18' Round Ponderosa

[speakerbox33]

I just got a quote from a local pool store to purchase and install an 18' round (52" wall) Ponderosa AGP.

The pool kit and installation purchase price was $4490 and includes:

Pool Wall & Components
Beaded Liner 20 Gauge
Hayward 17” Sand Filter (100 lbs.)
100 lbs. Filter Sand
Hayward 1.0HP Power-Flo Pump
Ladder (A-Frame or Deck)
Hayward Skimmer & Return
Hayward Ball Valve
Hoses, Connectors, Clamps
Pool Alarm
Start-Up Chemical & Test Kit
8’ to 16’ Telescopic Pole
Vacuum Head
Vacuum Hose
Skimmer Net
Thermometer
Skimmer Net
Pool Brush
Bobcat Work (Up To 3 Hours)
Base Sand & Block Support
Labor To Build Pool



I know pricing is different locations - but does this seem like a good deal? Or would I be better off buying a pool kit with the same things somewhere else and then paying for the labor/services to have it installed?


Thanks for any input!

I bought my 24ft pool online minus pump/filter n telescopic pole for 2k. Shipped to house. We dug out the hill ourselves by renting the excavator n then I hired a guy to finish due to an emergency which run me $700 for both. the pools are not hard to put up at all n can be done in a few hours once the pavers are set n level. If you're looking for an installer, you can probably tack on at the least $1500 on top of it. That's a guesstimate n I should not be quoted.
