Choosing the Shape of your Pool

The Flexibility in Pool Shape provided by Polystyrene Block Pool Construction

One of the biggest advantages of Polystyrene Block Pool construction is that you can have any size and shape of pool that you want!

Some of the possibilities are shown below - but if you want something different - just let us know.

And the curved sides only costs a very little more because the curved blocks themselves are slightly more expensive.

Pool Shape Options

These are as follows:-

Flat Bottom Pools

These can be provided with water depths of 1.05, 1.35, 1.65 or 1.95 metres.

Hopper Pool with Safety Margin

This is the pool shape that most people prefer.

In a hopper pool of this type the Dimension A is normally 1.15 m and B is 2.15 giving a water depth of about 1.05 on the flat area of the pool and 2.05 metres in the hopper.

Wedge Shaped Pool

In a wedge shaped pool of this type Dimension D1 is normally 1.15 m giving 1.05 m water depth and D2 can be 1.45, 1.75 or 2.05 metres deep. A is normally equal to C and are commonly about 0.25 x the pool Length L.

These pools are more expensive than hopper pools becaue of the increased wall height, the extra polystyrene blocks required, the increased amount of wall reinforcement and the increased liner area.

Angled Pool

In these types of pools the pool floor can be a hopper with a safety margin or a wedge.

Kidney Shape

In this type of pool any shape can be produced that is based on a multiple of blocks of 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0 metres Radius. If a hopper is required it will need to be circular on plan.

"Blue Pools have done a fabulous job on the pool at our holiday home in Argenton-sur-Creuse. It wasn't easy to instal but they kept us informed of progress and always came up with solutions that overcame the obstacles & ensured we got our dream pool. What I liked most is that they returned to put right a couple of problems with the equipment after the job was done, at no extra cost. The finish is very good and is made to a high standard with very low maintenance. It is great to see such dedication & integrity - I can't speak highly enough of Will, Luke & their staff.

I appreciated the answers to my questions and the time Luke spent at our initial meeting, going thriough the various options, with helpful suggestions and observations on our plans for our new pool at our holiday home near Tarbres. It was a relief to find a company that was prepared to offer a full construction solution including the terracing, steps and landscaping. I found the quotation very comprehensive, and useful to have an idea of the costs we might incur should ground conditions prove difficult - which they did!! Also appreciated Bluepools ability to overcome the difficulty encountered with the water table.

You were pretty accurate in terms of timescale for completing the project although there was an over run of three days because of the day or two later than advised start, the extra work involved in overcoming the water table issue, and the inclement weather towards the end of the final week.

Having been initially advised by Luke that an engineering project of this scale would undoubtedly create damage to the land surrounding the pool site, we were pleasantly surprised at how little damage had actually been caused.
Overall, very happy with how everything has been handled, and would happily recommend Bluepools - especially now they're going to have a presence down that way.

Kind Regards

I would like to thank you for the way you handled the installations off the two swimming pools for me. You managed to start just after the selected time, proved to be totally reliable and finished in the time frame you had expected. The quality of the work was fine and you left everything neat and tidy after you had finished. I have good relationship with Luke and he has always been available to sort out any teething problems. I would like to wish you all the very best for the future.

When working on an old house there are always many unforeseen problems, and, like many other Brits, our house is old. So when it came to putting a swimming pool close to the house it was not surprising to find some complications. Bluepools proved themselves by recognising these complications and coming up with solutions.
Their ability to cope with these extras has made such a difference. Otherwise we would have been chasing around, spending time we really do not have, looking for additional artisans to do those unforeseen bits and pieces.
From the earliest stages, a test hole for the fosse septique soak-away, through to completion of the swimming pool Bluepools products and services have been good which means peace of mind for us."

Hi Luke,

The pool has been brilliant and we have had an increase in the number of people wanting to visit as a result. But that is something we can put up with!
