If you’re thinking about adding a plunge pool in Adelaide or anywhere in South Australia, you have a few smart options between cheap inflatables that barely last a season and high-end builds that cost as much as a luxury car. Precast concrete pools are low-maintenance but surprisingly expensive, often reaching $20,000 or more.

For something smaller, stylish, and affordable, Plungie offers compact plunge pools perfect for tight backyards. StockTankPoolsAustralia.com.au has steel stock tank pools that last for years and look great, all for around $3,500. If you want another steel option, Designer Plunge Pools have a range of similar styles, though costs rise steeply for the extra depth they provide.

For a larger or deeper pool, expect to pay four times the price of a stock tank for that extra metre of depth. South Australia’s mild climate means you can enjoy any of these pools for much of the year, so whether you choose Plungie, a stock tank, or a local custom pool, you can get a budget-friendly, durable, and stylish pool that fits your backyard and lifestyle.
