Reasons to Install Your Pool in the Off Season

When you think of swimming pools, you probably think of summer and sunshine. With that said, however, people can and do install their pools at all times of the year. However, the smartest time to install one definitely isn’t right before summer or even just after it begins. Instead, it’s actually during a time when no one really has swimming on the brain: winter!   

Save Some Money

As mentioned above, nobody is really thinking about swimming or pools during the winter, and that’s a good thing—at least where your wallet is concerned.

During the months when pools are on everybody’s minds and installation projects are in high demand, swimming pool contractors will often charge higher rates for their services. It’s just the basic principle of supply and demand.

If you get your pool installed during those less busy summer months, however, you can expect to pay a lot less for your project from start to finish.

Don’t Feel Pressured

When you embark on a pool project during the spring or summer, you may feel a bit rushed. After all, you’ll want your pool installed as quickly as possible so that you’ll be able to use it before summer is over.

Being rushed when making a major purchase, however, is never a good idea. You need time to choose the right professional, to have the installation properly completed, and to really check over the work that’s been done. Plus, you want your workers to do a good, thorough job, not a slapdash rush job.

To put everyone in less of a time crunch and to increase the likelihood of a successful pool project, consider a winter installation to give everyone plenty of time for a job well done.

In addition to these benefits, winter installations ensure that your pool and your yard are ready for you and your guests when summer does roll around. After all, who wants to swim in a yard with bare grass, incomplete landscaping, or a clumsily thrown-together pool? Even worse, who wants to own his kind of property? If you answered “not me!” then go ahead and consider a winter installation. You’ll be glad you did!
