In-Ground Garden Pool Guide – Types, Costs, Installation & Tips [2025]

BUYING A GARDEN POOL – WHERE TO START?

What type of garden pool can be installed in the ground?

You can install both polyester and polypropylene pools in the ground. The main differences lie in design and customization – polyester pools are made using ready-made molds, while polypropylene pools allow more flexibility in shape and size.

Is it worth installing an in-ground garden pool?

Yes – it’s a long-term investment. An in-ground pool boosts your daily comfort, increases your property value, and lets you swim whenever you want. No more traffic jams to water parks or crowded spa “relaxation.”

What are the pros and cons of an in-ground pool?

Advantages include durability, visual appeal, and ease of use. Disadvantages include a higher upfront cost and the need to prepare the ground. With Europool, you get installation included – our team prepares the ground and installs the shell in as little as 5 days!

Do I need a building permit for an in-ground pool?

If your pool is under 50 m², you don’t need a building permit. Larger pools require formal approval. At Europool, we offer 33 models you can install without a permit.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT GARDEN POOL

What is the difference between a polyester and a polypropylene pool?

Polyester pools are created by layering materials over a mold – you can choose from 33 predefined shapes and sizes. Polypropylene pools are welded from flat sheets, so you can fully customize the design to suit your garden.

Which pool is more durable: polyester or polypropylene?

Both are durable, but polypropylene pools withstand extreme temperatures better and are fully resistant to osmosis. Our premium vinyl ester pools are reliable for up to 20 years – backed by manufacturer warranty.

Which garden pool is best for long-term use?

The best pools are made of materials resistant to UV rays, pool chemicals, and mechanical damage – like vinyl ester or high-grade polypropylene. Professional installation is equally important for long-term performance.

POOL COSTS AND SITE PREPARATION

What is the cost of maintaining a garden pool?

Pool upkeep depends on various factors and increases with pool size. It includes pool chemicals, electricity for the pump, possible water heating, and operating accessories like counter-current systems or massage jets.

How to prepare your garden for an in-ground pool?

Check whether a crane has access to the site and arrange electrical connections. Europool handles the excavation, reinforced base plate, pool installation, and backfilling. Our team also connects all piping and pool technology.

INSTALLING A GARDEN POOL

How long does pool installation take?

Typically, 5 working days. Additional elements like a wooden deck or enclosure may extend the timeline to around 10 days.

Can I install a pool by myself?

Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. Professional installation ensures durability and protects your warranty. If you want to install a pool yourself, we recommend our PP-Box – a polypropylene pool with built-in tech for self-assembly.

What is the warranty on Europool pools?

Depending on the material, our pools come with different warranties – up to 20 years for Crystal Vinyl Pools. The exact warranty varies for polyester, polypropylene, and premium models.

Does Europool offer pool servicing after installation?

Yes, we provide both warranty and post-warranty service. We assist with maintenance, repairs, winterization, and preparing your pool for the summer season.

POOL MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Can you use a pool all year round?

Yes – with the right heating system, cover, and frost protection, in-ground pools can be used throughout the year.

How do you maintain a garden pool in winter?

Lower the water level, add winterizing chemicals, secure the equipment, and cover the pool with a winter pool cover. Our service team can handle full winterization for you.

What filters are best for in-ground pools?

Sand filters are the most popular – durable and effective. We also offer glass media filters, which are slightly more expensive but provide better performance.

Do you need a heat pump for a pool?

Not essential, but it greatly enhances comfort. A heat pump keeps the water at a comfortable 26–30 °C for the entire swimming season – regardless of the weather.

How do you keep pool water clean?

Key factors include strong filtration, regular chemical dosing (e.g. chlorine or pool salt), bottom vacuuming, and correct water pH. A cover also helps reduce debris and keep the pool clean.
