Why Should I Build a Pool in Winter?

Choosing to add a pool to your backyard living environment is big decision for most people. Not only do you need to decide where to put your pool and what type of pool to build, but you also need to decide when to build your swimming pool. For many people, the best time of the year to build a swimming pool is in the winter -- and for good reason.

Here are some of the best reasons to build your swimming pool in winter:

1. You can have top pick of the experts. Because most people don't think about building a pool until the weather turns warmer, the best pool builders start to get booked up at the same time. If you choose winter to start calling and talking with builders, you will have more flexibility regarding availability and you won't have to settle for the only company who has an opening during the busy season.
2. When the warmer weather rolls around, you will be already to jump in and enjoy it. Waiting until spring to get going on new pool construction could mean that you will have to settle for swimming somewhere else while you are waiting for your pool to be finished.
3. Your pool contractor will have more time for your project in the winter when the workload is smaller, which could be mean better customer service.
4. You may be able to get a discount from your pool builder. If business is slower in the winter, many companies offer sales or other discounts to motivate prospective pool buyers. Although you should not let price be the only factor when deciding on which pool builder to choose, it is definitely a great reason to choose to build your pool in the winter instead of spring or summer.

An in-ground pool takes anywhere from three to twelve weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. You can expect to have some construction dirt and a little inconvenience while your pool is being built, so it's best to get it all over with before spring comes and you're ready to enjoy being outdoors.
