I've got a concrete pool and I got it tiled in January. The dude tiling it reckons if I was to install the same pool today it would be 100k! yeah right...big f..king pool though, 10m x 4.5m


Yep, fiberglass, 7.5x3.5. I could go a fair bit bigger but want to keep some lawn in the back yard.

Had one "rough" concrete estimate from a chap I know, he was around the $60-70k mark for something that size made from mud.

Ours is 16m x 5m, fully tiled - 120,000 litres.

Yep, takes the robot two cycles to clean.
Also, I can’t recommend Walco pool covers enough. Well worth the money.

Daydream Pools & Spas do some quality work too; I've been lucky enough to see some of their pools up close.

Lovely drive this morning thru the hills to Strath and back, fantastic to see some rain on the parched landscapes and some creeks flowing again.
