Re: Pool for $32000
Likewise chris. Just seems like an insane amount of money to spend on digging a hole and filling it with water, IMHO of course.

Re: Pool for $32000
I put in an above ground 9m x 4.5m pool and it cost me $3000 all up, I took it down in the end because it didn't get used. I just can't see where that sort of money can go ?

A $750 metal framer does us.
Put it up, fill it up, everyone enjoys.
A bit of chlorine here and there and everyone mucks in to collect the leaves.
Maybe I haven't quite mastered this life yet.

Re: Pool for $32000
We had one installed 5 years ago and I appreciate that costs may have gone up since then. Ours is 7 x 4 metres, pebblecrete inerior, stone wall water feature and we paid $22K (including crane hire, levelling of the land and removal of dirt they dug out.) . We had glass fencing intalled around 3 sides which cost $4K and paving another $3k. It took 4 days to fill it. At the time there were no water restrictions so we were able to use town water.

As I said it was a few years ago so I would have thought their costs would have increased by now. I might just add that we also had no access issues either as the pool was dug out before the house foundations were laid, so it was a pretty straightforward job

Re: Pool for $32000
yep definitely - if we had the pool built after the house, there would have been the need to have specialised equipment to dig the hole - so it wouldhave cost more

Re: Pool for $32000
of course you can, I used a pool Co that sell you a pool kit and you hire one of their installers to err..install it for you...my recent pool cost;
8 x 4 fibreglass installed = $16500
fencing (some glass) = 4500
concrete = 6000
plants = 200
total = $27200
Without the glass part of the fencing ie if Id used all aluminim I could have knocked about $1500 off that cost
