I think everybody on BE should go for a nice concrete pool...!
Especially if they live in Perth.

Re: Is a pool really worth it?
We had a pool in our rental, on the kids insistance!!! After a couple of weeks the novelty grew off and the buggers didnt use it!!
We now have a 10 seater spa, which we thoroughly enjoy..............much cheaper to run than a pool!!!!!!!!!

Re: Is a pool really worth it?
We put a pool in and have had it about 6 mths now. The kids were in it every day after school and an awful lot at the weekend - ste loved getting home from a hard days graft and jumping in, then relaxing with a beer in hand too! 
As its now winter, its been too cold for us to use it and I bet we've not been in for about 2 months, maybe more, which seems a waste when you still have to run the pump, clean it, balance it etc. Having said all that, we definitely wouldn't be without one for the summer up here as it can be a scorcher.
