Wooden Pool FAQ There are many types of wooden pool available on the UK market. Some are British made and others are cheaper imports. We have installed many of these pools all around the country so have met most questions before! Here we answere some of the wooden pool Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Why have I seen a wooden pool on another web site at a much cheaper price?There are many web sites that are out of date and are still offering prices that are more than a year old. Some sites do not have a proper business address, just a mobile phone number and an e-mail address. If you are considering buying your wooden pool from one of these sites proceed with caution. Can I buy a wooden pool from a "high street" name web site or other on-line shop?Some non swimming pool web sites do sell various types of wooden swimming pools. Ask yourself is about support. When you are part way through building your wooden pool on a Saturday afternoon will you be able to get telephone advice from someone who knows about wooden pools? If you need an extra part will they stock it? When you are using the pool who will give advice about water treatment or parts? At 1066 Pools we have built many wooden pools and can give you experienced advice before, during and after your wooden swimming pool project. Buying a Wooden Swimming Pool On-Line?This is not a small purchase, before ordering a wooden swimming pool from a web shop ask yourself: • Does the company provide a full postal address, company registration number and VAT number? These all help to ensure you are dealing with a genuine supplier. • Are there any delivery charges to be added to the advertised price? • Does the company have a proper land line phone number (0800, 0845 numbers etc can be diverted to mobiles). Make sure you will be able to stay in touch! • Can you pay by credit card? Although this is expensive for companies selling wooden pools (the card company takes a percentage) buying a swimming pool by credit card gives you the customer lots of protection. • Does the company offer an installation service? Even if you build your own pool deal with a company that installs wooden pools so you can get detailed phone support. Test this out by asking for swimming pool installation details on the phone. • Are the prices up to date? Before comparing wooden pools for too long e-mail to check the current price and availability. Do I need a Concrete Base for my Wooden Pool?It is recommended but the choice is yours. Concrete bases gives a firm, level structure that will not move over the years. It is possible to scrape away loose top soil and build your wooden pool without a concrete base but you will need to form a sand & cement floor inside to give a good finish. Please do call us on 01424 870505 to discuss the options. We can supply the factory instructions in advance, these should be followed carefully and discuss the options in detail. What about Metal Braces or Supports?Some of the wooden pools (mostly the stretched, rectangular and exercise swimming pools) need extra support to stop the water pressure bowing out the longer sides. Metal braces are used to hold the pools rigid. These are usually placed in the ground when you make the base and then the pool wall is built up inside the wooden pool metal brace. On the Eco wooden pools the metal brace remains visible (you could make a wooden box to hide it) while on the Premium wooden pools a wooden kit is supplied to box in the metal braces so they are hidden. Please refer to the full instructions or call us. |
