Pools and Hot Tubs

Above-ground pools, family sets and hot tubs for seasonal bathing in the garden. Frame and inflatable structures can be set up in one afternoon and taken down and stored for winter, so they don't require a building permit or ground works.

When choosing the size, keep in mind that you need at least a metre of free space around the pool for maintenance, and that the ground must be flat and free of stones — unevenness under the liner is the most common cause of leaking. To operate the pool, you'll also need filtration and chemicals, which you can find in the neighbouring subcategories.
