When is the best time to build a new pool in Canberra?

As experienced Canberra pool builders will tell you, the best time to build a pool in Australia's Capital Territory is during the dry months of summer, making December through to May the ideal time for pool building.

Unfortunately, Canberra pool builders are likely to have the least available time during this period, as demand for their services is typically highest during summer. The lack of rainfall during the dry season also makes it the perfect time to build a pool, as rainfall is not likely to seep into the ground or affect the construction process.

Demand for pool builders in Canberra is usually lower in the winter months, so if you are happy to risk inclement weather and possible delays, it may be a good time to get a better deal.

Choosing Nulook pools was the best and easiest decision we made. The whole process was smooth and easy. I know this isn’t always the case with pool installs but John and Charissa made sure everything ran smoothly, everything was on time and they were so patient with us (still are when we call with silly questions!). Just honest and great people with a fantastic team working with them. I will recommend them to anyone. Thank you again to John and Charissa, forever grateful!

Can’t rate Brad and the team highly enough. We had major issues with our pool and were badly let down by another Canberra supplier. Their support has been excellent, and they are very competitive on price.

John and Charissa were great to deal with, so patient having to deal with our council. While it was a long process because of that, once the pool started I couldn't believe how quickly and professionally it went in. John really knows his stuff and is happy to answer calls for even what seems like the silliest question. He has a great team working with him and they are really competitively priced. We highly recommend Nulook Pools.

NU LOOK pools installed my pool 4 years ago. At the time I was very impressed with their work. My opinion has not changed since then. I have rung them several times over the last 4 years and they are always happy to answer questions and offer advice and solutions. If you are thinking of getting a pool, these are the people you want doing the job.
