Planning on having ours put in during the build of the house. Seen the one we like and spoke to the pool men should be ok.

No Pool in our garden (It's on a 35 degree slope!) but at the bottom of our road (Literally at the bottom - see 35 degree slope!) is the local ocean baths...

I'd prefer our own pool as I'm just learning to swim and feel too self conscious in the ocean baths with the 5 year olds that have no fear! there must be at least three houses in our street with their own pools including our next door neighbours.

we had one put in about 3 weeks ago.
8x4, big enough for the kids to take a dip.

Hi all,

Here's some pic of my friends LUSH new pool that they've just had built. How the other half live hey! Can't find any of our pool, but I can guarantee it's nothing like this!

I like the look of those straw roofed gazebo things but would be too worried about what was crawling around in the straw :scared:

Well having just coming back of a reccie trip, I dont know how you fit one in the gardens. All the houses we looked at were right on top of one another and had hardly any garden, especially the new builds they are only giving you 600m2 of land now. You must struggle to walk around that one once the house is built.
