approved, your Gold Coast Pool Builders will be on site to begin. There’s going to be a lot going on! Excavators can come to get rid of the dirt where the pool shell is to be craned in, pool builders will be fencing off the area and a crane will come at some point. Don’t worry, this is all part of the process. Through the installation, don’t hesitate to ask any questions to your pool builders as they are there to streamline the process and make your life as stress free as possible while the installation is going on.

When choosing your Gold Coast pool builder, it’s vital that you check that they are a licenced pool builder. You can also see if they are a member of SPASA Australia (Swimming Pool And Spa Association of Australia). If they are, this means that they have passed all the requirements to be listed as one of the best pool builders for their area. You can also see if they have a portfolio of completed pool installations (you can call them directly or see if they post on social media).

Installing the Gold Coast fibreglass pool alone can take up to one week, provided the weather conditions are stable. The process for getting to that point can take longer because of quote and council approvals as well as any extra features you may want, like a waterfall or an add-on spa. Regardless of the timeframe, we will aim to give you a ballpark figure so you have an idea of when we’ll be able to install your pool.

Installing a swimming pool on the Gold Coast is a fantastic idea to allow yourself and the family your own private oasis. However, you may be wondering how much it’ll cost to get one installed. Fibreglass pools are known to be cheaper than concrete pools, but there can be extra costs like spa add-ons, water features, landscaping (if your pool builder offers this as well), fencing, etc. Other things to keep in mind is the pool design and size you have chosen. A smaller pool will cost less than a large pool.

Choosing to use a professional Gold Coast pool builder is a smart idea because they are qualified to install a pool, and for another, it’s their job. They’ve installed lots of pools and know the best way to bring your vision to life. A Gold Coast Pool Builder will be able to make the process of installation easier because you won’t have to worry about any of it. You can go about your life as normal while they work to create your dream poolscape.

On the flip side, going about a pool installation by yourself can have some nasty consequences. Without the proper experience, you may not have the knowledge of the right council approvals, pool distance from the home’s border, and hooking up the pool to the water and filtration systems. For a stress free experience, choosing a professional Gold Coast pool builder is a far better choice.

Gold Coast Plunge Pools are a more condensed version of a swimming pool. Most feature a bench seat running around the edge of the pool and can feature spa jets. They’re ideal for a quick dip or if you want to sit in the cool water with friends and family.

For some homes on the Gold Coast, choosing a plunge pool may be more ideal than a full sized swimming pool due to space requirements or preference. Plunge pools are cheaper than full size swimming pools and don’t take up as much space or maintenance time. You get all the perks of a swimming pool for less money and time.

Since Gold Coast Plunge Pools aren’t as large as a full sized swimming pool, this means that the maintenance time is halved. You can spend more time swimming and having a great time than worrying about the maintenance side of things.

The price of our Gold Coast Plunge Pools is dependant on a number of factors. The size of the plunge pool will still be a factor as bigger ones will cost more than smaller ones. You can still customise your pool colour as with all our pools and spas. The landscaping (if your pool builder offers this), fencing, spa jets, water features can all increase the cost of your plunge pool.

The most obvious difference between a Gold Coast plunge pool and a swimming pool is the size. At Barrier Reef Pools, our swimming pools range from 4.2m to 12m. However, some of our plunge pools are the same size, if not slightly bigger than our swimming pools. The difference being that our plunge pools have a bench seat that runs all around the pool, and our swimming pools usually only have a bench seat that runs along one side of the pool.

Installing a Gold Coast Plunge Pool can be reliant on a number of factors. The installation itself can take up to one week. However, council requirements, quote approvals, design finalisations, among other things all contribute to how long it will take to begin digging out the pool hole. We’ll keep you informed through the whole process and will aim to provide you with a ballpark number so you have a rough idea.

Our Gold Coast Lap Pools are ideal for lap swimming, competitive swimming practice and for people who prefer to focus on the fitness side of swimming, rather than recreational.

Choosing a Gold Coast lap pool means that you’ll have your own private training area in your backyard for your swimming competitions and for fitness use. Aside from the fitness benefits, you have the opportunity to use the pool recreationally. These pools are usually better suited for the former, however.

Maintaining a Gold Coast lap pool is far easier than a concrete pool. With streamlined care and a non porous surface (no scraped toes when swimming), taking care of your lap pool is easy. We recommend following a strict maintenance routine to keep your lap pool in tip top shape, or take a look at our self cleaning pool options.

Compared to concrete pools, fibreglass lap pools are considerably cheaper than the former. There are lots of things to consider, like the size and shape of the lap pool (larger pools will be more expensive than a smaller one). Any extra features like a spa, water features or even a self cleaning pool will all contribute to the end price.

Gold Coast Lap Pools and normal swimming pools vary in the sense that there are different purposes for them. Lap pools are primarily fitness focussed, while swimming pools are for more recreational use. While it’s possible to swim laps in a freeform pool, a lengthy lap pool would be more ideal. Similarly, a lap pool may not be enticing for a family who wants to spend time in the pool together.

Installing a Gold Coast Lap Pool itself can take up to one week. However, the process for getting to that point may take longer. Design approvals, council requirements, quote approvals and other factors may make the overall process longer but if you compare the months-long installation of a concrete pool (not counting the approvals), a fibreglass lap pool is a better option time wise.
