What Is Included In Your Above Ground Pool Kit

Our mission is clear: to provide DIY above-ground fibreglass swimming pool kits at an affordable price. Affordable? Yes. Cheap? Absolutely not. A cheap pool kit is appealing at first, but the problems will eventually surface.

That’s why purpose-built and patented Plug 'n' Play above-ground pool kits stand out with a warranty 2x longer than pre-cast concrete pools, backed by trusted major manufacturers. With our extensive installation support and the lowest maintenance pools in Australia, you’ll save thousands while enjoying peace of mind—it’s a standard inclusion.

Below is a transparent list of what is included and is not included in our advertised prices.

• Lifetime Structural Warranty Pool Shell (25 Years)

• Quartz Ultra Fade Resistant AquaGuard™ Gelcoat
  Australian made AquaGuard™ Quartz Ultra marine grade gelcoat is UV and chlorine resistant and offers incredible depth and sparkle. Your pool will still look fantastic in 15 years. AquaGuard™ includes a revolutionary anti-microbial that reduces up to 99% of common water bacteria in conjunction with normal filtration.

• Delivery To Your Verge - NSW, VIC, QLD and SA
  We deliver our above ground pool kits to all States in Australia except WA and NT. Delivery can be as little as $200 or several thousands of dollars depending on where you live. Our advertised DIY pool kit price DOES NOT include delivery. This is so we can secure you the best possible price at the time of your quote rather than having an inflated delivery allowance built into the advertised price.
• Proudly Australian Made DIY Pool Kits
  Your above ground DIY swimming pool is manufactured in a near new climate-controlled NSW factory to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1838-2021.
• Pool Kit Installation Options
  The Plug 'n' Play range is very easy to DIY install. If you would rather have an installer do the work, we can usually put you in touch with a pool installer who works in your local area.

What Is Not Included In Your DIY Above Ground Pool Kit

• Installation Instructions
  We don’t provide detailed step-by-step installation instructions. However, you will have access to our entire "How To" video library, 15 page tip sheet and 7 day a week phone support.
• Installation and Set Up Materials
  We don’t provide any installation materials such as plumbing fittings. (The Plug 'n' Play doesn't require cement-stabilised backfill or a bond beam as a heads up) Your pool installer can supply these as part of their installation quote or you can source these at your local hardware and plumbing supply shop. Our 15 page tip sheet and videos fill you in on the type of materials you need.
• Arranging Council Approval and Site Specific Engineering Details
  We don’t provide council approval process consulting services. You can use a Building Certifier to help you or apply directly to the council yourself. We can usually put you in touch with a Building Surveyor if you need a hand. If your council requests a site-specific engineering compliance certificate, this is not provided in your kit. We will put you in touch with the Engineer to arrange and pay for this certificate directly.
