Building a new home is your chance to create a dream space from the ground up. As you plan this exciting venture, consider the benefits of integrating a fibreglass swimming pool into your initial design. While pools can be added later, incorporating one from the start ensures it seamlessly complements your home’s architecture and style.
The Advantages of Early Planning
There are several benefits to building your pool into your design from the start.
Optimal Placement
When you plan your pool in the early design stages, you have more options for strategic placement in terms of where the house is, and how you can maximise sun exposure, increase privacy, and boost the overall aesthetic of the home and pool.
Integrated Design
While you can opt for any type of pool design, when you plan it from the outset, it is much easier to integrate the style with the home’s architectural aesthetic, contributing a cohesive living to outdoor space.
Cost-Efficiency
It’s more cost-effective to tackle the pool installation during the construction phase. You’re already in the early stages of design and build, and there aren’t as many concerns about additional plumbing or electrical, it can be planned from the outset.
Plumbing and Electrical Considerations
The earlier you plan your pool, the easier it is to ensure the plumbing and electrical infrastructure is set up properly, which saves time and money.

Design Considerations for Your Pool and Backyard Oasis
When it comes to designing the perfect fibreglass pool, there are a few considerations to ensure you maximise its impact.
Outdoor Living Space
Think about how you want to spend time outside. If you’re a lover of nature, you may want to integrate your new pool with a dining area or lounge, maybe even an outdoor kitchen. Builders and buyers alike long to create seamless inside-out living and you can bring the inside out just as seamlessly as taking the outside in.
Landscape
Installing a pool is about more than just a new pool. You have to consider the functional landscape that surrounds it and how you can create a visually appealing appearance, including lighting, plants, and hardscaping.
Privacy
You’re creating your dream home and that includes an oasis in the backyard, so you might as well consider the level of privacy you’d like to achieve. Whether you want high hedges or you’re happy with fencing and a pergola, you have to consider the best design for the area to enhance privacy and assure your preferred aesthetic.
Safety
Pool safety is paramount, so don’t overlook the need for fencing around your pool, non-slip surfaces, and alarms to ensure everyone’s safety. New pools are required to have fencing as per Australian law.
