When is the best time to start building your future shell pool?

It's decided: this year, you're building your shell pool in your garden to enjoy the pleasures of swimming with family or friends. However, the construction period is not something to be taken lightly; and the reason for this is simple!

First of all, several elements need to be considered before construction. This is particularly the case for the choice of your swimming pool builder , the budget you wish to allocate to construction, but also the administrative formalities to be completed to begin work.

But rest assured, there is indeed an ideal period for building your swimming pool . So before diving in at the deep end, read Aboral's advice carefully to build your shell pool in the best conditions!

Fall, the ideal season for building your swimming pool

To be sure to enjoy the pleasure of swimming as soon as the good weather approaches, it is best to look into the subject as early as the fall season. Firstly, because this is the period when pool builders are most available to meet your expectations and to start work in good conditions. Indeed, the majority of requests for swimming pool construction are made between May and September. By letting the rush of the summer period pass, you will be able to think more about your desires and needs for your future shell pool !

The second reason why we recommend building in the fall concerns the quality of the soil at this time. Indeed, the earth is easier to work and the water table is lower. A godsend to start construction work, whether for the installation of the shell pool or for the earthworks !

Please note, however, that some regions of France are more prone to frost or excessive rain as winter approaches.

Fortunately, by choosing your Aboral pool builder, 3 to 4 months (including administrative procedures) will be enough to create the pool of your dreams !

The essential steps before starting the construction of your swimming pool

As you will have understood, the best time to start work on your swimming pool is in the fall. However, to avoid falling behind, it is imperative to complete the administrative procedures well in advance.

If your pool is larger than 10m2 , a building permit application is mandatory. Please note that obtaining this building permit can take up to 3 months! On the other hand, if you have opted to build a mini-pool (less than 10m2 ) , only a work declaration application will be necessary. The latter is available 2 months after the submission of the files to the Town Hall, so it is better to anticipate!

To get your pool in time for the arrival of the sun, you will need to start thinking about the pool of your dreams at the beginning of summer. This way, you will have time – before the fall season – to choose your pool builder , configure the pool that suits you and submit your application to the town hall to obtain your building permit .
