Tips For A Cost-effective Swimming Pool

A swimming pool can be a worthwhile addition to your home if you have ample space. Having a swimming pool in your house, can be a great source of leisure and also, add value to property when selling it off. So, if are you planning to install a swimming pool without burning a hole in your pocket, PropGuide lists some cost-effective ways to do so:

Opt for vinyl-liner pool

Vinyl-liner is one of the three types of pools available in the market, which also includes fibreglass and concrete. This is known to be one of the most pocket-friendly option available in a price range of Rs 1,00,000- Rs 3,00,000. Though installation is pocket-friendly, these require time-to-time maintenance as well as have a short shelf life of 7-15 years.

A shallow pool

If you don't want to spend too much and have limited space, opt for an in-ground pool which is a small pool design. This design will not only have a lower installation cost but it will also save a lot of money in the long run. A small and shallow pool means less maintenance, less labour and less material.

Also, avoid custom shapes as they may call for higher expenses.

Off-season installation

If you want to get the best price, off-season is the best time for pool installation, i.e. the winters. With fewer scheduled projects in the winters, you might get a good deal on the installation. This is also the time when you could crack a cheaper deal on the tools.

Also, make sure that you contact at least five contractors before you close on one. Compare the quotes from different companies and go for the one that offers best price and service.
