The 4 “P”s: Prior Planning Prevents Problems
Whether it’s your first DIY project or you’re a seasoned pro, one principle reigns supreme: Prior Planning Prevents Problems. The 4 “P”s are essential to any successful home improvement project, especially one as significant as building a plunge pool.
Let’s break it down:
- Prioritize Your Vision
Before you begin, imagine what you want your plunge pool to look like and how you plan to use it. Consider the size, shape, and placement of your pool. Will it be a simple, modern design, or do you want added features like seating areas, grab rails for exercising or possibly a water feature?
Think about the practical details, too:
- How much space do you have in your backyard?
- What materials will complement your existing outdoor décor?
- Do you want the pool to get a refreshing dip in hot weather or a heated unit for year-round use?
- Do you plan to have your plunge pool inground, above ground or partially inground?
Custom Built Spas offers design assistance to help you refine your vision and align it with your space, budget, and personal style.
- Plan Your Layout
Once you’ve solidified your vision, it’s time to get technical. This phase involves detailed planning to ensure everything will work and function perfectly. Measure your space, account for any hidden utilities, then decide on your pool’s depth, dimensions and what type of heating you plan to use if any heating will be required.
Creating a layout also involves selecting the right equipment. With Custom Built Spas, you won’t have to guess or shop blindly. Our team provides a customized equipment list tailored to your specific project, so you’ll know exactly what’s needed.
- Prepare for Construction
Preparation is key to avoiding delays and surprises during construction.
- Secure any permits required by your local town building department.
- Clear the area where the pool will be installed.
- Gather all materials and tools in advance.
This is where Custom Built Spas’ coaching support shines. We’ll walk you through the preparation phase, ensuring you’re ready to tackle the construction with confidence.
- Prevent Potential Pitfalls
DIY projects can sometimes lead to unexpected challenges, but careful preparation reduces the likelihood of errors. By working with professionals like Custom Built Spas, you can avoid common pitfalls, such as selecting incompatible equipment or underestimating the importance of proper water sanitation and circulation.
Our coaching services provide a safety net, guiding you through troubleshooting and ensuring your plunge pool project stays on track.
