In May 2004 we ordered a swimming pool, they started on time and we had a completion date of June 7th ,the pool itself was completed 2 weeks late which was not a major problem, however the cover to the motor room and the clearing of the site is a different matter.
1st the motor room cover the ironman (Turkish term) came with what can only be described as a monstrosity (3 pieces of scrap metal welded together , covered in rust & painted black) with the biggest hinges you have ever seen in your life protruding an inch upwards. When I phoned Taner the owner of the company informing him that Scunner was coming to a pool party with his children he rushed round (which is a miracle in Turkey) with a piece of scrap plywood to cover said hole. On Monday august 9th the "ironman" returned with another piece of scrap metal (albeit this time with no hinges) and proceeded to install it, after smashing one of my patio tiles after hammering said cover to get it to fit he informed me that he had finished, WELL I have NEVER seen such a dangerous & bad piece of workmanship in all my life, I duly picked up the BOILING HOT (through the heat of the sun) & SCRAPPY piece of metal & threw it over the wall, (it`s a good job the ironman moved out of the way quickly) needless to say, we still haven`t got a cover.
2nd the clearing of the site : after asking the owner of the company to clear up the mess (which is quite substantial) I was promised (yet again) that this would be done, I asked again last week (for the 4th time, if not more) and was told that it would be done as soon as he could get somebody to do it (which is funny, because he cleared a friends as it was on a road) needless to say that job has not been completed either.
The name of said company is : Fetkin which are based in fethiye, the owner of the company is Taner Pamukcu.
My advice to anybody wanting a swimming pool built is to steer clear of this company if you want the job finished.

Sounds awful! Hope you haven't paid in full.
Can you use the pool itself though?
-
the pool is great, it`s the rest that is the problem

It`s a fantastic pool Dave.....dont think we`ll be using them then!!!!

When dealing with companies in Turkey for building prodjects,would it not be an idea to mention this website to them and explain the damage you can do to there company if you are badly let down.
