A Guelph homeowner finally got a pool in his house after waiting two years due to the pandemic. The pool company contracted by the homeowner proceeded with the installation in winter, which is not the recommended season for any installations, to make up for the demand backlog.
The pool installer told CTV News that when the pandemic started initially there was a complete pall of silence for a while, but then the demand for pools skyrocketed with a lot of customers recognizing the need for a pool at their homes. For the installer, this meant working throughout the previous winter up until February to meet the demand.
“We knew that a lot of companies were busy and swamped,” says the homeowner. However, he was in for a surprise—he find out that the pool installer, suggested to him by a neighbour, still had some availability. Initially, the homeowner had given up all hopes that the installation could progress this year. “Then they came and said ‘hey, the weather is going to be decent, we can still do it this year,” he explained.
The installation proceeded smoothly, beginning with a hole being dug up, and a crane bringing in the 2.74-m-(9-ft)-deep fibreglass swimming pool and placing it in the backyard.
