Hi Gillken,



Our pools are considered by some to be expensive, and we lose a lot of work because of that. Thats OK with us as we won't compromise on quality, so we can't compromise on price. We put the extra we charge into the pool we build and not our pockets. Steel has gone up drastically these last 12 months and now stands at $1000/tonne more than it did then. We put about 5 tonnes of steel into our 8x4m pools (many others only use 3 or 4 tonnes) and this rise in the price of steel has put $5000 on the COST of a pool that we build. We also use the best grade swimming pool concrete we can buy and all our mechanical & electrical equipment is Astral, made in Spain/Italy and not Chinese/Turkish like many others use. We triple insulate our pools before tiling, with the top coat being two-pot epoxy which goes off like plastic. Our pools are built like the proverbial brick outhouse and do not leak.



Our view is that your pool is a major purchase which you will not be able to take back to the shop to get your money back if you are not happy with it.



We don't build cheap pools, we build pools that our customers consider good value for money.

It's been under construction for a while as it's not a high priority. We keep changing content as well with new products and developments. Are you just curious or are you a website developer?

Pool is luxury if you want real pool you should use best material. So if you want to build 8*4 pool it's price is 17000stg. or if you want to use normal stone on your pool 15000 stg for8*4 pools. Do not build a pool before visiting tunalı construction. info@tunaliinsaat.com

Octopus pools is one of the only Pool construction companies I have ever meet in TRNC which takes the pool building subject so serious. I have worked with many, also Big TRNC names and also the very cheap builders. Beware. Compare the written technical and price offers, compare the concrete used and the steel ammount. Also Pumps, filters and pipes should all be in the right size! Most companies use to small filters, crap pumps, non closing and cheap valves and much tooo small pipes. Take your time.. We have just renovated an old pool 4x10 and it cost us 6500STG! (New Steel frame, concrete, sealing and tiles)

My next pool will be defenitively be a Octopus build Pool with a chemical free NECON system.

If you believe what you hear then all TRNC companies are in trouble. Did you see any accounts? Dont always believe what you hear, TRNC is small and some try to get their competitors down by negative press.

What you could do is stage payment. Agree to a start up sum of 3000-6000 stg ? Then you pay as you see the progress. But there is ALWAYS a risk in Cyprus. Which company are we talkin about as there are 3- 4 companies above..

10 by 5 pool should cost around 15000 stg with a two metre terrace all round. I built my pool 12 by 6 kidney shape for 19000 stg but used high quality products. I would say get recommendations and go and have a look at pools old and new and dont give too much money up front
