Summer is coming to an end, but if you have been considering installing a pool, now is the perfect time to begin planning! It may feel odd to think about a pool as the weather gets cooler, but there are many reasons why fall is the perfect time to build your pool. Keep reading to find out why fall may be the best time to get started on your pool build!
Construction Season
During the fall months, pool installers tend to be less busy because most people are getting excited for cooler weather and beginning to plan for the holiday season. Fall also marks the end of peak construction season, when builders are typically less busy. This means that their scheduling is usually more flexible, and your pool could be installed much faster than normal. The construction phase generally takes a few months, depending on the type and style of pool you want, so when you hire your contractor during the fall they may be able to cut down some of the time. Building a pool can require permits and various approvals from the local authorities, which can take time to get, so it is essential to consider the timeframe. More so, starting your pool installation in the fall means that your backyard and your pool will be finished in time for you to enjoy it as soon as summer comes around!
Weather
For contractors, fall is usually the preferred time for outdoor work, as it is less hot and humid, and there is a lower chance of day-to-day weather interruptions. Although some rain still occurs throughout the fall season, the possibility of rain delays is significantly reduced. The ground is drier and harder, making it easier for the team to work on a pool installation and get the job done. Though construction is possible in any season, fall is the most ideal time. Plus, if you are considering including a hot tub or spa in your plans, what better time to enjoy it than when it is nice and chilly outside!
