Tips In Make A Fiberglass Pool Prices Estimate

By Minnie Whitley


If you are planning to construct a water playground for your kids, then you have to consider how much it will cost you. You have to get an estimate for the fiberglass pool prices. First, you have to draw a map of your property. You have to decide on a rough position for that playground. Draw it up on a graph paper.

Price the excavation after considering the size and the depth requirements. The cost you have to pay for will increase if the soil you are working is rocky. You have to include ten percent in total cost if you have case rocks or shale since it must be cut through with the use of a jackhammer.

The surface type is another thing to consider. You have to make a choice on what kind of surface will you be choosing for your pools. It is up to you to choose whether you will go for the sprayed-in-place concrete, or if you prefer the vinyl liner. Of course, there are lots of people who go for fiberglass.

For the pools, there are standard shapes that you can opt for. It can be a rectangular shape or a kidney-shape. These are the ones that will incur you with the lowest cost. You may also design your own pools depending on the landscape your house is placed on and your preferences. If you go for your own design, then you should be prepared to pay a much higher price.

Select the depth at various locations. Remember that the cost of this construction will also depend on how deep you will want the pools to be. The pricing will be affected on whether you pick the 0 to five feet depth, six to 13 feet depth, or over 13 feet.

It is also a must for you to consider how much water the said construction can hold. If possible, you should determine the number of the gallons of water this planned construction should hold. If you can determine this beforehand, then you can also pick the appropriate size for the pump system and filtration system you have to pick for the water playground.

Determine how much it will cost you to pay for the plumbing. Usually, the plumbing cost will depend on how long the required pipes are, the pipe diameter, the measured distance from the planned bottom drain, return line, filtration unit, and skimmer opening. You have to add all of these costs so that you can calculate the estimate.

There are also local requirements that you will have to pay attention to. You have to know what permit requirements, legal requirements, fencing requirements, and local requirements you have to comply. You have to add these requirements to your calculation so that you can make a better estimate.

Once you get the sum for the separate costs, then you have to add them all up together. After you have gotten the basic estimate, do not forget to calculate the cost for the accessories. Add this cost to the basic estimate. This will then become the estimate you will use to compare with the estimates made by professionals.
