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

Building a swimming pool during Darwin's dry season (May-September) is the best time of year, as experienced Darwin pool builders know. With less rainfall during these months, pool construction can be carried out without disruption.

Summer is when most people think to build a pool because they're dreaming of cooling off in their backyard. This means summer is when demand for Darwin pool builders is highest, resulting in longer lead times and potentially higher costs.

However, in winter, there is less demand and the pool building process is less prone to weather complications. The best Darwin pool builders are available all year round, although we recommend building in winter if you can. Get quotes from the best Darwin pool builders with Poolz today.

We have built our pool with Rod Hardy Plunge Pool. We are very happy with the final outcome and the whole process. Rod was very supportive, providing suggestions and making the complex project very clear and easy to follow. Rod and his team are very professional and definitely know all about pools and construction. I am impressed with excellent quality and great attention to details. In addition, all work had been carried carefully and such major construction had a minimal impact on already established garden. Highly recommend Rod Hardy Plunge Pool. Well done !!!
