Sophie666 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Having considered the alternatives and the cost of excavation for a more permanent in ground pool I am tempted by the Sunsoka wooden kit pools marketed in the UK but to be delivered to my second home in France.Can anyone out there who has had a similar pool sent out to France for assembly there please comment on the experience?It is likely to be used for only a few weeks during each summer so spending a huge amount of money on a different type of manufacture does not seem to make sense particularly as I will be replacing an existing pool same size.I already have a safety cover, pump, filter etc.All helpful comments welcome.

savoirflair Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Sophie, just a warning for you re. Sunsoka pools. A few weeks ago they went into liquidation, and we have now lost £3000 deposit that we put down with them for a pool to be delivered to France. The previous MD - made all sorts of promises to us that were a complete load of b----t Having got our fingers very badly burned with Sunsoka (we should have paid the deposit with a credit card, which would have given us some protection, but we didn't) - we are now looking at other French pool companies for a similar product.Good luck!Edit: Please note - This post has been edited to comply with the forums code of conduct.

Sophie666 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I clearly need to look at alternatives but prices in France seem to be very expensive so I did consider Sunsoka as an option.I would be interested in the alternatives you manage to find.

Théière Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi Sophie666, Can I ask whats wrong with your existing pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie666 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 It is a `semi enterre` pool with corroded steel framework with a pvc liner now collapsing in on itself about 20 years old so needing replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It's done very well then. I don't know if these could helphttp://www.beaverpool.com/fr/fabricant-piscine-bois.htmlThere is also an italian company who make a concrete pool that looks just like one of the wooden pools but obviously no rot, I have their information filed but they do have distributors in France too.
