Do it yourself home improvement projects are all the rage! Homeowners enjoy going the DIY route for a multitude of reasons, from saving money to being able to work on and complete the project on their own time to feeling the satisfaction of completing a project with their own skills and labor.

DIY projects are even taking the pool market by storm. Many homeowners are opting for the DIY route by purchasing fiberglass pool kits and taking care of the installation on their own. While this is quite the project to take on, there are many benefits to choosing to self-install your pool.

We’re taking a deep dive into DIY pools and some of the benefits of going this route. Keep reading to learn more and see if you’re ready to take the “do it yourself” plunge with your dream pool project!

DIY Fiberglass Pools Save You Money

The cost saving factor of a DIY pool is perhaps one of the most motivating benefits for homeowners. The biggest reason why DIY saves you money is the fact that you do not have to pay a professional company to handle installation. When you choose to go the DIY route, you become the contractor and installer, which means you will handle excavation and installation. 

Choosing a fiberglass pool for your DIY project will also save you money. Fiberglass pools are known for their durability and longevity, saving you money over time as you do not have to worry about replacing liners like you do with vinyl pools or having to spend on a multitude of chemicals to protect the pool from erosion over time like you do with concrete pools!

DIY - Do It Your Way

One of the biggest reasons why homeowners enjoy DIY projects is because they get to do things their way. From design to installation, you call all the shots when you choose to DIY your pool! This is a great option for homeowners who have a specific style, timeline, and process in mind. Every step of your project is up to you - giving you the space and freedom to truly ensure that the final result is everything you’ve been dreaming of.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

While they require a lot of hard work, patience, and dedication, DIY projects are very satisfying once finished. It feels good to work together with family or friends to complete such a big project! While your finished pool will certainly be a space where memories are made, the DIY process is also something you will always remember. From sitting down with your family to envision and plan your dream pool to doing the work to get it installed, you’ll enjoy being able to look at your finished project and remember the time put in to make it a reality.

Start Now - Be Ready for Summer!

Another great advantage of choosing to do your pool project is being able to do it on your own timeline. As the weather warms up and we get closer to spring and summer in Central Ohio, many pool companies will begin to get busier and their schedules will start to fill. This means that you may not be guaranteed to have your pool installed and finished before the beginning of the summer! When you handle your pool’s installation, you get to dictate how and when your project gets finished. If you start the DIY process now you’ll be able to enjoy your beautiful pool all summer long!
