What is included in the DIY pool package
Premium fiberglass pool shell
Canadian-made fiberglass shells selected for Ontario ownership, freeze-thaw conditions, and long-term backyard performance.
Pool delivery coordination
Okeanos coordinates shell and equipment delivery so the site team can plan access, staging, and timing before installation day.
Installation guide and remote support
Use step-by-step documentation and Okeanos guidance for backfill, fittings, placement, equipment, and common installation issues. Read the homeowner preparation checklist.
Optional equipment packages
Add pre-matched pump, filter, heater, salt, lighting, automation, or other equipment options planned around the shell. Read equipment setup guidance.
Optional crane coordination
Get support planning crane access, reach, staging, and shell placement so delivery day is not improvised. Review excavation and placement day.
Before you choose DIY, confirm the site and team are ready
DIY saves labour only when the trades, equipment, access, and sequence are realistic before the shell arrives.

DIY site support
Send photos, access notes, and install questions before high-risk steps.
Confirm truck access, machine access, spoil handling, setbacks, permits, delivery route, and a practical excavation plan before ordering.
Site access and excavation
Plan the base, bedding, leveling process, drainage conditions, and backfill approach before the shell is placed.
Base preparation and leveling
Bring qualified trades into plumbing, bonding/electrical, equipment pad location, heater/filter/pump sizing, and startup sequence.
Plumbing, electrical, and equipment
Okeanos keeps the planning practical: model fit, access, shell delivery, equipment, startup education, and local support are reviewed before the project moves forward.
Shell placement and crane access
Canadian-made fiberglass shells, engineer-led planning, and Ontario support give homeowners and project teams a clearer path from first quote to pool handoff.
Startup and warranty handoff
Okeanos keeps the planning practical: model fit, access, shell delivery, equipment, startup education, and local support are reviewed before the project moves forward.
Know exactly what your team handles and what Okeanos supports
The best DIY projects have a clear responsibility split before work begins. If access, slope, drainage, trades, or timing feel uncertain, compare assisted install or full-service pool installation before committing.
