home installation, and are ideal for the self-build enthusiast with reasonable DIY skills. Opportunities for health and fitness can be enhanced by the installation of a Sunsoka Sport pool, which comes complete with a high-power swim jet. Individually designed pool enclosures or wood cabins, also supplied by Villagio, encourage all-year-round swimming whilst potentially reducing pool running costs. A Sunsoka pool could add tremendous enjoyment and value to your customer’s home.
EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES
It’s a fact that swimming is rated as the UK’s most popular participation sport and Golden Coast offer a cost effective and easy alternative to a domestic in-ground swimming pool through their range of above-ground wooden pools. A total of eight wooden pool kits are available, each intended to meet the specific needs of available space, budget and design, and capable of being installed above-ground or partially in-ground. If required the pool can be installed in-ground or within a decked area as a more economical way of providing a permanent domestic pool. Constructed from 44mm thick high-grade Russian redwood planks, the pools come fully equipped with everything needed for installation and immediate use, from an internal stainless steel and an external wooden ladder, a filtration kit incorporating all pipe-work and fittings and a water treatment kit, as well as separate solar summer and winter debris covers.
IN VOGUE
Paramount Pool Products have been selling the long established Vogue range of above-ground pools for many years. Seasons can now be extended by adding a Sun Dome from Fabrico, also supplied by Paramount. Vogue above- ground swimming pools are constructed using blow moulding technology. By utilising this process pools have a smoother, more elegant contour with superior shock absorbency. The

pools are a breeze to install due to the unique interlocking parts that also provide increased lateral strength – that is unmatched. Vogue above ground swimming pools provide pleasure, quality design, a refreshing place to swim and a welcome highlight to countless gardens across the continent.
READY TO SWIM FROM PISCINELLE Piscinelle Pools offer a range of high quality wooden pools that are innovative and feature high specifications and a wide range of options. The theme is they are ready to swim and delivered as a complete kit.
Eight models feature in the range, four timber and four aluminium, and six different sizes per model. Sizes range from a 3m plunge pool to an elegant 24m lap pool.
Increasingly these high quality pools are sought by families or owners who want to make the pool into a real feature in their garden so are often sunk into the ground. The ease of building is a big advantage over concrete pools and can be installed in a few days. Features include
underwater lighting, a pump filter and many options such as solid IPE hardwood coping, internal stairs, an integrated counter-current device and automatic safety covers to name but a few.
MOVEABLE FEASTS
Trevor Miller of Plastica feels that above-ground pools have certainly progressed in recent times commenting. “Above-ground pools have evolved over the last few years particularly regarding wooden pools. These are far from the cheapest above-ground pool on the market, but they can transform any garden in just a few days. Plastica wooden pools are of very high quality and are exceptionally good value for money.” Trevor also feels that above-ground pools are probably gaining in popularity over that of in- ground installations for these reasons. “Versatility: An above-ground pool does not actually have to remain above-ground. It can be fully or partially sunk into the ground or have decking placed around it to give the appearance of an in-ground. The pools can also be moved to another part of the garden if necessary or taken with the family if they move house. And, of course, above-ground pools do not require planning permission. Price is also another strong consideration. Above grounds at the low end of the market are very affordable and brilliant for young families.” Plastica have a large range of low to mid priced pools as well as high end wooden pools with all the extras retailing at around £10,000. Size wise they also offer a good selection from small 8ft round splasher type pools to huge 30ft x 15ft and beyond.
