Frequently asked questions about prefab pools

A permanent pool whose walls are galvanised steel panels, made in a factory and bolted together on site, sealed with a PVC liner. See the frame and the liner.

The frame never touches the water and is made to live in the ground, so it lasts for decades. The liner has a 10-year written warranty and usually lasts longer. When it wears out, only the liner is replaced.

For a pool with up to 50 m² of water surface, a small-scale works approval prepared by an engineer is usually enough. More on the pool permit page.

Weeks, not months. The exact time depends on size, ground, access and equipment, and it is written in the quote. See the timeline.

Rectangle, L-shape, with a recess for steps or a bench. The panels give straight lines. The liner is cut to the exact final shape.

For most family pools 1.20 to 1.50 m. Less for small pools and spas. We don't recommend head-first dives in private pools of this depth.

The pump is the biggest consumer. With a variable-speed pump and a good schedule, consumption drops noticeably. See plant room.

As much as the pool's volume: length × width × average depth. An 8 × 4 m pool with an average depth of 1.40 m needs about 45 cubic metres. On islands it often comes by water truck.

The pool stays full. We lower the level a little, protect the pipes and put on a cover. See winter closing.

Yes. Panels and liner travel easily by truck and ferry, and most of the rental properties we work for are on islands. See pools for villas.

After the site visit, in a written quote per item. We don't give "from" prices. See what sets the price.

Yes. We adapt the technical details to whatever your engineer specifies for the property. See the hotel pool.
