Before looking at Plunge Pools the first thing to do is look in your backyard and work out where you would have it. Plunge Pools are available in different shapes and sizes. Would you be more looking for a round or a rectangle Plunge Pool and what size can you fit/do you want?

These are some of the first questions we will ask you when you talk to us, so it is good to have an idea of what you are after. If you have a smaller backyard you might be limited in space so it is important to do measurements prior to looking.

Along with space available, there are also several other factors to consider. Plunge Pools start as just that, a Plunge Pool, but can be fully customized, making them fully unique to each of our customers.
