How to Pay for Your Pool

Financing a pool can be a bit different from financing a house, car or any other major purchase. Happily, whatever the cost, paying for your pool can be easily broken down into manageable phases — especially when you build your pool with Owner Grown Pool Plans!

  • 1. Pay as you go: build in stages
  • 2. Cash on hand for the entire project
  • 3. Long-term loan — typically a home equity loan
  • 4. A combination of the above

Pay As You Go

The "pay-as-you-go" method is best for homeowners who prefer to limit long-term financing, yet do not have access to the full amount of cash needed to build their own pools.

This method involves building your swimming pool in stages, as your cash becomes available. Often, for example, people are able to predict their future commissions or bonuses. Working within your individual needs and available resources, Owner Grown Pool Plans is here to help you establish a "pay-as-you-go" plan that supports successfully building your own pool.

Initially, you would only need enough cash to take the pool through the design process, building permits, and the first few building phases through shotcrete. Once the shotcrete shell is completed you can slow the process down.

Why do you need to take it through shotcrete? Up to that point, a good hard rain could demolish the hole your excavator dug, resulting in a costly redo.

The "pay-as-you-go" method allows you to pay your individual sub-contractors for each part of the building process, rather than for the whole thing at once. In this way, your pool building project could be spread out over a year, or possibly longer if that would be more convenient for you. By beginning the process this summer, for example, you could be planning to swim in your own pool by next summer. While most cities require you to formally extend your pool project if it takes longer than 6 months to complete, Owner Grown Pool Plans will guide you through the steps as necessary.

Everyone’s "pay-as-you-go" plan varies according to their individual circumstances, and you may be pleasantly surprised at the options available to you. Please let us know if your intention is to pay as you go and we will assist in developing your pool project accordingly. We will include some ideas to make your initial funds go furthest, so you may complete the shotcrete stage in the shortest time possible. We will also alert you to any limitations involved when extending your pool project beyond the initial permit allowance. Call us now for more information!

Cash On Hand

An obvious and easy solution, using cash on hand or drawn from your savings program is by far the most economical and timely method for building your own pool.

Long-Term Loans

The majority of home owners build their beautiful new pool by merely taking the equity in their home and converting it to cash. It’s easy, inexpensive, and very tax wise! Most studies show that a pool will increase the value of your home anywhere between 7% and 15%, depending on where your house is located. It will also continue to increase in value throughout the years, just like you home.

While long-term loans are the most common method used for financing a swimming pool, with the current conditions of our housing market, many homeowners have limited equity from which to draw. This simply makes it more challenging but certainly still doable.

Building your own pool with Owner Grown Pool Plans is the ideal approach because you are free to utilize several creative solutions according to your needs and present situation.
