That's what quotes are for, Hun

Thanks for the replies everyone. Yeah, I think the only way to know is to call someone out. Fingers crossed. Thanks again

Not all quotes mention the items above and unless you have built one before you may not be aware of many of them or think of them at the time, so at least you also have a list of items to ask about

Everyone else has given great advise, just wanted to say good luck We have a pool and it's fantastic! We're in it 2 times a day at the moment. It cost us $45k, and that was for EVERYTHING!

Check into what sort of pool you need for your area babe...
We have a fibreglass, the IL's have a concrete...

Heating our pool is fast, so much much cheaper.
Concrete pools are MUCH colder, so if you'll use the heating a fair bit, its going to be very exxy to run... We have had our heating off since Oct, the
Il's are still using theirs cause the pool is still way too cold. And we have a pretty warm summer here! The fibreglas means we use it more of the year than the IL's too....

So if you live in a really hot spot, concrete would be better for heating and having a colder pool to escape the heat. If your area is only average to warm, a fibreglass would suit you much more.

What size pool is yours compared to your IL's? Do you guys have shade sail? We have a fibreglass pool, with shade sail and solar heating. Our pool is approx 9 x 4.5 in size and the shadesail covers about 90% of the pool and between Oct - Mar we don't need our solar on at all. So for us up here in Cairns, a fibreglass is perfect.

Ours is HEAPS bigger than theirs. Theirs isnt too big, but its a b!tch to heat!!

No shade sail... yet!!! Only been here 6 months, but we want one!!

Its a big pool, 15 x 4m. Takes up the whole of the main back yard. Luckily we have a side section!! Its good for laps. We'd use the heating about the same.

Maybe fibreglass is good anywhere!! I know the IL's hate their concrete one with a a passion, and the heating costs are just staggering. Its solar, but having the heat pump on all those hours for months is so super exxy.
