How much access do I need to build a swimming pool?

Building a swimming pool

When we’re building a swimming pool, as you can imagine, access is really important. Most people, when I meet them for the first time, if they think their access is a little challenging, I’m most worried about the crane lift. How are we going to get the pool into the property? Surprisingly enough, that’s generally not the big issue.

The challenge is, when we go and build most swimming pools, if we’ve got a flat site out the back, if we’re lucky enough to have a flat site, we’ll get out in the backyard and for the average pool, we might need to take 30 to 40 mini tipper trucks of earth out of that backyard. So ideally, access would be as wide as a driveway or wider if possible.

Small backyard pool installation

Now, in many cases, that’s just not available. So as the access gets tighter, we have to look at that carefully to give you a really good understanding and expectation of what that’s going to involve and therefore, what it’s going to go to cost, but don’t be overly concerned. We deal in lots of places right across the country, in big cities like Sydney and so forth, where access can get extremely tight. It certainly can happen here in Newcastle. It just means that generally, the machinery and so forth that we have to get into that site reduces in size, slows the process for an excavation down, and therefore, increases the cost of that pool installation process, but with the right guidance and assistance from us, we’ll ensure that you have a very realistic expectation of what that access is going to involve and therefore, what that access is likely to cost.

OUR ADVICE

  • Where should I put my pool

    When thinking about installing your pool, thinking about where it goes may come naturally. This might be, “Oh, okay, that’s the spot I’m definitely going to have my pool installed.” Other properties might have tremendous flexibility, and there can be a little bit of consternation over exactly where that pool is going to go. Pool…

  • What typically happens on a site visit?

    Once we’ve made an appointment with you, we’re going to come out and we’re going to ask you a whole bunch of questions. All that in relation to what you think is really important to your life in owning a pool. This might be your first time, it might be your fourth pool. But what we want to do? We want to get a good understanding of what’s important to you.

  • What options are there for sloping or difficult sites

    One really exciting feature about a Compass Pool is that literally we can build them in all types of sites and what I mean by that, we can build a Compass Pool right out of the ground if we need to. In fact, we can even go, and we have, installed them on the rooftop of tops of apartment complexes.
    Now that all comes about because Compass builds a pool shell that is totally unique.
