Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fibreglass and concrete pools?

Fibreglass pools are factory-moulded and delivered as a single pre-formed shell, while concrete pools are built on-site from scratch. Fibreglass pools typically have a faster installation time, lower maintenance needs and a smooth, non-porous surface. They come in a range of pre-designed shapes and sizes. Concrete pools, on the other hand, are completely customisable in terms of shape, size, depth and finish. They are ideal for unique spaces or design preferences but often involve longer construction timelines and a higher price point. Both options are durable and long-lasting, so the choice depends on your budget, time constraints and design flexibility.
How long does it take to build a swimming pool?

The timeline for building a pool varies depending on the type and complexity of the project. A fibreglass pool can often be installed within 2 to 4 weeks after permits are approved, as the shell is pre-manufactured. In contrast, a concrete pool can take 8 to 12 weeks or more due to its custom nature and the time needed for curing, tiling and finishing. Other factors that affect build time include weather, site conditions, council approvals and any additional features like decking or landscaping. It’s always a good idea to allow extra time for unforeseen delays when planning your pool project.
What are the running costs of owning a pool?

Pool running costs depend on the size of your pool, how often it’s used, and the type of systems installed. The main expenses include electricity for pumps and filters, water usage for top-ups, and pool chemicals to keep the water safe and balanced. Using energy-efficient pumps, installing a pool cover, and maintaining proper water chemistry can help reduce these costs. On average, monthly pool running costs can range from $100 to $200 for a standard backyard pool, but this varies. Automation systems can simplify maintenance and improve energy efficiency, potentially saving money over time.
Do I need council approval to build a pool?

Yes, in most cases, you’ll need council approval or a building permit before constructing a pool. Local councils require pool builders to follow zoning, fencing and safety regulations to ensure the pool complies with Australian building standards. Approvals may also be needed for associated works like retaining walls, decking or plumbing. Your pool builder will typically help guide you through this process, submit plans to the council and ensure all work is compliant. Skipping approvals can lead to costly delays or legal issues, so it’s important to get everything authorised before starting construction.
What pool shape is best for small backyards?

For smaller spaces, plunge pools, lap pools, and narrow rectangular designs tend to work best. These pools maximise available space while still offering functionality and visual appeal. Fibreglass pools come in a variety of compact shapes that can be installed efficiently with minimal site disturbance. If your yard has unique dimensions or challenges, such as sloping ground, a custom concrete pool may be better suited to optimise the space. Discuss your goals with your pool builder—they’ll recommend a design that suits your backyard while considering privacy, shade, access and overall usability.
