When is The Best Time Of The Year For Pool Installation?

Deciding to undergo inground and above ground swimming pool installation is a big decision. There are many important considerations including the type, design, and size of pool you are hoping to install, where it will go in your backyard, and what time of year you are hoping to install the pool. In this blog post, we have created a simple guide to help you determine when is the best time of year to install your new backyard swimming pool.

Spring

The spring is one of the most popular times of the year for inground and above ground swimming pool installation. Many homeowners prefer to install a new backyard pool in the spring to get the most use out of it during the summer. Although this is a great benefit, it means that most pool builders have a very busy schedule during the spring. As well, unpredictable weather can affect building plans, including spring floods and softened ground.

Summer

Due to delays from spring weather and the popularity of building in the spring and summer, most builders are extremely busy throughout the summer months. By the end of summer, most builders are finishing up projects and their availability might increase. We therefore recommend aiming for late summer or early fall to maximize your chances of finding an available builder.

Fall

Contrary to popular belief, the fall is the ideal time for inground and above ground swimming pool installation. The weather is much more predictable in the fall and the ground is usually dry after the summer. Builders have increased availability and can build your new pool without any major setbacks. The only downside of the fall is that you likely will not be able to use your new backyard pool until the following spring and summer. However, the pool will be ready to go as soon as the weather improves in the spring!

Winter

The winter is not a very popular time to install a new backyard pool. The good news is that means the best discounts and deals are available in the winter months. If your main concern for pool building is your budget, the winter might be your best option to save money. Of course, unpredictable winter weather may impact your building plans so make sure to discuss your timeline with your builder.
