David, Rathmines - NSW
"We went with a Paradise Pool because of our narrow sloping back yard, power lines out the front, and difficult lift from the bottom road. Also 12-14 month wait for other pool options.
Due to our slope, we would’ve required a reinforced fiberglass pool which was $65k+ installed (no decking). We would have needed to close the bottom road (a school zone) for the day, and drop the power on 2 neighbours. One factor we considered was an advantage was that if we, or a future owner no longer required a pool, we could easily remove it, yet keep one or two of the wall as they are retaining walls in their own right. A simple yet quality solution for our difficult block.
A solid construction, great instruction manual and great support from Paradise Pools. A simple yet quality solution for our difficult block."

Jamie, East Launceston - TAS
"We have a block with really tricky access - on a slope, lots of power lines, very tight side access. We had very expensive quotes that included craning pools over the top of the house, major engineering plans etc. We discovered Paradise Pools on-line. This was appealing because it was DIY which would give us control of the project and also enabled us to carry the pool in sections through to the back yard. Justifying the price of a pool install from other companies was difficult. We felt this was a quality product at an affordable price that with the right finishing would suit our house and family nicely.
Installation seemed a little daunting to begin with, but the instructions were really good. I read through them many times and followed them exactly. We had a very easy run with the build. A couple of times I was a little unsure, rang Jo-Anne and my questions were answered quickly. At the end of the day, building the pool was relatively easy, building the surrounding deck is what took the majority of my time.
Delivery was great and I think the quality finish of the pool is great. The design is very clever and I love that we could get a rectangle shape. Often you can be very disappointed with the quality of a DIY purchase, but this is actually very impressive. The service cannot be faulted. Easy and fast communication, friendly and straight-forward answers to questions. Everything was top notch."

"I’d just like to express my appreciation for your company and your products. Ashlee and I are very happy with the final product.
We were seeking a challenge, we relish projects where we can proudly show our success, knowing that we accomplished them entirely on our own, without relying on any external contractors.
The pool construction started off effortlessly. Within just three days, we had successfully finished building the framework. The installation instructions were incredibly clear and detailed, making the entire construction process a breeze.
Undoubtedly, the most captivating aspect of our project was the waterfall wall we constructed on the opposite end of the pool. Moreover, the fact that we were able to create this extraordinary pool entirely on our own is undoubtedly our most cherished accomplishment."

"We have a sloping block with difficult access. The Paradise pool was in small enough pieces that we could handle to the backyard, as well as it being suited to being partially inground/above ground.
The instructions were well set out and easy to follow. We were able to choose the things that we could take on ourselves and also what we wanted to outsource. This helped manage our budget and it was great to see our own efforts coming together.
Seeing our kids play in the pool just about every day during summer is so much fun. We are really happy that it turned out so well and we have been enjoying it ever since."

"When we started looking at pools for your yard we looked at above ground, fiberglass and traditional concrete inground pools. We wanted a pool that was custom sized to fit perfectly in the space we had, it needed to be fully in-ground, we wanted to have tiled coping and I wanted to do as much of the build as possible. With Paradise Pools we could have all the features we wanted in our pool, I could do the whole project myself and the cost was within our budget.
The instructions provided to install the pool were clear, concise and very detailed. All screws, fittings etc. were supplied and the install was fairly easy. It was hard work in some bits and some parts were tricky but all was well explained in the documentation. Jo-Anne at Paradise Pools was always available for questions and support if I had them.
We love being able to walk outside and swim whenever we want, the kids are more active and love having their friends over for pool parties and we love how good it looks and fits so well in our backyard and garden."

David, Warburton - VIC
"I chose a Paradise Pool was because my block is sloping and the design suited my needs perfectly. My access is also very restricted via a narrow sloping road, making it impossible to get large equipment like concrete trucks or cranes to site, as required for concrete or fibreglass pools.
The pool was relatively easy to assemble once the hole had been dug and following the instructions was very easy. Having all the plumbing ports already in the timbers made it very easy to install the plumbing.
My favourite thing about the pool is being able to enjoy knowing I built it all by myself. Solar option is awesome, had the pool sitting on 27c in two days with the assistance of the solar blanket .
Couldn’t really fault the pool kit or service. It was absolutely a pleasure and very easy to deal with Paradise Pools . "

Instructions were very detailed. Friends and family are so amazed that this is a DIY pool. The finished product looks amazing and has really finished off our backyard. The joy I get out of hearing my kids having fun in the pool means the effort of building it was well and truly worth it. I swim in it every morning before work. I love our new pool."

The main reason for choosing a Paradise Pool…..at the end of the day it was the price. We really wanted a pool for our growing family and paradise pools provided a "modern look' over the traditional style of above ground pools.
The instruction book was relatively easy to follow and if we had any questions Jo-Anne and the team were available via phone and or email to provide instructions.
Our favourite thing about it all is watching our 3 year old daughter learn to swim and play in our pool that she helped her dad and grandad build! She has been in it every day! "

"We chose the Paradise Pool because of the ability to DIY build a pool, that doesn't look cheap or temporary, everyone thinks we spent twice what we did.
It was hard yakka, but to be expected given what's being built, and well worth it. As for difficulty, if you have a trade or sound DIY skills it's fairly easy and the instructions are great.
Favourite thing about our new pool is the beer and swim after a hot day at work, and playing in it with my daughter. In terms of the actual pool, the pump, filter and chlorinator system is a beast, especially coupled with the cleaner. Water's been crystal clear since it was turned on and we haven't used the leaf scoop once. "

"The main reason for choosing a Paradise Pool…..price, and could do it myself easily, at my own pace. It also provided an option to remove at a later date if and when it was no longer required, kids growing up etc, without the associated costs of disposal of a fibreglass pool. Gave us a good size, with enough options to suit most people’s needs. Ironically on the first inspection from the certifier, she commented that she and her partner had a Paradise Pool and were extremely happy with it, which ratified our decision.
Instructions are easy and straightforward, no issues. Follow the words and it all works. Also great having the pictures in the instruction manual. Plumbing, etc. was no dramas, it’s great having all of the bits supplied already fitted as they were. No complaints at all with anything.
The best thing is how much the kids are enjoying it."

"We have a tricky block, with bad access, small dead end street and sewer running under the back fence. It was expensive and difficult to get a more traditional pool. This pool was a good compromise between a fibreglass/cement pool and an above ground pool. Allowed me to achieve an inground look, including steps, decking etc, within the constraints of my block.
The instructions were great. Follow up support was great...I wouldn't say it was easy, but definitely achievable by a relatively handy person.
We love watching the kids play in the pool, given that for a time we thought it may have been impossible for us to get a pool on our block!"

The couple of questions I had were resolved straight away after an email.

"I love the satisfaction of having installed something that is incredibly functional, looks great and didn't cost the earth. The Paradise Pool gave us the flexibility to install an inground pool where fibreglass would be tricky if not impossible. The cost was very reasonable for both the size and quality, especially when compared to a similar sized concrete pool ($110,000!!). We were also impressed that it’s an Australian family owned business that supports Australian manufacturers and suppliers."
There was obviously a bit of hard work that went into installing the pool but it was easily completed by one person for many of the steps and with a few mates for some of the heavier post placements. The installation instructions were very detailed and obviously the result of many years of refinement and tweaking. I found that as I did the build, the instruction book addressed many of the questions or alerted me to possible issues as I progressed. If I really got stuck I would only have to send a quick email to Jo-Anne and I would have an answer very quickly. It’s almost as easy as painting by numbers!
I love being able to walk straight from our deck, into the pool. It's a fantastic way to keep the kids off their devices as well as a relaxing way to entertain with friends. Adding a heat pump was the icing on the cake as we’ve extended our swimming season right through Autumn. The pool is quite well insulated because of its construction and easily reaches and maintains its temperature compared to our friend’s concrete pool.
The service we received was second to none! Jo-Anne and the Paradise Pools team were outstanding in their professional, prompt and knowledgeable interactions. Nothing seemed to be a problem or hassle and Jo-Anne especially seems to be able to sort, source or find out what ever we needed for our pool. I can't thank you enough!"

Paradise pools ticked all the boxes and were substantially cheaper than any other option.
Instructions were very easy to follow and service was excellent. It looks amazing and is low maintenance. Paradise pools also set us up with a great deal on a heat pump, this allows the kids to use the pool every day for 10 months of the year!"

Paradise Pools impressed us with their cost, sturdiness, and proven durability of their product. We also liked the way the design leant itself to working in our difficult site.
Our pool has significantly changed the way we spend time as a family and we love being able to engage with our three boys for hours on end spending quality time together and making happy memories. Also, the satisfaction of being able to tell our visitors that we built it ourselves is just awesome!
In all honesty, the installation process was immensely rewarding – far beyond what we could have expected. For someone like myself who had zero experience in building anything more complicated than an IKEA bookshelf, being able to stand back and see the enjoyment it brings my family is worth every cent – and then some! I can’t speak highly enough of Paradise Pools and their wonderful product."

"We chose a paradise pool as we wanted to build an inground pool. Paradise Pools are structurally strong enough to enable us to build our decking directly onto the pool wall giving the illusion of a specifically designed in ground pool. Another contributing factor is the Liner tracking system which allows the liner to be changed without having to dismantle and remove the decking. Ooh… and of course how can we forget the seat/step. This provides a safe haven for littlies and the elderly. This step also contributes to the aesthetics of the pool and anyone who sees our pool believe it is an actual specifically designed inground pool."
"The instructions for the construction of the pool were very concise and illustrated. When we did come across obstacles, we could call the team at Paradise pools and they could put us back on the right track. Paradise Pools ongoing assistance was extremely valuable and never during the process did we feel like we had “bitten off more than we could chew”. The kit was delivered well packaged, without damage and just as importantly complete."
"We love to see the reactions of others who simply cannot believe that the pool is not an inground pool and that it came as a kit and was built out of timber logs.

"We picked Paradise Pools because with all other above ground steel pools we couldn't get any rectangular sizes, we found even with a 6 meter oval pool so much is lost in the corners. Also the coping looks so much better with decking over it instead of the metal coping popping up also causing a trip hazard. Rectangular looks aesthetically much better and the built in stairs look so much more professional. Paradise Pools seemed to be the only manufacturer of above ground pools with all the options we wanted for the right price! They proved there 40 plus years experience when we purchased our new pool with what seems like extreme durability and quality with all the luxuries like rectangular shapes (which we couldn't find anywhere else) in built stairs, timber top coping for an amazing finish with the deck and everything we needed for installation included, we now have what looks like a $50k plus looking pool setup for less than half the price and we couldn't be happier, thanks again. I am an electrician and refrigeration mechanic by trade so I was in no way a pool builder but I am now!
