Embarking on the journey to own an above ground pool isn't just about making a purchase; it's about stepping into a lifestyle of leisure, fun, and countless memories. While the allure of diving into your own pool during the sweltering summer months is undeniable, the strategic timing of this acquisition might surprise you. Contrary to popular belief, the cooler months of fall and winter can be the ideal times to make your pool-owning dreams a reality. Let's dive deeper into the nuances of pool purchasing timing, ensuring you make a splash with your decision at the right moment.
Winter: A Wonderland of Opportunities
Believe it or not, the chilly embrace of winter months presents the hottest deals for aspiring pool owners. With new inventory arriving and retailers eager to clear space, winter offers a unique opportunity to get ahead of the installation schedule, ensuring your backyard oasis is ready the moment the first warm breeze of spring touches your skin. The advantages of a winter purchase include:
- Early Bird Perks: Gain priority access to installation schedules, avoiding the spring and summer rush.
- Broad Selection: Be the first to choose from the latest models and features, ensuring you don’t miss out on the perfect pool for your space.
- Last Seasons Savings: Take advantage of HUGE savings on floor models, overstock, clearance models and more!
Fall: The Season of Second Chances
If the thought of waiting through winter sends a shiver down your spine, fall offers a golden window of opportunity. With leftover inventory from summer, you can still find a great deal on the pool of your dreams. Fall buying benefits include:
- Last-Minute Deals: Retailers are keen to clear out remaining stock, offering attractive discounts.
- Unpredictable Weather, Predictable Savings: With the chance of warm autumn days, you could install your pool sooner and enjoy an extended season of use.
- Reserve a Spot On The Installation List: Buying in the fall can reserve you an early spot on the year's installation list.
Spring and Summer: Planning Ahead
As temperatures climb, so does the demand for pools. The allure of a refreshing swim in the comfort of your own backyard becomes almost irresistible, driving many to make their pool purchase in the spring and summer months. While this timing offers the widest selection of new pool models and features, it comes with its own set of considerations. Here's how to navigate the warmer months effectively:

Summer Purchases and Installation Schedules
Opting to purchase your above-ground pool during the summer does come with its challenges, particularly when it comes to installation. As the demand for pools peaks, so does the length of our installation waitlist. It's a first-come, first-served system, and those who wait until the summer to purchase their pool might find themselves at the end of a long line of eager pool owners, all awaiting their turn for installation.
This wait can extend your timeline significantly, pushing back that first joyful plunge into your new pool. In some cases, what was envisioned as a mid-summer oasis could become an end-of-season rush to get in a few quick dips before the chill of fall arrives. It's an important factor to consider for those dreaming of endless summer days lounging in their own pool.
Planning Ahead
To avoid the bottleneck of summer installation schedules, consider planning your pool purchase ahead of time. Buying in the fall or winter not only secures you a spot at the front of the installation queue come spring, but it also offers the opportunity to enjoy the full breadth of summer in your new pool. Furthermore, our off-season purchases come with additional incentives, from discounted pricing on last season's models to special holiday deals that maximize your savings.
