      We have just gone with a quote from Australian Outdoor Living (who use Barrier Reef Pools). They do everything from digging, installation, to the finished product and the price was reasonable. They seem to have a good reputation. We've recently moved into a new build at the Seaford Rise Coast estate, so hopefully we'll have the pool in for summer!

      Good luck to everyone.

      Cheers guys and hopefully by passing on the word it will stop them doing this to anyone else!

      Dear Carla,
      OK I'm curious. We are just finalising our decision about installing a pool or moving. Who do I need to avoid? I've looked at so many catalogues and talked to so many people. I'm so sorry for what's happened!

      I think they're in damage control, assume your not allowed to 'name and shame' them so PM me please.

      We had a pool put in 10 years ago by Freedom and never had a problem but have a mate who went through the same process a few years ago.
      Once i know what he did to get his rectified i'll pass on the info.

      Just seen how old the thread is but i really hope it all turns/turned out well

      Cheers

      BR
