The benefits of autumn pool and hot tub installation(NC)-For most people, autumn and swimming pools have little
in common. As the temperature falls, the excitement of planning a backyard pool
paradise declines as well, but the autumn season is actually an ideal time to
install a swimming pool or hot tub.
A fall installation gives homeowners a spring and summer season to plan their project while aquatic enjoyment is fresh on everyone's mind. Homeowners can visit friends' and neighbours' pools for first hand design ideas they can incorporate into their own plan. They can also visit the operational job sites of contractors in their area to gauge their skills and organization throughout the project. Installing a pool in cooler temperatures means construction time takes place while family yard usage is lowest. As winter approaches, there is also an increase in the availability of contractors as their busiest season draws to a close. Some builders, if properly prepared, can even work through the winter, affording a comfortable buffer for revisions and repairs. Autumn is also a perfect time to begin planting the larger trees and shrubs that will complete a backyard aquatic paradise. Planting in the fall can reduce initial shock on plants as they prepare to enter their dormant cycle. Once the pool is completed, homeowners have the entire winter to review landscaping plans and choose eye-catching accessories with the added benefit of a completed pool to facilitate the decision making process. Homeowners can also use the winter months to enroll in safety and maintenance courses, getting the essential information to ensure a safe and well-maintained pool come spring. The Pool & Hot Tub Council of Canada offers a variety of courses for the homeowner as well as a directory of qualified pool builders across Canada.
