Build a pool yourself in Malmö
Many customers want to build their own pool. In that case, it can be good to know the price for building a pool. The prices we offer for the installation of pools are very competitive and it can often be better to let a professional build the pool, rather than doing it yourself.
If you choose an expert for the job, you know that everything will go right, it will go faster, you can spend time on other things, sit back and enjoy the pool when it is finished. When visiting a home in Malmö/Skåne, the excavator and the pool installer/pool builder are on site, so that your quote will be as accurate as possible. It is a perfect opportunity to ask them questions about the construction of the pool, which you may have before you start. Then you are free to start building your dream pool.
Things to consider before building a pool
Although neither a building permit nor a land permit is usually required when building a pool, in the city of Helsingborg and the surrounding area, a certain amount of common sense is still required when building a pool. Some things that are good to consider before building are:
The first thing to consider is the location of the pool on the property, as well as what size and shape suits you best.
You need to decide whether it should be partially or completely buried or above ground.
Check any wiring and pipework for your plot on the website ledningskollen.se . It is the customer’s responsibility to check where the wiring is before building a pool. To best know where you cannot place the pool.
Talk to neighbors in the area who have built pools. It is good to know the soil conditions and groundwater level before building.
Consider whether you have the time and energy to build the pool yourself, or whether it is best to hire a partial or complete contractor.
It’s also a good idea to consider when in the year it’s best for you to start building your pool.

Pool accessories in Malmö
We also have a very wide range of pool accessories that you might need for your pool. Choose between pool accessories that make it more comfortable to be in the pool or more practical ones.
The basic equipment for a pool is a circulation pump that circulates the water in the pool and a sand filter that purifies the water. Then there are various accessories to make the pool water cleaner. A UV lamp changes the DNA of bacteria so that it cannot reproduce in the water, which means that 70-80% less chlorine is required.
A pool heat pump is needed if you want to heat the pool water to 30 degrees, which means you can use the pool from March to October. A pool cover is also a popular pool accessory that insulates the pool and prevents dirt or leaves from getting into the pool, and protects children and animals from falling into the pool.
Some examples of the accessories we provide in our range:
The location of your pool
Placing your pool correctly is very important. Not only for practical reasons, such as where your pipes go, but also for optimal use of the pool. It is also a permanent decision, the pool’s location cannot be changed once the pool is installed and finished.
It is a good idea to place your pool in a good gathering place in the garden. However, not too close to the exits from the house, you don’t want to be close to falling into the pool every time you go out. But not too far away from the house either, seeing the pool is a pleasure for many. Many people feel good about being close to water and seeing the blue water sparkle in the pool. It is something you never tire of. Having good supervision of the pool is also good if you have children or pets.
Pool roof
Another thing to keep in mind is to have a few meters of free space behind the pool, if you want a pool cover. What many people don’t think about is that the pool cover needs a place when it is not covering the pool. This is usually called the pool cover’s “parking space”.
It is good to keep in mind that you need at least 1 meter extra in addition to the “parking space” to be able to walk around your pool. And even if you do not plan to buy a pool cover, it may be good to keep this in mind if you want to buy a cover for your pool at a later date.
Safety is the most common reason for purchasing a pool cover, but there are other good reasons to get one. The pool cover protects the water in the pool from contaminants such as sand, stones, dirt, leaves and, not least, rainwater that changes the pool’s pH value.
A pool cover is also a good economical alternative. If you cover the pool with a pool cover, you can use the pool for a longer period and extend the swimming season. You can then expect to be able to swim in the pool from April to October in 28-30 degree water, as the pool cover has a high insulating capacity.
The pool stairs
The pool stairs should always be at the end closest to the house / patio / balcony on your property. You should also consider where the sun rises and sets, so that you get the sun in your face and not in your back. For a smaller pool that is 3 x 6 m, corner stairs, a round corner staircase or a corner staircase with a bench are preferable. This is so that you can use the entire length of the pool.
For a larger pool of 4 x 8 m, a full-length staircase or a corner staircase with a bench seat is recommended. You can then sit at your full-length staircase, while at the same time being able to go down into the pool. In recent years, however, it has become more popular to have a corner staircase with a bench seat instead, since full-length staircases take up 1.2 m of the pool’s length.
How big a pool in Malmö should you choose?
The basic rule is that if you have a smaller plot of <400 m2, a pool size of 3 x 6 m is recommended. While large plots of >400 m2 can have pool sizes of 4 x 8 m or larger. These two pool sizes are standard and all pool enclosures are manufactured according to these pool sizes.
Choosing a pool that suits all your needs and the whole family is not always an easy task. But building an oasis on your property where you can escape the hot inner city of Malmö is worth its weight in gold.
A wonderful and refreshing swim that is appreciated by adults and children alike, but also guests. A pool that you can enjoy for many years to come, which can also increase the price of your house in Malmö.
