Why Fall Is the Best Time to Install an Inground Pool
Advice - Pools
When most people think about installing a pool, they picture spring or early summer. But here’s a secret industry insiders know: the best time to install an inground pool is actually August through November. Here’s why scheduling your pool install in late summer or fall can save you time, money, and headaches — and get you swimming faster next year.
Better Weather Means Fewer Delays
Late summer and fall tend to be drier months, which means more consistent workdays for our crews. Less rain = fewer delays = faster installs. Spring, on the other hand, often brings unpredictable rain and muddy conditions that can stretch out timelines and cause frustration.
Avoid the Spring Rush, potential regulation changes, and Price Increases
Every spring, there's a rush of homeowners trying to get on the install schedule. By fall, it is less rushed, as start-up, education/orientation and swimming don’t happen until the spring and that means:
- Better pricing and fall incentives
- More flexible scheduling
- Less potential stress
You can also avoid annual supplier price increases that typically take effect in the new year. Booking now can lock in current pricing on materials and labour.
Enjoy a Finished Backyard by Next Summer
Installing in the fall gives you a huge head start. Your pool can be ready to swim as soon as you open your pool in the spring. That means:
- No construction noise while you’re relaxing next spring
- Have everything perfectly setup without the mess when it’s time to host summer barbecues
- Avoid any potential permit delays when you just want to be swimming
- A full swim season to enjoy
Peace of Mind While the Kids Are in School
With the kids back in school, many homeowners find it easier to manage a renovation project. Less traffic in the yard and fewer interruptions make for a smoother installation processoverall.
No Need to Worry About Your Warranty
One common concern with fall installations is whether you’ll lose part of your equipment warranty over the winter. Good news: you won’t.Your warranty doesn’t begin until your pool has been started up and your Pool School orientation is complete – typically done in the spring. That means your warranty coverage is preserved, and you’ll head into the season with peace of mind.
You’ll Be Ahead of the Curve
While everyone else is scrambling to get quotes and install dates in March or April, your pool will already be complete. That’s a huge advantage when it comes to planning any landscaping, patio furniture, or even that first pool party.
