Why Fun Time Pools

Affordable Doesn't Mean Cheap.

Most Austin pool builders charge premium prices because of high overhead and big marketing budgets. We cut out the middlemen and pass those savings directly to you — without ever compromising on materials, craftsmanship, or your warranty.

🏗️

5,000 PSI Gunite

Same structural-grade concrete used on high-end custom homes. Built to outlast cheaper alternatives.

💰

No Markup on Materials

We source direct and keep overhead low. No showroom, no salespeople — just savings passed to you.

🛡️

10-Year Structural Warranty

The same warranty you'd get from a $150K builder — because we build to the same standard.

👨‍👦

Father & Son Owned

You deal with the owners directly — not a salesperson. Our reputation is on every pool we build.

The average Austin pool builder charges $80,000–$120,000+ for what we build starting at $49,999.

Who We Are

A Father & Son Team
Built on Craftsmanship

At Fun Time Pools, our goal is simple: build high-quality pools at a price the average working American family can afford. Our background comes from high-end custom home construction — and we bring that same level of care to every pool we build.

The idea became personal for Robert Pounds when he became a grandfather and saw how much his grandchild loved pool days. He wanted other families to have the same experience without the high cost that usually comes with it.

No Middlemen

We work directly with every customer from first dig to final splash.

Low Overhead

Minimal marketing costs means the savings go directly to you.

25+ Years Experience

Background in high-end custom home construction. We never cut corners.

Family Owned

Father & son. Your satisfaction is our only metric of success.
