PERMITS

Do You Need a Permit for a Pool in Port Stanley?

Yes. Central Elgin requires a swimming pool permit, issued by its Building Division. The application needs a lot grading plan unless the Municipality exempts your lot, and a deck, shed or pergola around the pool needs its own permit.

We handle the permit paperwork for you as part of every installation.

If your yard is near Kettle Creek, its valley or the Lake Erie shoreline, the local conservation authority may need to issue a permit as well. Central Elgin wants that approval in hand before it issues the pool permit.

POOL FENCES

Pool Fence Rules in Port Stanley

✓The fence must be at least 1.2 m (4 ft) high at every point, measured from the outside.
✓Gaps can be no wider than 10 cm (4 in), and chain-link openings no wider than 3.8 cm (1.5 in).
✓Gates must close and latch on their own, with the latch at the top of the gate on the pool side.
✓The fence can't be climbable like a ladder, so posts and boards go on the pool side.
✓No water goes in the pool until the permanent fence has been inspected and approved.

COST

What Does a Fiberglass Pool Cost in Port Stanley?

Most of our fiberglass pool projects fall between $82,500 and $143,000, fully installed. That covers the pool, excavation, backfill, basic equipment and a standard concrete patio.

Where you land in that range depends on the pool size, the patio, equipment upgrades and your yard. The Instant Estimator gives you a range for your own project, and you get an exact price once we've seen your yard.

Is a Fiberglass Pool Right for Every Yard?

Not always. Fiberglass pools are built in a factory and shipped by truck, so they top out at about 16 feet wide and about 8 feet deep, and a crane needs a clear path to set the pool in your yard. If you want a bigger pool or a custom shape, concrete is the better choice.
