Adding a plunge pool in Darwin can turn your backyard into a refreshing retreat during the hot season. Precast concrete pools are low-maintenance but can be surprisingly very expensive.

For a smaller, stylish option, Plungie pools are designed for compact backyards, with total costs ranging from $34,000 to $60,000 depending on installation and site-specific factors. StockTankPoolsAustralia.com.au offers galvanized steel stock tank pools that are durable, quick to install, and a big step up from flimsy plastic inflatables, costing around $5,000.

If you want a deeper dip, Outback Pools offers plunge pools in set sizes with extra depth. However, you’re paying around four times the cost of a stock tank pool for just a few extra feet of depth, with prices starting from $20,000. Whether that steep hike in price is worth it is up to you.

Whether you’re after affordability, durability, or extra depth, Plungie, stock tank pools, and Outback Pools all provide options suitable for Darwin backyards, letting you enjoy a refreshing swim when the weather heats up.
